A modified Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation is derived for ion-acoustic waves in a multispecies plasma consisting of non-isothermal electrons. This equation is used to investigate the stability of modified KdV solitons against long-wavelength plane-wave perturbation using the small-k perturbation expansion method of Rowlands and Infeld. It is found that modified KdV solitons are stable.

We study the stability of positive radially symmetric solitary waves for a three dimensional generalisation of the Korteweg de Vries equation, which describes nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a magnetised plasma, and for a generalisation in dimension two of the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation.

Cylindrical ion-acoustic solitons are investigated in a warm plasma with negative ions and multiple-temperature electrons through the derivation of a cylindrical Korteweg–de Vries equation using a reductive perturbation theory. The results are compared with those for the corresponding planar solitons.

Ion acoustic waves propagating in a collision-free gravity-supported one-dimeiisional plasma are studied, including conditions where the wavelength is of the order of the scale height of the equilibrium plasma. It turns out that the fluid dynamic steepening tendency of waves propagating in the direction of decreasing density is overcome by Landau damping up to wavelengths of the order of the scale height or even larger, depending on the ratio of the electron and the ion temperatures.

The higher-order growth rate of instability for obliquely propagating kinetic Alfvén and ion-acoustic solitons in a magnetized non-thermal plasma have been obtained by the multiple-scale perturbation expansion method developed by Allen and Rowlands (1993). The growth rate of instability is obtained correct to order k2, where k is the wave number of a long-wavelength plane-wave perturbation. The corresponding lowest-order stability analysis has been considered recently by Bandyopadhyay and Das (2000b). It has been found that the kinetic Alfvén solitary waves are stable at the order of k but are unstable at the order of k2. It has also been found that the growth rate of instability at the order of k for ion-acoustic solitary waves is free from the parameters of the non-thermal plasma but at the order of k2 depends on the parameters of the non-thermal plasma.

Using the KBM perturbation technique, the stability of oblique modulation on ion-acoustic waves in a plasma with two species of warm ions is studied. The effect of the temperatures of two ion species on the modulational instability is discussed in detail. The nonlinear frequency shift and the change in zeroth-order density are also calculated for different values of ion temperatures. Predictions of the theory are in fairly good agreement with the experimental observation of modulational instability.

The trigonometric quintic B-spline scheme is used in this research paper to research Zakharov’s (ZK) nonlinear dimensional equation’s numerical solution. The ZK model’s solutions explain the relationship between the high-frequency Langmuir and the low-frequency ion-acoustic waves with many applications in optical fiber, coastal engineering, and fluid mechanics of electromagnetic waves, plasma physics, and signal processing. Three recent computational schemes (the expanded [Formula: see text]-expansion method, generalized Kudryashov method, and modified Khater method) have recently been used to investigate this model’s moving wave solution. Many innovative solutions have been established in this paper to determine the original and boundary conditions that allow numerous numerical schemes to be implemented. Here, the trigonometric quintic B-spline method is used to analyze the precision of the collected analytical solutions. To illustrate the precision of the numerical and computational solutions, distinct drawings are depicted.

Nonlinear propagation of ion-acoustic waves and low-frequency electrostatic modes in a dusty plasma is investigated. The evolution equations of these modes are developed and solved analytically. It is found that for small grain charge usual ion-acoustic solitons may exist in a dusty plasma, but increasing grain charge destroys them and finally they may disappear. The low-frequency electrostatic mode may be localized, forming solitons, which may act as centres of wave scattering in a dusty plasma.
