A theoretical investigation was made for the ion acoustic wave in a weakly relativistic magnetized electron-positron-ion warm plasma. A Korteweg-de vries equation (KdV) is derived by using a standard reductive perturbation method. It is found that the presence of ion temperature (σ), ratios of positron-to-electron density (β), electron-to-positron temperature (α), and relativistic factor (Ur) significantly modify solitonic behavior. The authors observed that these parameters considerably change the amplitude and width of the solitary wave.

A recently described numerical theory for obtaining the Sagdeev and real potential profiles of stationary wave forms in a plasma consisting of double-Maxwellian electrons and two or more species of warm ions is used for the study of solitons in such a plasma. The effects of ion temperature and light-ion concentration on rarefactive ion-acoustic soliton profiles in a double-ion plasma obtained with this large-amplitude theory are compared with those predicted from a Korteweg–de Vries equation. Application of the theory to the work of Nakamura and co-workers is discussed, and we draw attention to ion thermal effects.

The effect of finite ion temperature and a small concentration of a cooler electron component on the width and phase velocity ion-acoustic solitons in a plasma with adiabatic ions and isothermal electrons with two electron-temperatures is investigated. A small concentration of a cooler electron component leads to effects qualitatively different from those obtained in a single-electron temperature plasma. By using hydrodynamic equations for warm ions and two-electron temperature plasma, Korteweg–de Vries equation is derived.

Using the reductive perturbation technique, a cylindrical and (or) spherical Korteweg – de Vries (KdV) equation is derived for a dust-ion acoustic solitary wave (DIASW) in an unmagnetized dusty plasma, whose constituents are adiabatic ion fluid, nonextensive electrons, and negatively charged static dust particles. The solution of the modified KdV equation in nonplanar geometry is numerically analyzed. The change of the DIASW structure due to the effect of the geometry, nonextensive parameter, dust density, and ion temperature is investigated by numerical calculation of the cylindrical and (or) spherical KdV equation. It is found that both compressive and rarefactive type DIA waves are obtained depending on the plasma parameter.

The problem of propagation of an ion-acoustic soliton and its reflection in a weakly inhomogeneous plasma is considered, taking into account the effect of finite ion temperature. A reductive perturbation analysis is carried out to obtain expressions for the local speed, amplitude and width of the soliton. The peak value of the soliton amplitude increases and the soliton width decreases with increasing ion temperature. An equation describing the dependence of the reflected-wave amplitude on ion temperature is obtained. The amplitude of the reflected wave is observed to decrease with increasing ion temperature on account of Landau damping.
