The nonlinear wave structures of large amplitude ion-acoustic waves are studied in a plasma with positrons. We have presented the region of existence of the ion-acoustic waves by analysing the structure of the pseudopotential. The region of existence sensitively depends on the positron to electron density ratio, the ion to electron mass ratio and the positron to electron temperature ratio. It is shown that the maximum Mach number increases as the positron temperature increases and the region of existence of the ion-acoustic waves spreads as the positron temperature increases. The present theory is applicable to analyse large amplitude ion-acoustic waves associated with positrons which may occur in space plasmas.

It has previously been observed that ion-acoustic waves exhibit two types of behaviour as the proportion of light ions in a mixed plasma is varied. Either the principal mode of the heavy ion plasma changes continuously into that of the light ion plasma, or it becomes too heavily damped to be observable while a second wave appears and develops into the principal light ion mode. A similar phenomenon is observed as the wavenumber or the ratio of electron temperature to ion temperature is changed. Criteria determining which behaviour occurs are derived by considering the form of the dielectric response function. The results may also be used to predict which of the higher-order modes of the plasma is involved in the process, and whether degeneracies exist in the dispersion relation.
