The presence and propagation of dust-acoustic solitary waves in dusty plasma contains four components such as negative and positive dust species beside ions and electrons are studied. Both the ions and electrons distributions are represented applying nonextensive formula. Employing the reductive perturbation method, an evolution equation is derived to describe the small-amplitude dust-acoustic solitons in the considered plasma system. The used reductive perturbation stretches lead to the nonlinear KdV and modified KdV equations with nonlinear and dispersion coefficients that depend on the parameters of the plasma. This study represents that the presence of compressive or/and rarefactive solitary waves depends mainly on the value of the first-order nonlinear coefficient. The structure of envelope wave is undefined for first-order nonlinear coefficient tends to vanish. The coexistence of the two types of solitary waves appears by increasing the strength of nonlinearity to the second order using the modified KdV equation.

AbstractIn the present research paper, the characteristics of dust-acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) and double layers (DLs) are studied. Ions are treated as non-thermal and variable dust charge is considered. The Korteweg–de Vries equation is derived using a reductive perturbation method. It is noticed that compressive solitons are obtained up to a certain range of relative density δ (=ni0/ne0) beyond which rarefactive solitons are observed. The study is further extended to investigate the possibility of DLs. Only compressive DLs are permissible. Both DASWs and DLs are sensitive to variation of the non-thermal parameter.

The contribution of the higher-order correction to nonlinear dust-acoustic waves are studied using the reductive perturbation method in an unmagnetized collisionless mesospheric dusty plasma. A Korteweg - de Vries (KdV) equation that contains the lowest-order nonlinearity and dispersion is derived from the lowest order of perturbation, and a linear inhomogeneous (KdV-type) equation that accounts for the higher-order nonlinearity and dispersion is obtained. A stationary solution is achived via renormalization method

AbstractThe properties of non-planar (cylindrical and spherical) dust-acoustic solitary waves (DA SWs) and double layers (DLs) in an unmagnetised collisionless four-component dusty plasma, whose constituents are positively and negatively charged dust grains, super thermal electrons and Boltzmannian ions are investigated by deriving the modified Gardner (MG) equation. The well known reductive perturbation method is employed to derive the MG equation and solve it numerically to study the nonlinear features of the finite amplitude non-planar DA Gardner solitons (GSs) and DLs, which are shown to exist for κ around its critical value κc (where, κ is the super thermal parameter and κc is the value of κ corresponding to the vanishing of the nonlinear coefficient of the Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) equation). It is seen that the properties of non-planar DA SWs and DLs are significantly differs in non-planar geometry from planar geometry. It is also found that the magnitude of the amplitude of positive and negative GSs decreases with κ and the width of positive and negative GSs increases with the increase of κ.

AbstractA Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation is derived here, that describes the nonlinear behaviour of long-wavelength weakly nonlinear dust acoustic waves propagating in an arbitrary direction in a plasma consisting of static negatively charged dust grains, non-thermal ions and isothermal electrons. It is found that the rarefactive or compressive nature of the dust acoustic solitary wave solution of the KdV equation does not depend on the dust temperature if σdc < 0 or σdc > σd*, where σdc is a function of β1, α and μ only, and σd*(<1) is the upper limit (upper bound) of σd. This β1 is the non-thermal parameter associated with the non-thermal velocity distribution of ions, α is the ratio of the average temperature of the non-thermal ions to that of the isothermal electrons, μ is the ratio of the unperturbed number density of isothermal electrons to that of the non-thermal ions, Zdσd is the ratio of the average temperature of the dust particles to that of the ions and Zd is the number of electrons residing on the dust grain surface. The KdV equation describes the rarefactive or the compressive dust acoustic solitary waves according to whether σdc < 0 or σdc > σd*. When 0 ≤ σdc ≤ σd*, the KdV equation describes the rarefactive or the compressive dust acoustic solitary waves according to whether σd > σdc or σd < σdc. If σd takes the value σdc with 0 ≤ σdc ≤ σd*, the coefficient of the nonlinear term of the KdV equation vanishes and, for this case, the nonlinear evolution equation of the dust acoustic waves is derived, which is a modified KdV (MKdV) equation. A theoretical investigation of the nature (rarefactive or compressive) of the dust acoustic solitary wave solutions of the evolution equations (KdV and MKdV) is presented with respect to the non-thermal parameter β1. For any given values of α and μ, it is found that the value of σdc completely defines the nature of the dust acoustic solitary waves except for a small portion of the entire range of the non-thermal parameter β1.
