Abstract: | A Korteweg-de Vires-type (KdV-type) equation and a modifiedNonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) for the dust lattice wave(DLW) are derived in a weakly inhomogeneous dust plasma crystal. Itseems that the amplitude and the velocity of the dust lattice solitary waves decay exponentially with increasing time in a dust lattice. The modulational instability of this dust lattice envelope waves is investigated as well. It is found that the waves are modulational stable under certain conditions. On the other hand, the waves are modulational unstable if the conditions are not satisfied. |
