Space time fractional KdV Burgers equation for dust acoustic shock waves in dusty plasma with non-thermal ions

The KdV–Burgers equation for dust acoustic waves in unmagnetized plasma having electrons, singly charged nonthermal ions, and hot and cold dust species is derived using the reductive perturbation method. The Boltzmann distribution is used for electrons in the presence of the cold(hot) dust viscosity coefficients. The semi-inverse method and Agrawal variational technique are applied to formulate the space–time fractional KdV–Burgers equation which is solved using the fractional sub-equation method. The effect of the fractional parameter on the behavior of the dust acoustic shock waves in the dusty plasma is investigated.     

Modulation of the non-linear ion acoustic waves in a plasma consisting of warm ions and isothermal electrons

Summary Modulation of one-dimensional ion acoustic waves in a plasma consisting of a mixture of warm ions and isothermal electrons has been studied using the derivative expansion method. A non-linear Schr?dinger-type equation governing the complex amplitude of the perturbed ion density is obtained. The small-wave-number limit has been considered to compare it with the oscillatory solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation obtained by Tagare and Lai using the reductive perturbation method. A good agreement has been found.     

Electrostatic solitary waves associated with relativistic nonextensive electrons in magnetized fusion plasma

Properties of nonlinear electrostatic solitary waves in a magnetized multicomponent system of plasma containing of warm fluid ions, weakly relativistic warm fluid electrons and q-nonextensive distributed electrons using reductive perturbation method, have been surveyed. For this purpose, a KdV soliton type solution has been employed. The dependence of solitary wave structure, solitary wave maximum amplitude, and phase velocity of soliton on the plasma parameters is defined numerically.     

New approximate solution for time-fractional coupled KdV equations by generalised differential transform method

In this paper,the generalised two-dimensional differential transform method (DTM) of solving the time-fractional coupled KdV equations is proposed.The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense.The presented method is a numerical method based on the generalised Taylor series expansion which constructs an analytical solution in the form of a polynomial.An illustrative example shows that the generalised two-dimensional DTM is effective for the coupled equations.     

Ion-acoustic solitary waves in e-p-i plasmas with (r,q)-distributed electrons and kappa-distributed positrons

In this paper, we have studied the propagation of non-linear ion-acoustic waves in a plasma comprising of (r, q) -distributed electrons and kappa-distributed positrons. We have investigated the effect of complete electron distribution profile on the propagation of small, as well as arbitrary, amplitude solitons (via pseudopotential technique) by using generalized (r, q) distribution, which exhibits a spiky and flat top nature at low energies and a super-thermal tail at high energies. Interestingly, for negative values of r , solitons are formed with both polarities, positive (compressive) and negative (rarefactive), separately within a small amplitude limit and exist simultaneously in an arbitrary amplitude limit. We also found that the propagation of solitons has been affected by the change in parameters r , q , positron concentration, and electron to positron temperature ratio. The results presented in this study add to the fundamental understanding of the complete profile of the electron distribution function, high- and low-energy parts, and in the formation of compressive and rarefactive small and finite amplitude solitons in both space and astrophysical plasmas.     

Modulational instability of ion—acoustic waves in a warm plasma

Using the standard reductive perturbation technique,a nonlinear Schroedinger equation is derived to study the modulational instability of finite-amplitude ion-acoustic waves in a non-magnetized warm plasma.It is found that the inclusion of ion temperature in the equation modifies the nature of the ion-acoustic wave stability and the soliton stuctures.The effects of ion plasma temperature on the modulational stability and ion-acoustic wave properties are inestigated in detail.

Analytical and approximate solutions of(2+1)-dimensional time-fractional Burgers-Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

In this paper, we applied the sub-equation method to obtain a new exact solution set for the extended version of the time-fractional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, namely BurgersKadomtsev-Petviashvili equation(Burgers-K-P) that arises in shallow water waves.Furthermore, using the residual power series method(RPSM), approximate solutions of the equation were obtained with the help of the Mathematica symbolic computation package. We also presented a few graphical illustrations for some surfaces. The fractional derivatives were considered in the conformable sense. All of the obtained solutions were replaced back in the governing equation to check and ensure the reliability of the method. The numerical outcomes confirmed that both methods are simple, robust and effective to achieve exact and approximate solutions of nonlinear fractional differential equations.     

Element-free Galerkin method for a kind of KdV equation

The present paper deals with the numerical solution of the third-order nonlinear KdV equation using the element-free Galerkin (EFG) method which is based on the moving least-squares approximation. A variational method is used to obtain discrete equations, and the essential boundary conditions are enforced by the penalty method. Compared with numerical methods based on mesh, the EFG method for KdV equations needs only scattered nodes instead of meshing the domain of the problem. It does not require any element connectivity and does not suffer much degradation in accuracy when nodal arrangements are very irregular. The effectiveness of the EFG method for the KdV equation is investigated by two numerical examples in this paper.     

Ion-acoustic waves at the night side of Titan's ionosphere: higher-order approximation

Nonlinear solitary waves are investigated for a plasma system at the night side of Titan's ionosphere. The plasma model consists of three positive ions, namely C_2H_5~+, HCNH~+, and C_3H_5~+, as well as Maxwellian electrons. The basic set of fluid equations is reduced to a Korteweg de-Vries(KdV) equation and linear inhomogeneous higher order KdV(LIHO-KdV) equation.The solitary wave solutions of both equations are obtained using a renormalization method. The solitary waves' existence region and the wave profile are investigated, and their dependences on the plasma parameters at the night side of Titan's ionosphere are examined. The solitary waves' phase velocities are subsonic or supersonic, and the propagating pulses are usually positive. The effect of higher-order corrections on the perturbation theory is investigated. It is found that the higher-order contribution makes the amplitude slightly taller, which is suitable for describing the solitary waves when the amplitude augments.     

Electrostatic double layers in a warm negative ion plasma with nonextensive electrons

The electrostatic double layer (DL) structures are studied in negative ion plasma with nonextensive electrons q-distribution. The extended Korteweg–de Vries (EKdV) equation is derived using a reductive perturbation method. It is found that both fast (compressive) and slow (rarefactive) ion acoustic (IA) DLs can propagate in such type of plasmas. The effects of various plasma physical parameters; such as nonextensivity of electrons, presence of negative ions, temperature of both positive and negative ions and different mass ratios of positive to negative ions on the formation of DL structures are discussed in detail with numerical illustrations.     

The extended auxiliary equation method for the KdV equation with variable coefficients

This paper applies an extended auxiliary equation method to obtain exact solutions of the KdV equation with variable coefficients. As a result, solitary wave solutions, trigonometric function solutions, rational function solutions, Jacobi elliptic doubly periodic wave solutions, and nonsymmetrical kink solution are obtained. It is shown that the extended auxiliary equation method, with the help of a computer symbolic computation system, is reliable and effective in finding exact solutions of variable coefficient nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.     

Modulational instability of a weakly relativistic ion acoustic wave in a warm plasma with nonthermal electrons

An investigation has been made of modulational instability of a nonlinear ion acoustic wave in a weakly relativistic warm unmagnetized nonthermal plasma whose constituents are an inertial ion fluid and nonthermally distributed electrons. Up to the second order of the perturbation theory, a nonlinear Schr?dinger type (NST) equation for the complex amplitude of the perturbed ion density is obtained. The coefficients of this equation show that the relativistic effect, the finite ion temperature and the nonthermal electrons modify the condition of the modulational stability. The association between the small-wavenumber limit of the NST equation and the oscillatory solution of the Korteweg－de Varies equation, obtained by a reductive perturbation theory, is satisfied.     

Exact periodic waves and their interactions for the (2+1)-dimensional KdV equation

By means of the singular manifold method we obtain a general solution involving three arbitrary functions for the (2+1)-dimensional KdV equation. Diverse periodic wave solutions may be produced by appropriately selecting these arbitrary functions as the Jacobi elliptic functions. The interaction properties of the periodic waves are investigated numerically and found to be nonelastic. The long wave limit yields some new types of solitary wave solutions. Especially the dromion and the solitoff solutions obtained in this paper possess new types of solution structures which are quite different from the basic dromion and solitoff ones reported previously in the literature.

Bifurcation and Solitary Waves of the Combined KdV and KdV Equation

Bifurcation, bistability and solitary waves of the combined KdV and mKdV equation are investigatedsystematically. At first, bifurcation and bistability are analyzed by selecting an integral constant as the bifurcationparameter. Then, different conditions expressed in terms of the bifurcation parameter are obtained for the existence ofbreather-like, algebraic, pulse-like solitary waves, and shock waves. All types of the solitary wave and shock wave solutionsare given by direct integration. Finally, an approximate analytic method by employing the interpolation polynomials iscomplete and the theoretical methods are the simplest hitherto.
