The Korteweg-de Vries(K-dV), modified K-dV(MK-dV), and higher-order MK-dV(HMK-dV) equations are derived by employing the reductive perturbation method. The basic features of HIASWs(viz. speed, polarity,amplitude, width, etc.) are found to be significantly modified by the effects of number density and temperature of different plasma species, and external magnetic field(obliqueness). The K-dV and HM-Kd V equations give rise to both compressive and rarefactive solitary structures, whereas the MK-dV equation supports only the compressive solitary structures. The implication of our results in some space and laboratory plasma situations are briefly discussed.展开更多

The reductive perturbation method is employed to derive the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation which admits a localized solitary wave solution for small but finite amplitude limit, and the multi-dimensional instability of the positron acoustic solitary waves(PASWs) is studied by the small-k perturbation expansion method. It is found that the basic characteristics(viz. phase speed, amplitude, width) of the PASWs are significantly affected by the degree of obliqueness, relativistic degeneracy,and plasma particle number densities. The instability criterion and its growth rate, which are depending on the magnetic field and the propagation directions of both the PASWs, and their perturbation modes are discussed. The present analysis can be helpful in understanding the nonlinear phenomenon in dense astrophysical as well as space plasma systems,especially in pulsar environments.展开更多
