Existence of dust ion acoustic solitary wave and double layer solution at M = Mc

The Sagdeev potential technique has been used to investigate the existence and the polarity of dust ion acoustic solitary structures in an unmagnetized collisionless nonthermal dusty plasma consisting of negatively charged static dust grains, adiabatic warm ions and nonthermal electrons when the velocity of the wave frame is equal to the linearized velocity of the dust ion acoustic wave for long wave length plane wave perturbation, i.e., when the velocity of the solitary structure is equal to the acoustic speed. A compositional parameter space has been drawn which shows the nature of existence and the polarity of dust ion acoustic solitary structures at the acoustic speed. This compositional parameter space clearly indicates the regions for the existence of positive and negative potential dust ion acoustic solitary structures. Again, this compositional parameter space shows that the present system supports the negative potential double layer at the acoustic speed along a particular curve in the parametric plane. However, the negative potential double layer is unable to restrict the occurrence of all negative potential solitary waves. As a result, in a particular region of the parameter space, there exist negative potential solitary waves after the formation of negative potential double layer. But the amplitudes of these supersolitons are bounded. A finite jump between amplitudes of negative potential solitons separated by the negative potential double layer has been observed, and consequently, the present system supports the supersolitons at the acoustic speed in a neighbourhood of the curve along which negative potential double layer exist. The effects of the parameters on the amplitude of the solitary structures at the acoustic speed have been discussed.

Dust ion acoustic solitary structures in presence of isothermal positrons

The Sagdeev potential technique has been employed to study the dust ion acoustic solitary waves and double layers in an unmagnetized collisionless dusty plasma consisting of negatively charged static dust grains, adiabatic warm ions, and isothermally distributed electrons and positrons. A computational scheme has been developed to draw the qualitatively different compositional parameter spaces or solution spaces showing the nature of existence of different solitary structures with respect to any parameter of the present plasma system. The qualitatively distinct solution spaces give the overall scenario regarding the existence of different solitary structures. The present system supports both positive and negative potential double layers. The negative potential double layer always restricts the occurrence of negative potential solitary waves, i.e., any sequence of negative potential solitary waves having monotonically increasing amplitude converges to a negative potential double layer. However, there exists a parameter regime for which the positive potential double layer is unable to restrict the occurrence of positive potential solitary waves. As a result, in this region of the parameter space, there exist solitary waves after the formation of positive potential double layer, i.e., positive potential supersolitons have been observed. But the amplitudes of these supersolitons are bounded. A general theory for the existence of bounded supersolitons has been discussed analytically by imposing the restrictions on the Mach number. For any small value of positron concentration, there is no effect of very hot positrons on the dust ion acoustic solitary structures. The qualitatively different solution spaces are capable of producing new results for the formation of solitary structures.

Dust ion acoustic solitary structures in nonthermal dusty plasma

Dust ion acoustic solitary structures have been investigated in an unmagnetized nonthermal plasma consisting of negatively charged dust grains, adiabatic positive ions and nonthermal electrons. For isothermal electrons, the present plasma system does not support any double layer solution, whereas for nonthermal electrons, negative potential double layer starts to occur whenever the nonthermal parameter exceeds a critical value. However this double layer solution is unable to restrict the occurrence of all negative potential solitary waves of the present system. As a result, two different types of negative potential solitary waves have been observed, in which occurrence of first type of solitary wave is restricted by M_c M_D, where M_c is the lower bound of Mach number M and M_D(>M_c) is the Mach number corresponding to a negative potential double layer. A finite jump between the amplitudes of negative potential of solitary waves at M=M_D-ε_1 and at M=M_D+ε_2 has been observed, where 0<ε_1 0. An analytical theory for the existence of double layer has been presented. A numerical scheme has also been provided to find the value of Mach number at which double layer solution exists and also the amplitude of that double layer. Although the occurrence of coexistence of solitary structures of both polarities is restricted by M_c M_max, where M_max is the upper bound of M for the existence of positive potential solitary waves only. Qualitatively different compositional parameter spaces showing the nature of existing solitary structures of the energy integral have been found. These solution spaces are capable of producing new results and physical ideas for the formation of solitary structures.

An analytical study on the existence of solitary wave and double layer solution of the well-known energy integral at M= Mc

A general theory for the existence of solitary wave and double layer at M= Mc has been discussed, where Mc is the lower bound of the Mach number M, i.e., solitary wave and/or double layer solutions of the well-known energy integral start to exist for M> Mc. Ten important theorems have been proved to confirm the existence of solitary wave and double layer at M = Mc. If V(ϕ)({\equiv}V(M,ϕ)) denotes the Sagdeev potential with ϕ is the perturbed field or perturbed dependent variable associated with the specific problem, V(M,ϕ) is well defined as a real number for all M {\in} \mathcal{M} and for all ϕ {\in} Φ, and V(M,0)=V'(M,0)=V"(Mc,0)=0, V"'(Mc,0)<0 (V"'(Mc,0)>0), \deltaV/\deltaM < 0 for all M({\in} \mathcal{M}) > 0 and for all ϕ({\in} Φ) > 0 (ϕ({\in}Φ) < 0), where " '{\equiv} δ/δϕ ", the main analytical results for the existence of solitary wave and double layer solution of the energy integral at M= Mc are as follows. Result-1: If there exists at least one value M0 of M such that the system supports positive (negative) potential solitary waves for all Mc Mc, then there does not exist positive (negative) potential solitary wave at M= Mc. Result-3: It is not possible to have coexistence of both positive and negative potential solitary structures (including double layers) at M= Mc. Apart from the conditions of Result-1, the double layer solution at M= Mc is possible only when there exists a double layer solution in any right neighborhood of Mc. Finally these analytical results have been applied to a specific problem on dust acoustic waves in nonthermal plasma in search of new results.
