Archipelagos, islands, necklaces, and other exotic structures in external force-driven chaotic dusty plasmas

Abstract

In this paper, the modified Kadomtsev Petviashvili (mKP) equation is derived by considering the dynamics of the dust-acoustic waves (DAWs) with kappa-distributed hot and cold ions and Boltzmannian electrons. The reductive perturbation technique is applied for deriving mKP. The bifurcation theory of the planar dynamical system is used to obtain the phase portrait of the DAWs in the framework of mKP equation. The formation of dust-acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) is analyzed for different plasma parameters in the Saturn’s magnetosphere. In the current plasma model, the external periodic force is introduced to study the quasiperiodic and chaotic behavior of the DAWs. It is noted that periodic initial conditions lead to the emergence of many outlandish features in the system by comparison with the solitary initial conditions. The frequency of the external periodic force ω plays an important role in the transition from quasiperiodic to chaotic behavior. Moreover, the strength of the external periodic force, the value of the nonlinear coefficient of the mKP equation, and the nonlinear acoustic speed are also found to have a significant effect on the chaotic behavior of the system.
