Abstract

We study here the nonlinear oblique propagation of magnetoacoustic waves in dense plasmas with degenerate electrons by deriving Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation for small but finite amplitude perturbations. The two soliton interaction has been studied by finding the solution of the KP equation using the Hirota bilinear formalism. For illustrative purposes, we have used the plasma parameters typically found in white dwarf stars for both the fast and slow modes of magnetoacoustic waves. It has been observed that the soliton interaction in the fast and slow modes is strongly influenced by the predominant and weak dispersive coefficients of the KP equation. The single soliton behavior has also been explained for the fast and slow magnetoacoustic modes.
