Abstract

The propagation of electrostatic ion-acoustic cnoidal waves (IACWs) and solitons in a degenerated electron-positron-ion plasma with cold inertial ions and Thomas-Fermi distributed electrons and positrons is investigated. Adopting a reductive perturbation technique (RPT), the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is obtained and its cnoidal waves (CWs) solution is analyzed. The plasma configuration parameters (namely, the positron concentration and the Fermi temperature ratio of electron-to-positron) are shown to affect remarkably the dynamical characteristics of IACWs and solitons. The relevance of the present work to superdense white dwarfs is pointed out.
