Abstract
The influence of ion streaming and weak relativistic effects on the modulational instability of ion-acoustic waves in a collisionless unmagnetized plasma is investigated. An averaging method is used to derive a weakly nonlinear dispersion relation, from which the instability criterion is deduced. Conflicting results in the literature are resolved.
