Abstract

ABSTRACT The modulational instability of ion-acoustic rogue waves in a three-dimensional magnetized, dissipative plasma consisting of inertial warm positive ions and nonextensive electrons has been theoretically investigated. Using the well-known reductive perturbation method, the (3+1)-dimensional modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation (mNLSE), i.e. the standard NLSE in addition to the dissipative term has been derived and then solved to obtained instability criteria, as well as first- and second-order rogue wave solutions. It is found that increasing viscosity results in dissipation of energy which makes the IARW shorter and thinner as was reported in the literature. Furthermore effects of relevant parameters such as nonextensive parameter, and magnetic field on growth rate and rogue waves solutions were discussed in detail. The results of the present investigation may be useful in understanding and predicting the nonlinear excitations that occur in space and laboratory dissipative plasma systems.
