Dynamical analysis and soliton solutions of a variety of quantum nonlinear Zakharov–Kuznetsov models via three analytical techniques

Some new types of truncated M-fractional exact soliton solutions of the two important quantum plasma physics models, extended quantum Zakharov–Kuznetsov and extended quantum nonlinear Zakharov–Kuznetsov, are successfully achieved by applying the expa function technique, the improved (G′/G)-expansion technique, and the Sardar sub-equation technique. These two models have many useful applications when explaining the waves in the quantum electron-positron-ion magnetoplasmas as well as weakly nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in plasma. The obtained results are in the form of dark, bright, periodic, and other soliton solutions. The results are verified and represented by two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and contour graphs. The results are newer than the existing results in the literature due to the use of fractional derivatives. Hence, the solutions will be fruitful in future studies on these models. The solutions obtained are useful in the areas of applied physics, applied mathematics, dynamical systems, and nonlinear waves in plasmas and in dense space plasma. The applied techniques are simple, fruitful, and reliable for solving other models in mathematical physics.

Bifurcation analysis of Van der Pol–Mathieu equation for the dust grain charge with regularized (κ)-distributed electron-ion

This paper presents a novel viewpoint on nonlinear dust-acoustic waves (DAWs) in an unmagnetized collisionless plasma containing regularized [Formula: see text] distributed electrons and ions (ei) and negative dust grain. The nonlinear oscillatory system based on hybridization of the Van der Pol–Mathieu equation (VdPME) is derived by a new technique. By bifurcation analysis of the planar dynamical system (DS), the effects of parameters with the assistance of phase planes and time series of VdPME are studied. After analyzing the equation to identify the resonance region, a fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is used to solve it numerically. We explained the behavior of DA periodic, stable limit cycle, and chaotic limit cycle wave solutions with different parameters. These types of numerical solutions are illustrated in two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics by changing the rate at which charged dust grain is produced [Formula: see text], as well as waste [Formula: see text] and comparing the results with those of earlier research. A novel bifurcation analysis of VdPE and VdPME is obtained with the effects of the cut-off factor [Formula: see text] of regularized [Formula: see text]-distribution (RKD) distributed ei, the superthermality of ei particles [Formula: see text], the ratio of ion to electron temperature [Formula: see text], and the ratio of dust to electron density [Formula: see text] illustrated. It is noticed that the DAW shows promotion in width and amplitude as the frequency [Formula: see text] increases and it becomes rarefaction as the cut-off parameter [Formula: see text] increases. On the contrary, it becomes compressive under the impact of superthermality [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The obtained conclusions may help explain and comprehend a variety of applications in experimental plasma containing highly energy regularized [Formula: see text] dispersed ei, as well as in the interstellar medium.

Nonlinear Ion Acoustic Waves in Multicomponent Plasmas with Nonthermal Electrons-positron and Bipolar Ions

Abstract This paper studied the propagating characteristics of (2+1) dimensional nonlinear ion acoustic waves in a multicomponent plasma with nonthermal electrons, positrons and bipolar ions. The dispersion relations are initially explored by using the small amplitude wave's dispersion relation. Then, the Sagdeev potential method is employed to study large amplitude ion acoustic waves. The analysis involves examining the system's phase diagram, Sagdeev potential function, and solitary wave solutions through numerical solution of an analytical process in order to investigate the propagation properties of nonlinear ion acoustic waves under various parameters. It is found that the propagation of nonlinear ion acoustic waves is subject to the influence of various physical parameters, including the ratio of number densities between the unperturbed positrons, electrons to positive ions, nonthermal parameters, the masses ratio of positive ions to negative ions, and the charge numbers ratio of negative ions to positive ions, the ratio of the electrons’ temperature to positrons’ temperature. In addition, the multicomponent plasma system has a compressive solitary waves with amplitude greater than zero or a rarefactive solitary waves with amplitude less than zero, in the meantime, compressive and rarefactive ion acoustic wave characteristics depend on the charge numbers ratio of negative ions to positive ions.

Non-Linear Plasma Wave Dynamics: Investigating Chaos in Dynamical Systems

This work addresses the significant issue of plasma waves interacting with non-linear dynamical systems in both perturbed and unperturbed states, as modeled by the generalized Whitham–Broer–Kaup–Boussinesq–Kupershmidt (WBK-BK) Equations. We investigate analytical solutions and the subsequent emergence of chaos within these systems. Initially, we apply advanced mathematical techniques, including the transform method and the G′G2 method. These methods allow us to derive new precise solutions and enhance our understanding of the non-linear processes dominating plasma wave dynamics. Through a systematic analysis, we identify the conditions under which the system transitions from orderly patterns to chaotic behavior. This investigation provides valuable insights into the fundamental mechanisms of non-linear wave propagation in plasmas. Our results highlight the dynamic interplay between non-linearity and variation, leading to chaos, which may be useful in predicting and potentially controlling similar phenomena in practical applications.

Role of Cairns–Gurevich ion distribution on nonlinear wave propagation in negatively charged dusty plasma

The study of dust-acoustic (DA) nonlinear electrostatic waves in dusty plasma is crucial for understanding plasma behavior in both astrophysical and laboratory environments. Dusty plasmas, characterized by the presence of negatively charged dust particles, exhibit complex dynamics influenced by various factors, including nonthermal electron and ion populations following Cairns–Gurevich distributions. This study addresses the problem of understanding wave propagation under these specific conditions by employing a set of fluid hydrodynamic equations for dust fluid, alongside appropriate electron and Cairns–Gurevich ion distributions, to model the dynamics and propagation of DA nonlinear electrostatic waves under specific plasma conditions with negatively charged dust particles. We derived a nonlinear Zakharov–Kuznetsov (ZK) equation to model the evolution of these waves and further transformed it into the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation to analyze rogue wave formation and identify unstable and stable zones within the plasma. We focused our analysis on the effects of key parameters, such as the nonthermal index, magnetic field strength, negative dust temperature ratio, polarization force, and density ratio, on the behavior of dust-acoustic waves (DAWs). The results demonstrated that soliton waves, explosive waves, and kink waves exhibit distinct behaviors depending on these parameters and the spatial context of Earth's magnetosphere. These findings provide new insights compared to previous studies into the conditions under which these waveforms emerge and evolve, especially in magnetized environments where earlier models were less effective at accurately characterizing or predicting wave behavior. By applying two different analytical methods, a direct integration approach and a generalized Kudryashov method, we expanded our understanding of nonlinear wave phenomena in dusty plasmas. Our results not only advance theoretical knowledge but also have practical implications for interpreting space plasma observations and guiding experimental design in plasma physics research. This study thus contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of plasma dynamics, with potential applications to astrophysical observation and laboratory plasma experimentation.

Painlevé analysis and Hirota direct method for analyzing three novel physical fluid extended KP, Boussinesq, and KP-Boussinesq equations: Multi-solitons/shocks and lumps

Due to the extensive and diverse connections of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation with various physical phenomena, such as the propagation of waves in sea and ocean water and the propagation of nonlinear waves in plasmas when two-dimensional perturbations are considered, thus in this study and based on the original KP equation, we construct and investigate three extended models, which are called the extended KP (eKP) equation, the extended Boussinesq (eBO) equation, and the extended KP-Boussinesq (eKP-BO) equation. These equations are commonly observed in many physical contexts involving nonlinear and dissipative media. Our research begins with thoroughly verifying the complete integrability of the three extended models. Once this crucial step is accomplished, we will examine these three extended models using the simplified Hirota approach (SHA), leading us to derive multiple soliton/shock solutions. Furthermore, the Hirota bilinear form of each model will be employed to derive a set of lump solutions for these three extended models, utilizing different parameter values. We also analyze some derived solutions graphically by presenting some two- and three-dimensional graphics to understand the dynamic behavior of the waves described by these solutions. The obtained results are anticipated to benefit a broad spectrum of academics interested in studying fluid mechanics, water wave characterization, and other interdisciplinary domains. Additionally, these models are anticipated to be essential in describing and understanding the dynamics of several nonlinear phenomena that arise and propagate in different plasma systems when perturbations are considered in multidimensions.

The exact solutions to the generalized (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation

Due to the importance of the nonlinear partial differential equations in applied physics and engineering, many mathematicians and physicists are interesting to the nonlinear partial differential equations. One of the main tasks of studying the nonlinear partial differential equations is to obtain the exact solutions for the nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper, we study the exact solutions of a generalized (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equation. According to the modified hyperbolic function method and the traveling transformation method, the generalized (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equation is changed into an ordinary differential equation. By taking the homogeneous balance between the highest order nonlinear terms and the highest order derivative terms, we change the differential equation into an algebraic system. By solving the algebraic system, we obtain the solutions for the nonlinear partial differential equation. At last, some solutions and their figures are given by specific parameters. All the solutions conclude the trigonometric function solutions, the positive hyperbolic function solutions, and the hyperbolic trigonometric function solutions. These solutions exhibit the dynamics of nonlinear waves and the solutions are useful for the study on interaction behavior of nonlinear waves in shallow water, plasma, nonlinear optics and Bose–Einstein condensates.

On the dynamics of soliton interactions in the stellar environments

The effects of trapping of relativistically degenerate electrons are studied on the formation and interaction of nonlinear ion-acoustic solitary waves (IASWs) in quantum plasmas. These plasmas are detected in high-density astrophysical entities and can be created in the laboratory by interacting powerful lasers with matter. The formula for the number density of electrons in a state of relativistic degeneracy is provided, along with an analysis of the non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic scenarios. While previous studies have delved into specific aspects of relativistic effects, there needs to be a more detailed and systematic examination of the fully relativistic limit, which is essential for gaining a holistic perspective on the behavior of solitons in these extreme conditions. The aim of this work is to comprehensively investigate the fully relativistic limit of the system to fill this gap. The reductive perturbation technique is utilized to deduce the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, which is used to analyze the properties of the IASWs. Hirota bilinear formalism is applied to obtain single- and multi-soliton solutions for the KdV equation. The numerical analysis is focused on the plasma properties of the white dwarf in the ongoing investigation. The amplitude of the IASWs is found to be maximum for the non-relativistic, intermediate for the ultra-relativistic, and minimum for the fully relativistic limit. Most importantly, it is found that the fastest interaction occurs in the non-relativistic limit and the slowest in the fully relativistic limit.

Propagation characteristics of nonlinear dust acoustic solitary waves in complex plasma with nonthermal electrons and trapped ions

The propagation characteristics of nonlinear dust acoustic solitary waves in a complex plasma system with nonthermal electrons and trapped ions are investigate in this work. The nonlinear dispersion relation of dust acoustic waves is obtained by using the linear method, and the two-dimensional autonomous system governing the motion of nonlinear dust acoustic waves is derived by using the Sagdeev potential method. At the same time, the specific expression of the Sagdeev potential function is obtained based on the Sagdeev potential equation. The numerical simulations are used to analyze the phase portraits of the two-dimensional autonomous system, revealing the linear periodic wave orbits, nonlinear periodic wave orbits, and homoclinic orbits co-existing in the complex dusty plasma system with nonthermal electrons and trapped ions. Furthermore, from the variations of the Sagdeev potential function with different system parameters it follows that only the compressive solitary waves exist in this complex plasma system. The significant influences of various system parameters on the amplitude, width, and waveform of the nonlinear dust acoustic solitary wave in the complex plasma system are discussed in detail. The results demonstrate that the Mach number, the nonthermal electrons and trapped ions, undisturbed dust particle number density, temperature, and charge have important effects on the propagating characteristics of the nonlinear dust acoustic solitary waves in a complex plasma with nonthermal electrons and trapped ions.

Nonlinear propagation of dust-acoustic waves and its modulation instability

Investigation the nonlinear dust-acoustic waves in a complex plasma in Titan’s ionosphere sets to become a vital factor in understanding different wave profiles in such space plasma. As for dust on Titan, there is evidence that suggests the Moon has a dusty surface. The Cassini spacecraft, which explored Saturn and its moons, detected bright spots on Titan’s surface that could be the result of dust or ice particles reflecting sunlight. Based on the above finding, a convenient mathematical model is considered and an appropriate evolution equation (Korteweg–de Vries-Burgers KdVB equation) is derived. At low wavenumber, the KdVB equation is transformed to a complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation that describes the propagation of the wave packet in the system, which is an efficient tool for studying rogue waves in space plasmas. Different plasma parameters are examined on the propagating waves in Titan’s ionosphere.

Low-frequency nonlinear ion-acoustic cnoidal waves in a superthermal plasma with a monoenergetic electron beam

This study analyzes the behavior of nonlinear electrostatic ion-acoustic cnoidal waves (IACWs) in a magnetoplasma characterized by two distinct temperatures of superthermal electrons and a monoenergetic electron beam. For this purpose and based on fluid theory, the reductive perturbation technique is applied to reduce the basic equations to a third-order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Under certain conditions, the KdV equation can be used for modeling symmetric CWs; when these conditions are not met, it is replaced by a Kawahara equation to describe these waves correctly. The symmetric IACWs features are examined in detail to determine the effect of pertinent plasma parameters. This study may help model nonlinear structures in astrophysical and space plasmas and understand the mechanism of CWs in the plasma sheath region.
