Propagation of ion-acoustic waves in a multi-component plasma
Abstract
The Kortewege-de Vries equation is derived for a multicomponent plasma including any number of positive and negative ions. The solitary wave solutions are also found explicitly for the case of isothermal and nonisothermal electrons.
