Periodic and localized structures in dusty plasma with Kaniadakis distribution

Abstract

Abstract The propagation of electrostatic dust-ion-acoustic nonlinear periodic waves is investigated in dusty plasma wherein electrons follow Kaniadakis distribution. The Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) equations are derived by employing reductive perturbation method and their cnoidal wave solutions are analysed. The effect of relevant parameters (viz., κ-deformed parameter κ and dust concentration β) on the dynamics of cnoidal structures is discussed. Further it is found that amplitude of compressive cnoidal waves increases with increasing values of β, while reverse effect is observed in case of rarefactive cnoidal structures with rising values of β. Also κ-deformed parameter κ bears no effect on cnoidal waves associated with KdV equation, whereas κ-deformed parameter κ significantly affects the cnoidal waves associated with mKdV equation.
