Small-amplitude electrostatic solitary waves in a dusty plasma with variable charge resonant trapped dust particles

Abstract

AbstractSmall-amplitude electrostatic solitary waves are investigated in unmagnetized dusty plasmas with variable charge resonant trapped dust particles. It is found that under certain conditions spatially localized structures, the height and nature of which depend sensitively on the plasma parameters, can exist. The effects of dust grain temperature, equilibrium dust charge, trapping parameter, and dust size on the properties of these solitary waves are briefly discussed. A neural network with a given architecture and learning process, and which may be useful to interpret experimental data, is outlined. Our investigation may be taken as a prerequisite for the understanding of the solitary dust waves that may occur in space as well as in laboratory plasmas.
