We investigate the structure of the spatially periodic inner boundary layers in the plasma of a positive glow-discharge column produced in a long cylindrical tube with an electropositive gas inside. Asymptotic methods, namely, the method of boundary functions, are used to analyze the initial mathematical model. We consider the formation of contrast burst-type structures. We have found all principal terms of the boundary-layer asymptotics of the solution. The results obtained are compared with the available probe measurements of basic physical parameters of ionization waves (strata) in neon at low pressures.
