Solitons and weakly nonlinear waves in plasmas

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci.; (United States)
Theoretical descriptions of solitons and weakly nonlinear waves propagating in plasma media are reviewed, with particular attention to the Korteweg-de Vries (KDV) equation and the Nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS). The modifications of these basic equations due to the effects of resonant particles and external magnetic fields are discussed.
