We study the effects of the gain and the loss of polaritons on the wave propagation in polariton condensates. This system is described by a modified Gross–Pitaevskii equation. In the case of small damping, we use the reductive perturbation method to transform this equation; we get a modified Burgers equation in the dispersionless limit and a damped Korteweg – de Vries equation in a more general case. We demonstrate that the shock wave occurrence depends on the gain and the loss of polaritons in the dispersionless polariton condensate. The resolution of the damped Korteweg – de Vries equation shows that the soliton behaves like a damped wave in the case of a constant damping. Based on an asymptotic solution, the survival time and the distance traveled by this soliton are evaluated. We solve the damped Korteweg – de Vries equation and the modified Gross–Pitaevskii numerically to validate the analytical calculations and discuss especially the soliton propagation in the system.

The combined effects of negative ions and higher-order nonlinearity on ionacoustic solitons are studied using the reductive perturbation method. The basic set of fluid equations for a plasma consisting of negative cold ions, positive cold ions and hot electrons (non-isothermal and isothermal) reduces to the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation and the Korteweg-de Vries equation for the first-order potential, and to the linear inhomogeneous equation for the second-order potential. Stationary solutions of the coupled equations are obtained in the case of negative ions, retaining terms up to the third order in the usual reductive perturbation method.

AbstractIn the present research paper, the characteristics of dust-acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) and double layers (DLs) are studied. Ions are treated as non-thermal and variable dust charge is considered. The Korteweg–de Vries equation is derived using a reductive perturbation method. It is noticed that compressive solitons are obtained up to a certain range of relative density δ (=ni0/ne0) beyond which rarefactive solitons are observed. The study is further extended to investigate the possibility of DLs. Only compressive DLs are permissible. Both DASWs and DLs are sensitive to variation of the non-thermal parameter.

Abstract In this work, we are concerned with the ion acoustic quasi-soliton in an electron-positron-ion plasma with superthermal electrons and positrons. By using the reductive perturbation method, the Korteweg-de Vries equation is derived from the governing equations of ion acoustic waves. An interesting soliton-cnoidal wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation and its quasi-soliton behaviour are presented. The influence of electron superthermality, positron superthermality and positron concentration ratio on characteristics of the quasi-soliton is confirmed to be significant.

In this paper, the nonlinear analysis is conducted for the car-following model with the consideration of the anticipation effect in single line, which was proposed by Peng guanghan. We study the nonlinear characteristics of the model by applying the reductive perturbation method, and drive the Burgers equation, the Korteweg-de-Vries (KDV) equation and the modified Korteweg-de-Vries (MKDV) equation respectively. We find that the above nonlinear equations for this model are identical with those equations for the Full velocity difference model.

Abstract This paper offers a shock wave solution to modified Zakharov–Kuznetsov (MZK) Burgers equation in inhomogeneous dusty plasmas with external magnetic field. For this purpose, the fluid equations are reduced to an MZK Burgers equation containing variable coefficients by reductive perturbation method. With the aid of travelling-wave transformation technique, we obtain the analytical oscillatory shock wave solution and monotonic shock wave solution for MZK Burgers equation. The effects of inhomogeneity, external magnetic field, dust charge variation on characteristics of two types of shock waves are examined in detail.
