Abstract

The contribution of higher-order nonlinearity to nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a weakly relativistic plasma consisting of a warm ion fluid and hot non- isothermal electrons is studied using reductive perturbation theory. At the lowest order of the perturbation theory a modified Korteweg–de Vries equation is obtained. At the next order a linear inhomogeneous equation is obtained. The stationary solution of the coupled equations is obtained using the renormalization method introduced by Kodama and Taniuti for reductive perturbation theory.
