Abstract

Stationary nonlinear one-dimensional electrostatic oscillations in a plasma containing dust grains with variable charge are considered through a cold-beam model. The new constraints brought by the presence of dusts on the BGK modes are clarified and the appearance of a soliton mode that was not present in the fixed-charge problem is investigated.
