Abstract

The stability of localized solitary wave solutions of simultaneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations describing different types of interacting waves in a plasma has been investigated. It is found that the stability depends on the nature and strength of the interaction potential between the two waves. The possible results of interactions between two colliding solitary waves have been discussed using the conservation laws.
