Abstract

Despite extensive theoretical investigation of the problem of ion-acoustic solitary waves in an inhomogeneous plasma, a fully satisfactory account has so far not been given. This paper provides a critical account of the shortcomings of the previous theoretical approaches and then describes a fully self-consistent treatment of the problem.
