   The nonlinear propagation of dust-acoustic (DA) solitary waves in three-component unmagnetized dusty plasma consisting of Maxwellian electrons, vortex-like (trapped) ions, and arbitrarily charged cold mobile dust grain has been investigated. It has been found that, owing to the departure from the Maxwellian ions distribution to a vortex-like one, the dynamics of small but finite amplitude DA waves is governed by a nonlinear equation of modified Korteweg-de Vries (mK-dV) type instead of K-dV. The reductive perturbation method has been employed to study the basic features (phase speed, amplitude, width, etc.) of DA solitary waves which are significantly modified by the presence of trapped ions. The implications of our results in space and laboratory plasmas are briefly discussed.

Introduction</title><p>It is well known from computer simulations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref1">1</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref3">3</xref>] and experiments [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref5">5</xref>] that plasmas, which are strongly excited by means of the injection of particle beams, are often found to evolve toward a coherent trapped particle state, instead of developing into a turbulent one. The nonlinear behavior of electrostatic waves in a plasma with this trapped state [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref6">6</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref8">8</xref>] has received considerable attention and been studied by a number of authors in the last few years [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref6">6</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref11">11</xref>] . To the best knowledge of the authors, most of these studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref6">6</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref11">11</xref>] describe the electroacoustic or dust-ion-acoustic waves with static dust particles either negatively or positively charged. But in the case of laboratory experiments and space plasmas we have found both polarities (positive as well as negative charged) of dust particles at the same time. In dust-ion-acoustic waves, ion mass provide the inertia and the restoring force is provided by the pressure of the inertia less electrons. It is possible to move the dust particles with ion. However, Rao et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref12">12</xref>] first theoretically predicted the existence of dust-acoustic waves (DAWs), in which the inertia is provided by the dust particle mass and the restoring force is provided by the pressures of the inertia less electrons and ions. This pioneering work of Rao et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref12">12</xref>] initiated a number of laboratory experiments [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref13">13</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref15">15</xref>] , where DAWs are observed even with naked eyes because of their appearance on a very long time scale and a large number of theoretical investigations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref11">11</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref16">16</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref23">23</xref>] , which provide different linear and nonlinear features of the DAWs in an unmagnetized weakly coupled dusty plasma. Rao et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref12">12</xref>] have studied the DA solitary waves in unmagnetized dusty plasma with cold mobile dust particles by using the reductive perturbation method. Motivated by the experimental observations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref13">13</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref15">15</xref>] of such low phase velocity DA waves, Mamun et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref23">23</xref>] have investigated nonlinear DA waves in a two component unmagnetized dusty plasma and they have considered negatively charged cold mobile dust fluid and Maxwellian distributed ions. Recently, K. Annou and R. Annou have studied the nonlinear propagation of DA solitary waves [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref24">24</xref>] , they have considered three component unmagnetized dusty plasma consisting inertial charged dust grains, Boltzmannian electrons and non-thermal ions and investigated large-amplitude solitary waves with finite dust temperature incorporating the effect of non-thermal ion distribution by using Sagdeev pseudopotential method [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref24">24</xref>] . Very recently, we have studied the nonlinear propagation of dust-acoustic solitary waves in an unmagnetized three component dusty plasma consisting of Maxwellian ions, vortex-like electron distribution and arbitrarily charged cold mobile dust [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.43535-ref25">25</xref>] . Therefore, in our present work, we have studied the basic properties such as phase speed, amplitude, and width of DA solitary waves containing vortex-like ions, Maxwellian electrons, and arbitrarily charged cold mobile dust grain.</p><p>The manuscript is organized as follows. The basic equations governing the plasma system under consideration are presented in Section 2. The mK-dV equation is derived by employing the reductive perturbation method for trapped ion in Section 3. The solitary wave solution of this mK-dV equation is obtained and the properties of these DA solitary structures are discussed in Section 4. Finally, a brief discussion is presented in Section 5.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

Discussion</title><p>A three component unmagnetized collision less dusty plasma system, consisting of extremely massive, micronsized, arbitrarily charged cold mobile dust grains, Maxwellian electrons, trapped (vortex-like) ions, has been considered and the properties of finite amplitude dust-acoustic potential, which has been found to exist in such a dusty plasma system, have been investigated by the reductive perturbation method. It has been found that the basic features of such DA solitary waves are significantly modified by the presence of trapped ions. It is also found that the DA solitary waves in our dusty plasma model differ from the usual K-dV equation by their polarity, width, speed, and the power of sech. The results, which have been obtained from this investigation, may be pointed out as follows:</p><p>1. Dusty plasma system, whose constituents are arbitrarily charged cold mobile dust grains, Maxwellian electrons, and trapped ions of different constant temperatures, is found to support solitary waves associated with the non-linear DA waves.</p><p>2. The presence of the vortex-like ions distribution, the dynamics of weakly dispersive non-linear DA waves is governed by the mK-dV equation instead of K-dV equation, the stationary solution of which is represented in the form of an inverted secant hyperbolic fourth profile. Thus, the potential polarity of the DA solitary waves in our dusty plasma is different from the usual IA solitary waves in an electron-ion plasma.</p><p>3. The dusty plasma system under consideration supports the DA solitary waves that are associated with negative potential only. The fixed polarity of the potential structures is due to the effect of vortex-like ion distribution.</p><p>4. It has been found that trapped ions are responsible for DA solitary waves which have smaller width, larger amplitude, and higher propagation velocity than that involving Maxwellian ions, and that they can be represented in the form sech<sup>4</sup>(z/∆), instead of sech<sup>2</sup>(z/∆) which is the stationary solution of the standard K-dV equation.</p><p>5. It has been found that as <img src="11-4500238x\3fee8251-6cdd-469e-88a2-03fd55cea347.jpg" /> increases, the amplitude <img src="11-4500238x\a05dc0c1-560a-4c22-b951-4776fb8d37dd.jpg" /> increases while the width ∆ decreases while as <img src="11-4500238x\c8cbf596-6a30-499f-b5e4-7f1f143ce23a.jpg" /> increases, the amplitude decreases for <img src="11-4500238x\8bdf4d27-004a-4776-a0da-acda576b932b.jpg" /> (a vortex-like excavated trapped ion distribution and increases for<img src="11-4500238x\468eb9c9-dcc6-4295-b51a-a601d08f5f47.jpg" />.</p><p>6. The polarity of dust particles has no effect on the nonlinear propagation of DA solitary waves.</p><p>We hope that our present investigation should be helpful in understanding the basic features of localized electrostatic disturbances in space and laboratory devices, in which arbitrarily charged dust particulates, free electrons, and ions with trapped particles are the plasma species. The present work can also provide a guideline for interpreting the most numerical simulation results, which exhibit the simultaneous presence of non-thermal ion distributions and associated DA localized wave packets.</p></sec></body><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="scirp.43535-ref1"><label>1</label><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xlink:type="simple">Roberts, K.V. and Berk, H.L.
