Using the hydrodynamic equations of positive and negative ions, Boltzmann electron density distribution for degenerate electron pressure, and Poisson equation with stationary dust, a further modified Korteweg–Vries equation is derived for small but finite amplitude dust-ion-acoustic waves. ‘ $$G'/G$$ ’ method is used to obtain a new class of solutions. The effects of physical parameters on astrophysical compact objects, and thus the nonlinear solitary and shock structures are examined corresponding to traveling waves.

Our objective here is to investigate a strongly coupled dusty plasma system with the presence of polarization force (PF). This plasma consists of superthermal electrons, Maxwellian ions, and negatively charged dust grains. The nonlinear propagation of dust-acoustic (DA) waves in such dusty plasma system has been theoretically investigated by employing the reductive perturbation method. The Burgers’ and K-dV equations have been derived to and numerically analyzed. It has been found that the dust-acoustic shock and solitary waves exist associated with a negative potential only, and that the effect of the dust fluid temperature significantly modifies the basic properties (amplitude and width) of such nonlinear waves’ potential structures. We hope that the results of our present investigation should help us in understanding the localized electrostatic disturbances in space and laboratory strongly coupled dusty plasmas with superthermal electrons and polarization force.

A rigorous theoretical investigation is made on the highly nonlinear propagation of electrostatic shock waves in degenerate dense two-fluid plasma with relativistic electrons and inertial ions with the additional negatively charged dust grains. 1-D evolution of electrostatic shock waves is found to exist in such a plasma system employing the reductive perturbation method. It is also found that a highly nonlinear wave can propagate in the system whose profiles are showed with the solution of modified Burgers' equation with the usual one. This is an unique finding among all the theoretical investigations made before whose probable implications are discussed in this investigation. The implications of the results obtained from this unique investigation in space and laboratory experiments are briefly discussed.

A rigorous theoretical investigation has been made on the nonlinear structures, mainly, dust-acoustic (DA) solitary and shock waves propagating in a strongly coupled dusty plasma consisting of strongly coupled correlated positively and negatively charged inertial cold dust fluid, weakly correlated inertialess Maxwellian electron and ion fluids. The presence of arbitrary (negative and positive) charged dust grains in such a plasma system causes the presence opposite potentials (positive and negative) DA solitary and shock structures and significantly modify it’s basic features. The results obtained from this analysis can be employed in understanding the nature of plasma waves both in laboratory and space plasma system.

A theoretical investigation on the nonlinear propagation of ion-acoustic waves in a degenerate dense plasma has been made by employing the reductive perturbation method. The Burger's equation has been derived, and numerically analyzed. The basic features of electrostatic shock structures have been examined. It has been shown that the plasma system under consideration supports the propagation of electrostatic shock structures. The implications of our results (obtained from this investigation) in compact astrophysical objects have been briefly discussed.

Nonlinear propagation of dust-ion-acoustic waves in a degenerate dense plasma (with the constituents being degenerate, for both the limits non-relativistic or ultra-relativistic) have been investigated by the reductive perturbation method. The Korteweg de-Vries (K-dV) equation and Burger’s equation have been derived, and the numerical solutions of those equations have been analyzed to identify the basic features of electrostatic solitary and shock structures that may form in such a degenerate dense plasma. The implications of our results in compact astrophysical objects, particularly, in white dwarfs, have been briefly discussed.

The nonlinear propagation of waves (specially solitary waves) in an ultra-relativistic degenerate dense plasma (containing ultra-relativistic degenerate electrons and positrons, cold, mobile, inertial ions, and negatively charged static dust) have been investigated by the reductive perturbation method. The linear dispersion relation and Korteweg de-Vries equation have been derived whose numerical solutions have been analyzed to identify the basic features of electrostatic solitary structures that may form in such a degenerate dense plasma. The existence of solitary structures has been also verified by employing the pseudo-potential method. The implications of our results in astrophysical compact objects have been briefly discussed.

The nonlinear propagation of the DIA (dust ion-acoustic) waves in multi-ion dense plasma system containing degener- ate electrons, both positive and negative ions, arbitrary charged dust grains has been investigated by employing the reductive perturbation method. The nonlinear waves (solitary and shock waves) have been observed to be formed in case of both positive and negative charged dust grains from the stationary solution of the Korteweg de-Vries (K-dV) equation and Burger’s equation. The fundamental properties of such nonlinear waves have been theoretically analyzed by comparing system potential for both positive and negative dust grains. It has been shown that the basic features of these waves are significantly modified by the positive and negative ions drift speed and polarities of dust grains. The implications of our results in space and laboratory plasmas are briefly discussed.

A theoretical investigation has been made of the nonlinear propagation of ion-acoustic waves associated with a dense plasma system consisting degenerate electron and ion fluids. This fluid model, which is valid for both the non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic limits, has been employed with the reductive perturbation method. The K-dV and modified K-dV (mK-dV) equations have been derived and numerically analyzed. The basic features of solitons have been observed. It has been shown that the plasma system under consideration supports the propagation of solitons (electrostatic solitary structures) obtained from the solutions of K-dV and mK-dV equations. The implications of our results obtained from this investigation in compact astrophysical objects have been briefly discussed.
