A new mathematical approach for finding the solitary waves in dusty plasma

In a sequel to a recent work [Das, Sarma, and Talukdar, Phys. Plasmas 5, 63 (1998)], the different nonlinear plasma-acoustic waves, based on the fluid approximation, have been derived showing the coexistences of dust-acoustic waves in plasmas contaminated by dust-charged grains. The features of the nonlinear waves, depending on the plasma composition, describe various natures of solitary waves. A new formalism, known as the tanh method and stemming from the modified simple wave solution technique, has been developed for finding the soliton propagation in the nonlinear plasma wave dynamics. The method is straightforward, with minimal mathematical manipulation, finding the heuristic formation and propagation of ion-acoustic solitary waves in the dusty plasma. The main aim is, based on the tanh method, to revisit the results in a simpler case and extending them to explain the behavior of higher-order nonlinear waves derived in generalized multicomponent plasmas. The theoretical observations highlight the salient features of nonlinear waves coexisting with the dust-acoustic wave. The new findings might expect the effect, because of the dust-charged grains, to be the common feature of nonlinear waves in the dusty plasmas, and could be of interest for future experiments in laboratory as well as in space plasmas.In a sequel to a recent work [Das, Sarma, and Talukdar, Phys.
