Abstract
The effect of nonlinear Landau damping on the long term behaviour of the modulational instability of a monochromatic Langmuir wave has been investigated. The growth or decay of the perturbation amplitude is oscillatory in character. Most of the time the amplitude changes approximately linearly with time. Growth occurs for negative nonlinear frequency shift while it decays when the frequency shift is positive.

A perturbation expansion for the nonlinear Schroedinger equation with application to the influence of nonlinear Landrau damping

TL;DR: In this article, the Bogoliubov-Mitropolsky perturbation method has been applied to the study of perturbations on soliton solutions to the nonlinear Schrodinger equation and compared to those of Karpman and Maslov using the inverse scattering method to those by Ott and Sudan on the KdV equation and to a recent paper by Pereira and Stenflo.

Langmuir turbulence and modulational instability

S. G. Thornhill, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1978 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the dynamics of weak Langmuir turbulence and showed that the number of polynomial conserved densities (p.c.d.) of solitons in a three-dimensions soliton-like structures is a function of the density of the cavitons.

Modulation Instability of Electron Plasma Wave

TL;DR: A modified nonlinear Schrodinger equation obtained on the basis of the reductive perturbation theory is compared with one obtained by Dewar applying the Lagrangian method as mentioned in this paper, and it is shown that the both results agree each other for a special case of the one dimensional electrostatic modes in a collisionless plasma.
