Abstract
The properties of cylindrical and spherical dust acoustic (DA) solitary and shock waves in an unmagnetized electron depleted dusty plasma consisting of inertial dust fluid and ions featuring Tsallis statistics are investigated by employing the reductive perturbation technique. A Korteweg-de Vries Burgers (KdVB) equation is derived and its numerical solution is obtained. The effects of ion nonextensivity and dust kinematic viscosity on the basic features of DA solitary and shock waves are discussed in nonplanar geometry. It is found that nonextensive nonplanar DA waves behave quite differently from their one-dimensional planar counterpart.

Mathematical view with observational/experimental consideration on certain (2+1)-dimensional waves in the cosmic/laboratory dusty plasmas

TL;DR: Symbolic computation on an observationally/experimentally-supported (2+1)-dimensional generalized variable-coefficient Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-Burgers-type equation is done, for certain dusty plasmas, relying on such plasma coefficient functions as the nonlinearity, dispersion, dusty-fluid-viscosity-dissipation, geometric-effect and diffraction/transverse-perturbation coefficients.

Possible generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized form of entropy was proposed for the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics with the q→1 limit, and the main properties associated with this entropy were established, particularly those corresponding to the microcanonical and canonical ensembles.

Dust -acoustic waves in dusty plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, a balance of dust particle inertia and plasma pressure is investigated and it is shown that these waves can propagate linearly as a normal mode in a dusty plasma, and non-linearly as supersonic solitons of either positive or negative electrostatic potential.
