Abstract:In this letter the propagation of whistler waves in a collisionless plasma has been investigated. The reductive perturbation method is used to analyse the governing equations. It is shown that the resulting equation has a one soliton solution and the evolution equation is unstable in the low wave number regime.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
