Langmuir wave dynamics and plasma instabilities: Insights from generalized coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Abstract

This study aims to tackle the generalized coupled nonlinear Schrödinger ([Formula: see text] – [Formula: see text]) equations, with a focus on understanding their physical significance and stability, especially in the realm of plasma physics. These equations are crucial for grasping the complex dynamics of wave interactions within plasma systems, which are fundamental for phenomena like wave-particle interactions, turbulence, and magnetic confinement. We employ analytical methods such as the generalized rational ([Formula: see text]at) and Khater II ([Formula: see text]hat.II) techniques, along with characterizing the system using Hamiltonian principles, to carefully examine the stability of solutions. The relevance of this model extends across various plasma phenomena, including electromagnetic wave propagation, Langmuir wave dynamics, and plasma instabilities. By applying these analytical techniques, we derive solutions and investigate their stability using Hamiltonian dynamics, providing valuable insights into the fundamental behavior of nonlinear plasma waves. Our findings reveal the existence of stable solutions under specific conditions, thus advancing our understanding of plasma dynamics significantly. This research carries significant implications for fields such as plasma physics, astrophysics, and fusion research, where a deep understanding of plasma wave stability and dynamics is crucial. Essentially, our study represents a scholarly effort to offer fresh perspectives on the behavior of [Formula: see text] – [Formula: see text] equations within plasma systems, contributing to the academic discourse on plasma wave phenomena.
