Abstract

The effects of nonextensivity and nonthermality of ions of two distinct temperatures on dustacoustic Gardner solitons (DAGSs) in an unmagnetized dusty plasma system are investigated theoretically. The constituents of the dusty plasma under consideration are negatively charged mobile dust fluid, Boltzmann-distributed electrons, and ions of two distinct temperatures following nonextensive (q) and nonthermal distributions, respectively. The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), modified KdV, and Gardner equations are derived by using the reductive perturbation technique, and thereby their characteristic features are compared. It is observed that both the nonextensive and nonthermal ions significantly modify the basic properties and polarities of dust-acoustic solitary waves. The present investigation may be of relevance to space and laboratory dusty plasma systems.
