The Multidimensional Solitons in a Plasma: Structure Stability and Dynamics

Abstract

The formation, structure, stability and dynamics of multidimensional nonlinear waves and solitons in a plasma with v = -(zx(vector differential operator)psi)/B and BETA>1 are studied. To study the stability of multidimensional solitons, the variation problem of the Hamiltonian bounding with respect to deformations conserving momentum is used. To study evolution of solitons and their collision dynamics the equations are integrated numerically. It was obtained that in both cases the formation of multidimensional solitons can be observed. It is found that the soliton elastic collisions can lead to formation of complex structures including the multisoliton bound states.
