Dynamical systems and nonlinear waves in plasmas This book provides clear ideas on dynamical systems and waves in plasmas. It also presents derivation of different nonlinear evolution equations describing nonlinear plasma waves (ion acoustic dust acoustic dust ion acoustic electron acoustic) through a perturbative approach. It demonstrates bifurcation behavior of nonlinear and supernonlinear waves characterized by trivial and nontrivial topologies of their phase portraits for the corresponding dynamical systems. Chaotic and hyperchaotic behaviors of various plasma waves are presented in presence or absence of external periodic force. It also provides real applications to NLSE and laser plasma interaction Dynamical systems Waves in plasmas Bifurcation of small amplitude waves in plasmas Bifurcation of arbitrary amplitude waves in plasmas Bifurcation analysis of supernonlinear waves Chaos multistability and stable oscillation in plasmas.
