Abstract Positron acoustic waves (PAWs) in an unmagnetized electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasma consisting of mobile cold positrons, immobile positive ions, q-nonextensive distributed electrons and hot positrons are studied. The standard reductive perturbation technique (RPT) is applied to derive the Kurteweg-de Vries (KdV) and modified Kurteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equations for PAWs. Variations of the total energy of the conservative systems corresponding to the KdV and mKdV equations are presented. Using numerical simulations, effect of the nonextensive parameter (q), temperature ratio (r) of electrons to hot positrons and speed (U) of the traveling wave are discussed on the positron acoustic solitary wave solutions of the KdV and mKdV equations. Considering an external periodic perturbation, the perturbed dynamical systems corresponding to the KdV and mKdV equations are analyzed by employing phase orbit analysis, Poincare section and Lyapunov exponent. The frequency (x) of the external periodic perturbation plays the role of the switching parameter in chaotic motions of the perturbed PAWs through quasiperiodic route to chaos. This work may be useful to understand the qualitative changes in the dynamics of nonlinear perturbations in auroral acceleration regions. Ó 2017 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction During last few decades, systematized interactions in electron-positron-ion plasmas have received basic importance because of their tremendous applications in space (Popel et al., 1995; Chawla et al., 2013) and laboratory environments (Bulanov et al., 2005; Surko et al., 1989) depending on the fact that such plasmas exist in the polar regions of neutron stars (Michel, 1991), in the core of white dwarfs (Shapiro and Teukolsky, 1983), pulsar magnetosphere (Michel, 1982), in active galactic nuclei (Miller and Wiita, 1987), at the center of our own galaxy (Burns ⇑ Corresponding author.

et al., 1983) and in the inner region of accretion disc (Rees, 1971). Recently, a great deal attention has been paid toward the different features of the e-p-i plasmas (Verga and Fontan, 1984; Shukla et al., 1986; Rizzato, 1988; Tajima and Taniuti, 1990; Jammalamadaka et al., 1996; Nejoh, 1996; Rufai et al., 2015; Lakhina and Verheest, 1997; El-Taibany et al., 2008; Verheest et al., 2005; Tribeche et al., 2009; Pakzad, 2009; Mahmood and Ur-Rehman, 2009; Tribeche, 2010; El-Shamy and El-Bedwehy, 2010; Alinejad, 2010; El-Bedwehy and Moslem, 2011). Popel et al. (1995) observed that the presence of positron reduces the soliton amplitude for the ion acoustic solitons in a three component e-p-i plasma. Nejoh (1996) studied the nonlinear wave structures of large amplitude positron acoustic waves in an electron-positron plasma with an electron beam. Rufai et al. (2015)

investigated arbitrary amplitude nonlinear low frequency electrostatic structures in magnetized four component auroral plasmas composed of a cold singly charged oxygen-ion fluid, Boltzmann distribution of hot protons and two distinct group of electron species. Recently, El-Shamy and El-Bedwehy (2010) found that the inclusion of the background ions leads to a modification of the nonlinear characteristics of electrostatic solitary waves in e-p-i plasmas. Some authors (Verheest et al., 2005; Tribeche et al., 2009) reported that due to outflows of electronpositron plasmas from pulsars entering an interstellar cold, low density electron-ion plasma, may form two temperature positron electron ion plasma. Accordingly, Tribeche et al. (2009) studied nonlinear small amplitude PASWs involving the dynamics of cold positrons in a four component e-p-i plasma model containing two-temperature positron, isothermal electrons and immobile ions. Furthermore, Tribeche (2010) investigated the small amplitude positron double layer for the same model (Tribeche et al., 2009). Sahu (2010) investigated the PA shock waves in both planar and nonplanar geometries considering the same plasma model (Tribeche, 2010). Rahman et al. (2014) performed a theoretical investigation on positron-acoustic (PA) Gardner solitons (GSs) and double layers (DLs) in four-component plasma system consisting of immobile positive ions, mobile cold positrons, nonthermal hot positrons, and nonthermal electrons. Recently, ion acoustic solitary waves and periodic waves (Saha and Chatterjee, 2014a,b) in unmagnetized plasmas with non-Maxwellian electrons and positrons were investigated through a nonperturbative approach. Recently, Rufai et al. (2015) studied the effect of excess superthermal electrons on finite amplitude nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a magnetized auroral plasma and observed the evolution of negative potential solitons and supersolitons at subsonic Mach numbers region. It has been reported that several spacecraft missions observed the electrostatic solitary structures in the auroral acceleration region (Temerin et al., 1982; Bostrom et al., 1988; Dubouloz et al., 1991; Mozer et al., 1997). Furthermore, Ghosh and Lakhina (2004) considered a four-component magnetized and unmagnetized plasma models consisting of heavy and light mass ions species, governed by the fluid dynamic equations with two temperature electrons using the Sagdeev pseudo-potential technique and they marked out the POLAR satellite observations of solitary waves in the auroral plasmas. Sabry (2009) studied the effect of positron concentration and temperature ratios on the features of the large and small amplitude ion-acoustic solitary waves and double layers in multicomponent plasma whose components were hot positrons, cold fluid ions, and two-electron temperature distributions. Recent FAST satellite measurements in the auroral acceleration region have revealed that the auroral plasmas are characterized by several ion species (Strangeway et al., 1998). Based on the spacecraft observations of nonlinear low frequency electrostatic structures in the auroral region of the Earths magnetosphere, the

measured parameters (Berthomier et al., 1998) were cool electron density and temperature nce ¼ 0:2 cm3 and T ce ¼ 1 eV, hot electron density and temperature nhe ¼ 1:8 cm3 and T he ¼ 26 eV, which gives the effective temperature T eff  7 eV with total electric field amplitude of less than 100 mV/m, width of about 100 m, about 20 ms of pulse duration and 10–50 km/s soliton velocities range respectively. Jilani et al. (2014) studied properties of fully nonlinear electron-acoustic solitary waves in an unmagnetized and collisionless electron-positron-ion plasma and considered cold electron density noc  ð0:1–0:4Þ cm3 , positron density nop  ð1:5–3Þ cm3 , hot electron density noh  ð1:53Þ cm3 , temperature of hot electrons T h  ð200–1000Þ eV, and temperature of positrons T p  ð200–1000Þ eV to satisfy various plasma systems from laboratory level to astrophysical space plasmas. It is important to note that Maxwell distribution is valid for the macroscopic ergodic equilibrium state and it may be inadequate to investigate the long range interactions in unmagnetized collisionless plasma having the nonequilibrium stationary state. This type of state may exist due to a number of physical mechanisms, for example, external force field present in natural space plasma environments, wave-particle interaction, and turbulence. Furthermore, a great deal of attention was paid to nonextensive statistical mechanics based on deviations of the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannan (BGS) entropic measure. A suitable nonextensive generalization of BGS entropy for statistical equilibrium was first recognized by Renyi (1955) and subsequently proposed by Tsallis (1988), suitably extending the standard additivity of the entropies to the nonlinear, nonextensive case where one particular parameter, the entropy index q, characterizes the degree of nonextensivity of the considered system (Amour and Tribeche, 2010; Saha and Chatterjee, 2014a,b, 2015; Pakzad, 2011; Gill et al., 2010) (q ¼ 1 corresponds to the standard, extensive, BGS statistics). This non-additive entropy of Tsallis and the ensuring generalized statistics have been employed successfully in a wide range of phenomena characterized by nonextensivity (Silva et al., 1998; Lima et al., 2000; Du, 2004; Sattin, 2005; Muhoz, 2006; Gougam and Tribeche, 2011). The following evidences suggest that the q-entropy may provide a convenient frame for the analysis of many astrophysical sceneries, such as stellar polytopes, solar neutrino problem, and peculiar velocity distribution of galaxy clusters. Liyan and Du (2008) investigated ion acoustic waves in the plasma with power-law q-distribution in nonextensive statistics. They suggested that Tsallis (1988) statistics is suitable for the system being the non-equilibrium stationary-state with inhomogeneous temperature and containing plentiful supply of the superthermal or low velocity particles. Recently, using bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems, Samanta et al. (2013) investigated bifurcations of nonlinear dust ion acoustic traveling waves in a

magnetized dusty plasma for the first time. Sahu et al. (2012) studied the quasiperiodic behavior in quantum plasmas due to the presence of bohm potential. Saha et al. (2014) reported the dynamic behavior of ion acoustic waves in electron-positron-ion magnetoplasmas with superthermal electrons and positrons. Very recently, Selim et al. (2015) investigated bifurcations of nonlinear ion-acoustic traveling waves in a multicomponent magnetoplasma with superthermal electrons. But, the bifurcations, quasiperiodicity and chaotic behaviors of the positron acoustic waves are not reported in the literature. So, in the present work, our aim is to investigate the variations of the total energy of the conservative systems corresponding to the KdV and mKdV equations, effects of different physical parameters on the solitary wave solutions of the KdV and mKdV equations, and quasiperiodicity and chaotic behaviors of the positron acoustic waves corresponding to the perturbed systems. The organization of the paper is as follows: In Section 2 basic equations are considered and the KdV and mKdV equations are derived. The conservative systems corresponding to the KdV and mKdV equations are presented in Section 3. In Section 4, solitary wave solutions of the KdV and mKdV equations are considered and effects of different parameters are studied on these solutions. The quasiperiodic and chaotic motions of the positron acoustic waves corresponding to the perturbed systems are investigated in Section 5 and Section 6 is kept for conclusion. 2.

In Fig. 1, it is shown that A may be positive or negative depending on different values of q with fixed value of a; b, and r. But, for q ¼ 0:57; a ¼ 1:1; b ¼ 0:3; r ¼ 1:1, the coefficient A of the nonlinear term of Eq. (12) becomes zero, which can provide infinite growth to the amplitude of the traveling wave solutions of Eq. (12). To get the information of the traveling wave solutions around this critical values, the modified KdV equation is derived by considering the higher order coefficients of . To derive the modified KdV equation, the expansions of the dependent variables as Eqs. (8)–(10), together with the following stretched coordinates are considered 4

It can be easily verified that E1 has a local minima at the ; 0 . Therefore, all trajectories sufficiently close to point 2U 2U A ; 0 are closed and hence, it is a center (See Figs. 2–4).

The behavior of the compressive positron acoustic solitary wave profile of Eq. (12) for several values of r is shown in Fig. 6. It is observed that amplitude and width of the solitary wave decrease as r increases. Thus, the positron acoustic solitary wave diminishes as the temperature ratio of electrons to hot positrons is enhanced. Fig. 7 shows the behavior of the rarefactive positron acoustic solitary wave profile of Eq. (12) for several values of the parameter q in the range 1 < q < 0 with same fixed values of the other parameters as Fig. 6. It is observed that the amplitude of the positron acoustic solitary wave decreases rapidly with decrease in q while width of the positron acoustic solitary waves increases with decrease in q. In Fig. 8, the behavior of the compressive positron acoustic solitary wave profile of Eq. (12) for different values of q is presented in the range 0 < q < 1. The amplitude and width of the positron acoustic solitary waves decrease with increase in q. In Fig. 9, the behavior of the compressive positron acoustic solitary wave profile of Eq. (12) for different values of q is presented in the range q > 1. The amplitude and width of the positron acoustic solitary waves decrease with increase in q. It is important to note that if q varies in 1 < q < 0:57 with a ¼ 1:1; b ¼ 0:3; r ¼ 1:1 and U ¼ 0:1, then the KdV Eq. (12) has rarefactive solitary wave solution, where as for 0:57 < q < 1 with same values of other parameters, the KdV Eq. (12) has compressive solitary wave solution. Thus, the parameter q plays a crucial role for the solitary wave solution of the KdV Eq. (12). Fig. 10 shows the behavior of the compressive positron acoustic solitary wave profile of Eq. (12) for several values of the parameter U with some fixed values of the other parameters. It is observed that the amplitude of the

Similarly, in Fig. 3, we depict the graph of the energy function and level contour of the Eq. (16) for q ¼ 0:55 with same value of other parameters as Fig. 2 in the range 0 < q < 1 of the nonextensive parameter q. Furthermore, considering q ¼ 1:1 in the range q > 1 with same value of parameters as Fig. 2, we illustrate the graph of the energy function and level contour of the Eq. (16) in Fig. 4. In Fig. 5, we present the graph of the energy function and level contour of the Eq. (17) for q ¼ 0:4836; a ¼ 0:5; b ¼ 0:05; r ¼ 0:5; U ¼ 0:1. 4.

positron acoustic solitary wave increases rapidly with increase in U while width of the positron acoustic solitary waves decreases with increase in U. In Fig. 11, the variation of positron acoustic compressive and rarefactive solitary wave profiles of Eq. (15) is presented for different values of r ¼ 0:5 (dashed red curve), r ¼ 0:6 (black curve), and r ¼ 0:7 (dotted blue curve) with b ¼ 0:35; q ¼ 0:4836; a ¼ 0:5 and U ¼ 0:1. The amplitude and width of the positron acoustic compressive and rarefactive solitary waves decrease with increase in r. Thus, the positron acoustic compressive and rarefactive solitary waves diminish as the parameter r is enhanced. In Fig. 12, the variation of positron acoustic compressive and rarefactive solitary wave profiles of Eq. (15) is presented for different values of q = 0.4836 (dashed red curve),

q = 0.5836 (black curve), and q = 0.6836 (dotted blue curve) with r ¼ 0:5 and other parameters are same as Fig. 11. The amplitude and width of the positron acoustic compressive and rarefactive solitary waves decrease with increase in q. Thus, the positron acoustic compressive and rarefactive solitary waves diminish as the parameter q is enhanced. In Fig. 13, the variation of positron acoustic compressive and rarefactive solitary wave profiles of Eq.

The amplitude of the positron acoustic solitary waves increases and width decreases with increase in U. Thus, the positron acoustic solitary wave grows rapidly as speed U of the solitary wave is enhanced in the subsonic

different numerical tools are applied: (i) phase portrait plots, (ii) Poincare section and (iii) Lyapunov exponent. They all are very useful tools to examining quasiperiodic and chaotic features (Lakshmanan and Rajasekar, 2003). The perturbed systems (24) and (25) contain seven independent parameters q; a; r; b; U ; x and f 0 . Because of large number of parameters, it is really difficult to investigate the systems for the complete range of parametric space. To simplify the task, we focus on some special values of the parameters q; a; r; b; U varying the frequency parameter (x) of the external periodic perturbation. Thus, x plays the critical role for the dynamic behavior of the positron acoustic waves. We

5.2. Poincare return map analysis A very useful tool for exploring chaotic attractors is Poincare sections (Lorenz, 1963; Molenaar et al., 2005). Poincare sections provide us with images of the attractor in a ðn  1Þ-dimensional hyperplane of n-dimensional phase space. Thus, the Poincare return map converts problems about closed orbits into problems about fixed points of a mapping. Moreover, by looking at the behavior of the Poincare return map near a fixed point we can deter-

mine the stability of the closed orbit. The Poincare return map of the systems (24) and (25) are shown in Figs. 22–25. A close inspection of Fig. 22 clearly shows that the points are densely populated and lie on a smooth closed curve, which indicates two-frequency oscillation and confirms the existence of quasi-periodic structure of the nonlinear PASWs for the system (24) for the parameter values q ¼ 0:6; a ¼ 1:1; b ¼ 0:3; r ¼ 1:1; U ¼ 0:125; f 0 ¼ 0:2; x ¼ 7:5. Fig. 23 shows that the points are densely populated and lie on a smooth closed curve, which indicates two -frequency oscillation and confirms the existence of quasi-periodic structure of the nonlinear PASWs for the system (24) for the parameter values q ¼ 1:1; a ¼ 1:1; b ¼ 0:3; r ¼ 1:1; U ¼ 0:125; f 0 ¼ 0:2; x ¼ 7:5.

two-frequency oscillation and confirms the existence of quasi-periodic behavior of the nonlinear PASWs for the system (25) with parameter values q ¼ 0:4836; a ¼ 0:5; b ¼ 0:05; r ¼ 0:5; U ¼ 0:1; f 0 ¼ 0:62 and x ¼ 15:77. In return map plot, Fig. 25 demonstrates that the points are densely scattered and exhibit irregular distributions without any known pattern for the system (25) with parameter values q ¼ 0:4836; a ¼ 0:5; b ¼ 0:05; r ¼ 0:5; U ¼ 0:1; f 0 ¼ 0:62 and x ¼ 0:77. Such return maps are characteristics of chaotic oscillations. 5.3. Lyapunov exponents Lyapunov exponents provide a quantitative measure of the divergence or convergence of nearby trajectories for a dynamical system. If we consider a small hypersphere of initial conditions in the phase space, for sufficiently short time scales, the effect of the dynamics will be distort this set into a hyper-ellipsoid, stretched along some directions and contracted along others. The asymptotic rate of expansion of the largest axis, corresponds to the most unstable direction of the flow, is measured by the largest Lyapunov exponent. For a periodic orbit, one of the Lyapunov components is zero. For a quasi-periodic orbit, two of the Lyapunov exponents are zero and others are negative. For chaotic behavior at least one of the Lyapunov exponents must be positive so that neighboring trajectories diverge. When more than one of the Lyapunov exponents are positive, then the motion is referred as hyper-chaos. In Fig. 26, we have presented the dynamics of the Lyapunov exponents of the system (25) for the parameter values q ¼ 0:4836; a ¼ 0:5; b ¼ 0:05; r ¼ 0:5; U ¼ 0:1; f 0 ¼ 0:62; x ¼ 0:77, which confirms the existence of choas in the system (25). 6. Conclusions In this work, we have studied the positron acoustic waves in an unmagnetized e-p-i plasmas whose constituents

are mobile cold positrons, immobile positive ions, q-nonextensive distributed electrons and hot positrons. The standard RPT has been applied to derive the KdV and mKdV equations for PAWs. Variations of the total energy of the conservative systems for the KdV and mKdV equations are presented. Applying numerical computations, effects of physical parameters q; r and U have been presented on the positron acoustic solitary wave solutions of the KdV and mKdV equations. It is observed that when nonextensive particles moves far away from Maxwellian distribution, the positron acoustic solitary waves are flourished. Considering an external periodic perturbation the perturbed dynamical systems corresponding to the KdV and mKdV equations have been analyzed by employing phase orbit analysis, Poincare return map analysis and Lyapunov exponent. The frequency (x) of the external periodic perturbation has played the role of the switching parameter in chaotic motions of the perturbed PAWs through quasiperiodic route to chaos. The results of this study may be applied to understand the qualitative changes in the dynamics of the positron acoustic waves in auroral acceleration regions.
