摘要
In this paper, （2＋1）-dimensional electron acoustic waves （EAW） in an unmagnetized collisionless plasma have been studied by the linearized method and the reductive perturbation technique, respectively. The dispersion relation and a modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili （KP） equation have been obtained for the EAW in the plasma considering a cold electron fluid and a vortex-like hot electrons. It is found from some numerical results that the parameter β（the ratio of the free hot electron temperature to the hot trapped electron temperature） effects on the amplitude and the Width of the electron acoustic solitary waves （EASW）. It can be indicated that the free hot electron temperature and the hot trapped electron temperature have very important effect on the characters of the propagation for the EASW.
