摘要
A precise theoretical investigation has been made on the cylindrical and spherical （nonplanar） Gardner solitons （GSs） and double layers （DLs） in a dusty electronegative plasma （composed of inertial positive and negative ions, Maxwellian cold electrons, non-thermal hot electrons, and negatively charged static dust）. The reductive perturbation method has been used in derivation of the modified Gardner （MG） equation describing the nonlinear propagation of the dust ion-acoustic （DIA） waves. The MG equation admits solitary waves （SWs） and DLs solutions for σ around its critical value σ c （where σc is the value of σ corresponding to the vanishing of the nonlinear coefficient of the Korteweg de-Vries （K-dV） equation）. The nonplanar SWs and DLs solutions are numerically analyzed and the parametric regimes for the existence of the positive as well as negative SWs and negative DLs are obtained. The basic features of nonplanar DIA SWs and DLs, which are found to be different from planar ones, are also identified. The implications of our results to different space and laboratory dusty plasma situations, are discussed.
