On the propagation and interaction of the low-frequency ion-acoustic multi-solitons in a magnetoplasma having nonextensive electrons using Hirota bilinear method by Aljawhara H Almuqrin, Delmas V Douanla, Camus GL Tiofack, Alim, Alidou Mohamadou, Sherif ME Ismaeel, Samir A El-Tantawy

“…The reductive perturbation method is utilized to obtain the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation for describing the low-frequency IAWs in proximity to critical values of the pertinent physical variables in the system. At specific essential plasma compositions, the modified KdV (mKdV) equation is derived for the parameter values at which the KdV model fails to analyze the nonlinear dynamics of the low-frequency IAWs adequately. …”
