Abstract
Using kinetic theory and the reductive perturbation technique, a Korte weg-de Vries (KDV) equation is derived for small, but finite, amplitud e dust-acoustic waves in a dusty plasma consisting of electrons, ions and charged dust particles. The analogous equation from the basic set of fluid equations is also derived. Differences between the correspond ing stationary solutions are discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
