Abstract
Three-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations of an electrostatic io n wave in the short wave region in a magnetized plasma are derived by means of the reductive perturbation method. It is shown that, in some cases, the evolution equations reduce to the Davey-Stewartson 1 equati ons, which are known to admit solutions with localized structure in hi gher dimension. It is also shown that there is a possibility of collap se of localized structure in the case of wave propagation parallel to a magnetic field.
