Abstract
The nonlinear propagation of plasma waves along a bounded plasma cylin der is considered, Exact surface and volume wave structures in the rad ial and azimuthal directions are included, It is shown that in the sma ll-amplitude limit, mode-mode interactions are described by equations of the Mathieu type, and the space-time evolution of axially propagati ng waves is governed by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation.
