Abstract
A general symbolic formalism for economically handling quadratically n onlinear systems is demonstrated by way of application to weakly nonli near electron plasma waves in the S-harmonic approximation. For the fi rst time, it is shown that the nonlinear corrections depend on a certa in additional assumption (constant velocity or constant current), and a symbolic formulation of boundary conditions is proposed. Further app lications, such as to fusion plasmas, are envisaged.
