Abstract
The effect of dust charging and influence of its fluctuation on dust-acoust ic shock waves in the sheath region of the dusty plasma is investigated. By employing the reductive perturbation technique, the Burgers' equation is d erived. The weak shock wave solution is obtained and discussed in this dust -charge-fluctuation system.
