Abstract
A linear dispersion relation for electrostatic dust-acoustic waves has been derived, taking into account the dynamics of neutral atoms in we akly ionized dusty plasmas. Explicit expressions for the temporal and spatial attenuation rates of dust-acoustic waves due to collisions of ions and dust grains with neutral atoms are presented.
