An Explicit Solution for Nonlinear Plasma Waves of Arbitrary Amplitude

arXiv:physics/9809011

Abstract

Based on the known implicit solution for nonlinear plasma waves, an explicit solution was obtained in the form of decomposition into harmonics. The solution obtained exhibits a mechanism for steepening of nonlinear plasma wave as a result of increasing contribution of harmonics and may be used in theoretical studies of processes involving nonlinear plasma waves.
