Structural Requirements for Ion-Acoustic Double Layers: A Parametric Perturbation Analysis of the Maxwellian Limit

Hamdi M. Abdelhamid, Abeer A. Mahmoud, Naoki Sato

Standard Maxwellian plasmas exhibit a mathematical \textit{rigidity}, possessing insufficient degrees of freedom to support electrostatic double layers (DLs) and yielding only soli…
