Dynamical Behavior of Supernonlinear Positron-Acoustic Periodic Waves and Chaos in Nonextensive Electron-Positron-Ion Plasmas

Propagation of nonlinear and supernonlinear positron-acoustic periodic waves is examined in an electron-positron-ion plasma composed of static positive ions, mobile cold positrons, and q-nonextensive electrons and hot positrons. Employing the phase plane theory of planar dynamical systems, all qualitatively different phase portraits that include nonlinear positron-acoustic homoclinic orbit, nonlinear positron-acoustic periodic orbit, supernonlinear positron-acoustic homoclinic orbit, and supernonlinear positron-acoustic periodic orbit are demonstrated subjected to the parameters q, mu(1),mu(2), sigma(1), sigma(2), and V. The nonlinear and supernonlinear positron-acoustic periodic wave solutions are reported for different situations through numerical computations. It is observed that the nonextensive parameter (q) acts as a controlling parameter in the dynamic motion of nonlinear and supernonlinear positron-acoustic periodic waves. The dynamic motions for the positron-acoustic traveling waves with the influence of an extrinsic periodic force are investigated through distinct qualitative approaches, such as phase portrait analysis, sensitivity analysis, time series analysis, and Poincare section. The results of this paper may be applicable in understanding nonlinear, supernonlinear positron-acoustic periodic waves, and their chaotic motion in space plasma environments.
