Abstract
A dusty plasma crystalline configuration with equal charge dust grains and mass is considered. Both charge and mass of each dust species are taken to be constant. Two differential equations for a two-dimensional hexagonal crystal on the basis of a Yukawa-type potential energy and a "dressed" potential energy, accounting for dust charge polarization, are derived and compared. The dispersion relation for both longitudinal and transverse wave propagation in an arbitrary direction is derived. A comparison to analytical and experimental results reported previously is carried out.
