Abstract

The propagation of linear and nonlinear electrostatic waves in an electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasma is studied, from first principles. The parametric effect of the relative concentration and temperature of the positron component is investigated. Earlier results are thus recovered, and in fact extended, by our analysis.
