Abstract
The combined effects of ion temperature and higher order corrections on ion-acoustic solitary waves are studied on the basis of the reductive perturbation method. The basic set of fluid equations for warm-ion fluid are reduced to the renormalized warm-ion Korteweg – de Vries equation for the first-order perturbed potential and a renormalized linear inhomogeneous equation for the second-order perturbed potential. Stationary solutions of the coupled equations are obtained, and the velocity and width of solitons calculated are in agreement with the experimental observation.
