Abstract
We investigate the possibility for dust ion-acoustic solitons to exist. Compressive solitonlike perturbations are damped and slowed down, mainly due to the plasma absorption and ion scattering on microparticles. The perturbations are shown to possess the main properties of solitons. There is a principal possibility to study experimentally the role of trapped electrons in the soliton formation.Keywords
