Bifurcation, quasi‐periodic, chaotic pattern, and soliton solutions for a time‐fractional dynamical system of ion sound and Langmuir waves

Abstract

This paper strives to investigate the time fractional system that characterizes the ion sound wave influenced by the ponderomotive force induced by a high‐frequency field, as well as the Langmuir wave in plasma. Initially, based on the qualitative theory for planar integrable systems, four‐phase portraits are found in the phase plane under certain conditions on the physical parameters. These conditions are used to prove analytically the existence of solitary, kink (anti‐kink), periodic, super‐periodic, and unbounded wave solutions. The correspondence between the energy levels, phase orbits, and consequently the type of the solution is announced. We derived the bounded wave solutions associated with the phase orbits, which are shown to be consistent with the qualitative analysis of the types of solutions. Moreover, we studied the consistency between the obtained solutions by investigating the degeneracy of the solutions through the transmission between the phase orbits, or equivalently, through the dependence on the initial conditions. With the presence of perturbed periodic terms, the quasi‐periodic behavior and chaotic patterns are investigated.
