Popis: The dissemination of positron-acoustic (PA) nonlinear structures, including the solitary waves (SWs) and cnoidal waves (CWs), is analyzed in an unmagnetized electron–positron–ion (e–p–i) plasma having inertial cold positrons and inertialess Cairns distributed electrons and Maxwellian positrons as well as immobile positive ions. The reductive perturbation method (RPM) is introduced to reduce the fluid equations to this model to the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) type equation for studying small amplitude PA waves (PAWs). Moreover, the Kawahara (sometimes called the fifth-order KdV) equation is also obtained to investigate the characteristics of large amplitude PAWs. The effects of related parameters, such as nonthermal parameters, hot positron concentration, electron concentration, and temperature ratios, are numerically examined on the features of SWs and CWs.
