Abstract
On the basis of perturbation approach, we present here the behavior of a plasma soliton, in the presence of averaged complex Stenflo relaxation and Gibbons potentials, for (1) amplitude, (2) velocity, (3) phase and (4) frequency α. These results are compared with the observations of Ankiewicz (J Nonlinear Opt Phys Materials 4:857, 1995) for optical solitons by obtaining equivalent complex potentials for self-steepening and gain dispersion. The relevance of this phenomenological study is suggested.
