Abstract
In the present investigation, we have studied the linear and nonlinear propagation of electrostatic waves in a dense magnetoplasma with trapped electrons. Using the small amplitude approximation, formation of solitary structures has been studied both for fully and partially degenerate plasmas. The theoretical results obtained have been analyzed numerically for the parameters typically found in white dwarfs. The present work may be beneficial to understand the propagation of solitary structures with weak transverse perturbation with special reference to white dwarf asteroseismology.
