Approximate solution to a generalized Van der Pol equation arising in plasma oscillations

Motivated by some published theoretical investigations and based on the two-fluid model, nonlinear plasma oscillations are analyzed and discussed in the framework of the generalized Van der Pol equation. This equation is analyzed and solved using two different analytical approaches. In this first ap...

description Motivated by some published theoretical investigations and based on the two-fluid model, nonlinear plasma oscillations are analyzed and discussed in the framework of the generalized Van der Pol equation. This equation is analyzed and solved using two different analytical approaches. In this first approach, the ansatz method is carried out for deriving an approximation in the form of a trigonometric function. In the second approach, the Krylov–Bogoliubov–Mitropolsky (KBM) technique is applied for obtaining a high-accurate approximation. The obtained approximations are compared with the numerical approximation using the Runge–Kutta (RK) method. Moreover, the distance error between the obtained approximations (using the ansatz method and the KBM technique) and the RK numerical approximation is estimated. In our investigation, both the proposed methods and obtained approximations can help many authors investigate several nonlinear oscillations in different plasma models and fluid mechanics.
