Abstract: Positron acoustic waves (PAWs) in an unmagnetized electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasma consisting of mobile cold positrons, immobile positive ions, q -nonextensive distributed electrons and hot positrons are studied. The standard reductive perturbation technique (RPT) is applied to derive the Kurteweg-de Vries (KdV) and modified Kurteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equations for PAWs. Variations of the total energy of the conservative systems corresponding to the KdV and mKdV equations are presented. Using numerical simulations, effect of the nonextensive parameter ( q ), temperature ratio ( σ ) of electrons to hot positrons and speed ( U ) of the traveling wave are discussed on the positron acoustic solitary wave solutions of the KdV and mKdV equations. Considering an external periodic perturbation, the perturbed dynamical systems corresponding to the KdV and mKdV equations are analyzed by employing phase orbit analysis, Poincare section and Lyapunov exponent. The frequency ( ω ) of the external periodic perturbation plays the role of the switching parameter in chaotic motions of the perturbed PAWs through quasiperiodic route to chaos. This work may be useful to understand the qualitative changes in the dynamics of nonlinear perturbations in auroral acceleration regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
