  • The interaction phenomena of electron acoustic solitary waves (EASWs) and the higher order correction of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations (KdVEs) have investigated in unmagnetized collisionless plasma system consisting of relativistic cold electrons and electron beams, non-relativistic Maxwellian hot electrons and stationary ions. To understand the physical issues concerned, the two-sided KdVEs using extended PoincarĂ©-Lighthill-Kue (ePLK) method are derived taking the higher order correction into consideration. The analyses reveal that the widths and amplitudes of EASWs (as obtain from KdVEs) are decreasing with plasma parameters. The plasma parameters are responsible for the modification of KdV-soliton structure. It is found that the narrowness of width and the steepness of dip of the solitons become more pronounced and the electric field behaves like semi-kink solitons due to the higher order correction of KdVEs. Dip shape rarefactive soliton becomes pronounced by plasma parameters. The phase shifts of EASWs are also enhanced due to the effects of plasma species temperatures and density ratios.
