Beyond the Burgers paradigm: the stabilizing role of higher-order nonlinearities in magnetized heavy ion-acoustic shocks

Abstract This paper investigates the role of higher-order nonlinearities in the propagation of heavy ion-acoustic shock waves (HIASWs) within a magnetized, collisionless plasma comprising inertial heavy ions and kappa-distributed electrons and positrons. Employing a reductive perturbation technique, we derive a magneti...
