Abstract
Bifurcation analysis and dynamical system studies are carried out to find the stability regime and chaotic scenario in electron acoustic waves in relativistic degenerate plasma. We have obtained the quantum hydrodynamic model and obtain the Korteweg–de Vries equation describing the nature and characteristics of solitary structures. The amplitude modulated envelop soliton formation due to external perturbations has been studied by analyzing the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Further to study the stability factors and the parametric range for such stability, the dynamical system is studied and bifurcation analysis has been carried out. The chaotic behavior of the system is studied through largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE). This work will find application in theoretically predicting the stable modes in many solar plasma and stellar plasma applications and in laser plasma in future.
