  • Abstract
    Dust-acoustic waves in dusty plasmas are studied in a kinetic context incorporating dust distributions and charge fluctuations, two of the main features that distinguish dusty or complex from ordinary plasmas. This is done by deriving a generalized Vlasov equation in an extended phase space. No specific charging model is used so that the results are generic.
