Abstract :
In this paper, solitary wave and periodic wave solutions of the nonlinear drift-wave equation arising from magnetized plasmas are investigated based on the steady bifurcation and energy integral of the conservative dynamical system satisfied by the traveling waves. Conditions for the existence of solitary waves and periodic waves are given in terms of a bifurcation control parameter and the initial energy. Simplified formulations are obtained for the periodic wave solutions by developing an approximate method.
