Generalized variational principles for ion acoustic plasma waves by He's semi-inverse method
Introduction
The ion acoustic plasma equations are [1]where φ, n, and v are respectively the electric potential, ion density and ion velocity.
Although the partial differential model for ion acoustic plasma equations has been studied for a long time, yet the general variational principles for the discussed problem have not been dealt with. Variational model gives us another approach to the physical understanding of the problem in an energy view. Variational methods will become a popular tool for nonlinear analysis of ion acoustic waves.
This paper is a preliminary report on the construction of variational formulations for the discussed problem by the semi-inverse method proposed by He [2], [3], and it shows a great success.

Variational formulations by the semi-inverse method
From Eq. (1), we can introduce a special function, Ψ, defined asSimilarly from Eq. (2), another special function, Π, can be introduced, which satisfies the following relations:Our aim in this paper is to construct some variational principles for the discussed problem by He's semi-inverse method [2], [3].
To proceed, we consider the following functional:where the trial-Lagrangian, L, can be written in the form:
Conclusions
To conclude, we obtain some variational principle by the semi-inverse method, which is a powerful mathematical tool to the search for variational formulations directly from the field equations.

The derived solution by HAM is compared by previously available exact solution of same model, in case of constant transport parameters, based on an alternative method of Laplace transform method (Simpson and Ellery, 2014) and the validation is also carried out for all the variable dependent cases by using Variational iteration method (He, 1997, 1998a, 1998b; Liu, 2005). In all cases, a good agreement is found between both the solutions for parent and daughter species, both.

Despite the considerable advances made in characterizing the dynamic properties of marine risers, most of these methods are based on perturbation or discretion of the governing equation, often leading to tedious calculations.
