Electrostatic nonlinear waves in a dusty plasma with positive dust grains and two electron species

The existence of arbitrary amplitude nonlinear electrostatic waves is investigated for a plasma with positively charged dust in the presence of two-temperature electron species. It is shown that such a plasma supports both soliton and double layer structures.
