Abstract
It is shown that finite-amplitude ion-acoustic waves in a collision-dominated plasma are described by a Korteweg–de Vries–Burger equation, which has the same form, but with very different scaling and parameter dependence from that describing ion-acoustic waves in a weakly collisional plasma.
