Abstract

A computer investigation has been made for the problem of three coherent waves in a plasma system assuming a nonlinearly unstable situation and mutually different linear damping of the three interacting waves. The results agree satisfactorily with those of an analytic approach to the problem (Wilhelmsson 1970). In the present paper the solution near the explosion time has been further examined.
