(a) Top panel: Sagdeev pseudopotential profiles for different V values corresponding to \(\zeta =0\) (i.e. no cold electron population); the depicted curves represent regular SWs, for all values of V: Curve I for \(V = 1.15\); Curve II for \(V =1.17077242\) and Curve III for \(V = 1.172\). (b) Bottom panel: Sagdeev pseudopotential profiles for different V values corresponding to \(\zeta =0.0001\) (i.e. a small portion of cold electrons; the depicted curves represent (I) RSW for \(V = 1.15\); (II) FTSW, for \(V =1.17077242\) and (III) SSW for \(V = 1.172\), The remaining parameter values are: \(\beta =0.06439\), \(\delta =0.01\), \(\mu =16\), and \(Q=1\).
