Abstract
Nonlinear electron plasma waves in a cold plasma bounded by a cylindrical dielectric are investigated using the exact electron fluid equations. After the spatial wave structure is determined, a set of nonlinear equations governing the temporal behavior of the field quantities is solved. It is shown that finite amplitude waves and explosively unstable behavior can occur
