Abstract :
Previous work on exact cylindrical surface waves in a nonneutral cold-electron plasma bounded by a dielectric is extended to include plasma rotation. A set of nonlinear rate equations describing the temporal behavior of the system is derived by first determining an appropriate spatial wave structure. Physically relevant periodic solutions are obtained
