For this purpose, using the extended Poincaré–Lighthill–Kuo (PLK) approach, two Kortwege–de Vries equations with solitonic solutions are derived and then phase shifts of DIAS waves after the head-on collision are obtained. The effects of nonextensivity and relative density on the phase shifts are investigated. The study results show that both quantities have a significant effect on the phase shifts. We believe that the results of this research can be useful in better understanding the behavior of plasma waves and their applications in laboratory and space plasmas.
