Abstract: Two‐dimensional three‐component plasma system consisting of nonextensive electrons, positrons, and relativistic thermal ions is considered. The well‐known Kadomtsev‐Petviashvili‐Burgers and Kadomtsev‐Petviashvili equations are derived to study the basic characteristics of small but finite amplitude ion acoustic waves of the plasmas by using the reductive perturbation method. The influences of positron concentration, electron‐positron and ion‐electron temperature ratios, strength of electron and positrons nonextensivity, and relativistic streaming factor on the propagation of ion acoustic waves in the plasmas are investigated. It is revealed that the electrostatic compressive and rarefactive ion acoustic waves are obtained for superthermal electrons and positrons, but only compressive ion acoustic waves are found and the potential profiles become steeper in case of subthermal positrons and electrons.
