Abstract: A relatively self-consistent theory of dust-acoustic waves in the strongly coupled dusty plasmas containing variable-charge impurities is given. Relevant physical processes such as dust elastic relaxation and dust charge relaxation are taken into account. It is shown that the negative dispersion of dust-acoustic waves due to the strong correlation of dusts is enhanced in the presence of dust-neutral collisions.
