Abstract

The one-dimensional oblique propagation of magnetohydrodynamic waves with arbitrary amplitudes in a Hall plasma with isotropic pressure is studied under assumption that the plasma β is large. It is shown that the wave evolution is described by the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLS).
