A comprehensive overview is presented of recent observational and theoretical results on
solar wind structures and fluctuations and magnetohydrodynamic waves and turbulence …

Low-frequency wave modes of magnetized inhomogeneous plasmas have been subject to
intense study in the last decade because they play important roles in the transport of energy …

In this paper we investigate spectral and phase coherence properties of magnetic
fluctuations in the vicinity of the spectral transition from large, magnetohydrodynamic to sub …

A class of parametric instabilities of large‐amplitude, circularly polarized Alfvén waves is
considered in which finite frequency (dispersive) effects are included. The dispersion …

The theory of MHD soliton formation parallel to the magnetic field, as described by the DNLS
equation and related models, is reviewed. The known results on the physical relevance …

The derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation is derived by an efficient means that
employs Lagrangian variables. An expression for the stationary wave solutions of the DNLS …

The DNLS equation for parallel nonlinear and weakly dispersive MHD waves is extended to
finite beta values as well as to three spatial dimensions, by means of the reductive …

From the very beginning of in situ observations of the solar wind it was realized that the
interplanetary medium by all appearances was usually not quiet but rather turbulent and …

We investigate the parametric instabilities of a large-amplitude circularly polarized
dispersive parallel-propagating Alfvén wave. Our treatment is more general than that of …

The stability of a finite amplitude circularly polarized Alfvén wave of wave number k0 is
studied by using the two‐fluid isentropic equations. Linear perturbation analysis, involving …
