Description
There is a significant body of literature related to the analytic modeling of Alfven waves in the solar wind which takes dispersive magnetohydrodynamics as an idealized basis. In this context, the derivative nonlinear Schrodinger (DNLS) equation has been found by several authors to describe the evolution of small amplitude Alfven waves. Although the DNLS neglects a rich variety of mechanisms which affect the propagation of Alfven waves in the solar wind, it does provide a powerful tool for studying their underlying nonlinear behavior
