Abstract

It is shown that the exact nonlinear solution for the Hall–Alfvén waves can be obtained in a uniformly rotating weakly ionized plasma such as those which exist in various types of accretion disks. In addition this piece of work demonstrates a method of eliminating the inaccuracies embedded in the literature on this subject.
