Abstract

The nonlinear interaction of whistler waves with the background plasma via the ponderomotive force gives rise to the formation of both periodic and solitary whistler envelopes. This is described in terms of the Lagrange formalism which allows us to define conserved quantities which determine, together with the parameters of the background plasma and the whistler frequency, the particular form of the envelope.
