Abstract

The possible crest forms of magnetoacoustic travelling waves of small amplitude satisfying the full system of equations describe the wave propagation in a cold quasineutral collisionless plasma are determined. For a certain range of the inclination angle of the magnetic induction vector we find solitary waves. We find also families of periodic waves of two different types, as well as quasiperiodic waves aiid generalized solitary waves with non-decreasing oscillations at infinity.
