On the theory of large amplitude Alfven wavesSolutions of the MHD equations are derived, which describe the propagation of nonplanar large-amplitude Alfven waves in an infinite homogeneous plasma with no background flow. Some features of interplanetary Alfven waves are discussed, and a typical solution is described qualitatively.
