Phase slips and dissipation of Alfvenic intermediate shocks and solitons

The time evolution of a rotational discontinuity, characterized by a change of the magnetic-field direction by an angle Δ θ such that π < | Δ θ | < 2 π and no amplitude variation, is considered in the framework of asymptotic models that, through reductive perturbative expansions, isolate the d...
