Abstract
A general form of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation, describing the nonlinear evolution of Alfvén waves propagating parallel to the magnetic field, is derived by using two-fluid equations with electron and ion pressure tensors obtained from Braginskii [in Reviews of Plasma Physics (Consultants Bureau, New York, 1965), Vol. 1, p. 218]. This equation is a mixed version of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation and the DNLS, as it contains an additional cubic nonlinear term that is of the same order as the derivative of the nonlinear terms, a term containing the product of a quadratic term, and a first-order derivative. It incorporates the effects of finite beta, which is an important characteristic of space and laboratory plasmas.
