• A nonlinear evolution equation is derived for Alfvén waves propagating along the magnetic field in a cold plasma. The equation provides new types of solitary waves. The phase of a solitary wave is coupled nonlinearly with its amplitude, and the propagation velocity is restricted within the range determined by the asymptotic amplitude and the wave number.
