Abstract
It is shown that the nonlinear equation governing the dynamics of coupled dust-acoustic and dust-cyclotron waves in a magnetized dust-ion plasma can be written in the form of an energy integral. The latter is analyzed analytically as well as numerically to investigate the properties of arbitrary amplitude solitary waves. It is found both analytically as well as numerically that there exist solitary waves only with a negative potential. The implications of these results to some space and astrophysical dusty plasma systems, especially to planetary ring systems and cometary tails, are briefly discussed.Keywords
