Abstract
Propagation of strong magnetoplasma waves is studied with consideratio n of effects of the temporal dispersion. It is shown that the temporal dispersion in the nonlinear regime leads to overturning of the wavefr ont and generation of the shock waves. An analysis of the evolution of shock waves is carried out in both nondissipative and weakly dissipat ive cases.
