Abstract
The nonlinear propagation of circularly polarized electromagnetic wave s with relativistically strong amplitude in an unmagnetized cold elect ron-positron ion plasma is investigated. The possibility of finding so liton solutions in such a plasma is explored. It is shown that the pre sence of a small fraction of massive ions in the plasma leads to stabl e localized solutions.
