The nonlinear evolution of monochromatic waves is analyzed on the basis of a model which is multi-dimensional in terms of the velocity. The effect of a continuously acting particle source on the interaction of a nonlinear wave with untrapped particles is studied. The evolution of a large-amplitude wave as it interacts with particles trapped by the magnetic field is also studied. The trapped particles go out of phase with the wave in a nonlinear fashion, so that, the wave amplitude approaches its average value, going through small damped oscillations.
