This study investigates the propagation of dark Alfvén solitons in low-β magnetized plasma using Hall-magnetohydrodynamic (Hall-MHD) numerical simulations. The rational solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) is presented, which is proposed as an effective tool for studying dark envelope solitons in plasma. Our results show a high degree of agreement between numerical simulations and analytical solutions derived from the NLSE via the reductive perturbation method. This agreement validates our modeling and computational approach. In addition, the simulations confirm the existence of dark Alfvén solitons in magnetized plasma. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of Hall-MHD simulations in studying complex plasma phenomena, contributing to the broader understanding of soliton propagation in plasma environments.
