We deal with the theoretical investigation of the higher-order nonlinear and dispersive effects on the basic features of dust-ion-acoustic (DIA) solitary waves in a magnetized dusty plasma. Also, we examine the impacts of the external magnetic field and adiabaticity, obliquity, etc. in changing solitary wave structures. The waves of small but finite amplitude propagate obliquely through the dusty plasma where the system comprises adiabatic positively charged ions (mobile), negatively charged trapped light ions, Maxwellian distributed electrons and stationary dust particles with arbitrary charges. The reductive perturbation method is extensively used for incorporating the higher-order terms into the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation, and the procedure yields an inhomogeneous mKdV-type equation. It is observed that the inclusion of higher-order nonlinear and dispersion effects increases the wave’s amplitude and width. Furthermore, in the presence of higher-order effects, the magnetic field and adiabaticity have decreasing and increasing effects respectively on the wave features. It is expected that the results will be useful to describe higher-order effects on DIA solitary waves.
