The soliton is a dramatic concept in nonlinear science. What makes this book unique in the treatment of this subject is its focus on the properties that make th

There are two approaches in the study of differential equations of field theory. The first, finding closed-form solutions, works only for a narrow category of p

This textbook is an introduction to the theory of solitons in the physical sciences.

Topological solitons occur in many nonlinear classical field theories. They are stable, particle-like objects, with finite mass and a smooth structure. Examples

Soliton theory is an important branch of applied mathematics and mathematical physics. An active and productive field of research, it has important applications
