Nonlinear Waves, Solitons and Chaos

Abstract: This revised and updated second edition of a highly successful book is the only text at this level to embrace a universal approach to three major developments in classical physics; namely nonlinear waves, solitons and chaos. The authors now include new material on biology and laser theory, and go on to discuss important recent developments such as soliton metamorphosis. A comprehensive treatment of basic plasma and fluid configurations and instabilities is followed by a study of the relevant nonlinear structur… Show more

“…It has been reported also in several systems, but the four virtual soliton resonance does not seem to have been done for KP-II [6] prior to our work. Recently we realized that resonance solitons for KP-II have been constructed independently also by Biondini and Kodama [2,8] using Sato's theory.…”

“…In that last case, there will be no wavefront dislocation and the Chu-Mei quotient will be finite. A combination 1 Some authors call this quotient the 'Fornberg-Whitham term' [27], referring to [28]. However, throughout this Letter we call it the 'Chu-Mei quotient', since they introduced it for the first time [29,30] when they derived the modulation equations of Whitham's theory [31] for slowly varying Stokes waves.…”

“…Soliton solutions are relevant to nonlinear models in various areas of physics which deal with the propagation of intensive wave fields in dispersive media: optical pulses and beams in fibers and spatial waveguides, electromagnetic waves in plasma, surface waves on deep water, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Recently, solitons have also drawn a great deal of interest in plasmonics [8][9][10].…”

“…The dynamics of narrow HF wave packets is described by the third-order nonlinear dispersive wave theory [1], which takes into account the nonlinear dispersion (self-steeping) [14], stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) [15][16][17] and third-order dispersion (TOD). The basic equation of the theory is the extended NLSE [17][18][19][20][21].…”
