Waves Called Solitons [E-Book] : Concepts and Experiments / by Michel Remoissenet.
This book is an elementary introduction to the fascinating world of waves called solitons. These large-amplitude waves, which can propagate over long distances without dispersing and which display particle-like properties, are one of the most striking manifestations of nonlinearity. The main concept...
