How to use Belinsky-Zakharov transformation
I know it might be trivial. When using BZ transformation [1] to generate soliton solutions of Einstein’s field equations, one need a seed solution $g_{0}$ which gives $A_{0}$ and $B_{0}$. Taking them ...

Why do vortices scatter at right-angles
I have been taking a course on non-perturbative physics and currently the teacher is away so I cannot ask him.
In the lectures, he made the claim that a pair of vortices in the abelian-Higgs model ...

Categorization of electromagnetic solitons?
I've seen over the years several mentions of electromagnetic solitons that appear in the high-intensity regime (where vacuum polarization becomes important). Some of these are coupled with plasmas, ...

KdV equation and classical linear wave equation
Like we know, the standard form of KdV equation is
$$u_{t}-6uu_{x}+u_{xxx}=0,\tag{1}$$
where this equation describes a solitary wave propagation and $u=u(x,t)$.
On the other hand, we know the ...

Wave propagation speed in non-linear differential equations
Could it happen than a solitary travelling wave (soliton) had a different propagation speed when seen from the usual wave equations from that in a non-linear equation. I mean, suppose a solution $F=f(...

Nonlinear Saturated Schrodinger Equation in 1D- Physical Models
I'm studying the Nonlinear 1d Schrodinger equation
$$i\psi _t + \psi '' + |\psi |^{2p} \psi - \epsilon |\psi | ^{2q} \psi = 0\, , \quad t>0, x\in \mathbb{R}\, ,$$
and specifically, its solitary ...

Do you know about any book which discusses solitons in Benjamin-Ono Equation?
Benjamin-Ono equation is an integrable equation with soliton solutions. There are many books on solitons. The ones I know about mainly discuss solitons in Korteweg de-Vries and related equations. Do ...
