Since their discovery a mere thirty years ago, solitons have been invoked to explain such diverse phenomena as: The long lived 'giant red spot' in the highly turbulent Jovian atmosphere. The famous Fermi-Pasta-Ulam paradox wherein a nonlinearly coupled lattice of particles does not display the "expected'' equipartition of energy among available modes. Ion-acoustic waves in a plasma. Energy storage and transfer in proteins via the Davydov soliton. The propagation of short laser pulses in optical fibres over long distances with negligible shape change. This volume presents important research from around the globe.
Preface; Further Thoughts on First Generation Solitons and J-T Gravity; Linearisation Operators of Solitons in the Derivative Nonlinear Schrodinger Hierarchy; Topological Solitons of the Static Sine-Gordon Equations and Equilibrium Structure of Josephson Vortices in Weakly-Coupled Superconductors; Noncommutative Zero-Curvature Formulation of Soliton Equations; Stationary States in a Pair of Tunnel-Coupled Two-Dimensional Condensates with the Scattering Lengths of Opposite Sign; Skyrmion Collisions on a Non-Isotropic Domain; Index.
