Timed just right, it’s like watching a kinetic sculpture harmoniously generating a soliton wave as tiles fall only to be endlessly reset in time to fall again. A Mindstorms IR sensor monitors a ...

Nonlinear waves; integrable systems; solitons; mathematical modeling in social and behavioral science. The study of wave phenomena by means of mathematical models often leads to a certain class of ...

A new on-surface chemical reaction enables the appearance of solitons in π-conjugated polymers. The reaction, called indenyl coupling, reveals that structural parity drives the appearance of ...

the opening chapters of this text consider the classical problems in linear and non-linear water-wave theory. This sets the ground for a study of more modern aspects, problems that give rise to ...
