Theory of Soliton Waves.
Abstract
The long-range objective of the work performed under this contract has been to construct realistic models of water waves using solitons and other intrinsically nonlinear waves as the fundamental building blocks. In principle, both deterministic and statistical models could be constructed in this way, in deep water or in shallow water. The basic idea is that because water waves are known to be fundamentally nonlinear, one has a better chance of describing them with mathematical models that are also fundamentally nonlinear. This report describes the progress we have made in achieving that objective. Keywords include: Soliton; Nonlinear waves; Water waves.
