- In mathematics and physics, a soliton is a self-reinforcing solitary wave (a wave packet or pulse) that maintains its shape while it travels at constant speed. Solitons are caused by a cancellation of nonlinear and dispersive effects in the medium. ...
- In optics, the term soliton is used to refer to any optical field that does not change during propagation because of a delicate balance between nonlinear and linear effects in the medium. There are two main kinds of solitons:n* spatial solitons: the nonlinear effect can balance the diffraction. ...
- In mathematics and physics, a topological soliton or a topological defect is a solution of a system of partial differential equations or of a quantum field theory homotopically distinct from the vacuum solution; it can be proven to exist because the boundary conditions entail the existence of ...
- (solitons) A pulse of light that is shaped in such a way that dispersion effects are nearly obliterated, allowing light to travel long distances without loss of information.
- A solution to a partial differential equation which is localized in some directions but not localized in time, and which does not change its shape. An example of a traveling wave.
- A soliton is a stable, isolated wave that travels at a constant speed. As a soliton travels, its shape does not change and it does not dissipate. If it collides with another wave, it emerges from the collision unscathed. In a sense, it is a wave that behaves like a particle. ...
- A sole, self-sufficient and stable (asymptotically unchanging) island of locally low u (and high v) surrounded by locally higher u (and lower v). For example, see (F=0.054, k=0.067).
