This book is devoted to one of the most interesting and rapidly developing areas of modern nonlinear physics and mathematics - the theoretical, analytical and advanced numerical, study of the structure and dynamics of one-dimensional as well as two- and three-dimensional solitons and nonlinear waves described by Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP), nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) and derivative NLS (DNLS) classes of equations. Special attention is paid to generalizations (relevant to various complex physical media) of these equations, accounting for higher-order dispersion corrections, influence of dissipation, instabilities, and stochastic fluctuations of the wave fields. The book addresses researchers working in the theory and numerical simulations of dispersive complex media in such fields as hydrodynamics, plasma physics, and aerodynamics. It will also be useful as a reference work for graduate students in physics and mathematics.

From the reviews:

"The book is devoted to one of the most interesting and rapidly developing areas of modern non-linear physics and mathematics ... . The book addresses researchers working in the theory and numerical simulations of dispersive complex media in such fields as hydrodynamics, plasma physics, and aerodynamics. It will also be useful as a reference work for graduate students in physics and mathematics." (Gai Bieng Zheng, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1087, 2006)

"This book is concerned with the theoretical and numerical study of solitons and nonlinear wave packets ... . The authors present a unified approach to the theory, numerical approximation and applications of solitary wave solutions. Since it collects together many and diverse results in one of the most interesting and rapidly growing areas of modern nonlinear physics ... this monograph will prove very useful to researchers working in hydrodynamics, plasma physics, aerodynamics and in applied mathematics."
