Since their discovery, solitons have been invoked to explain such diverse phenomena as: The long lived 'giant red spot' in the highly turbulent Jovian atmosphere. This work covers: Ion-acoustic waves in a plasma; Energy storage and transfer in proteins via the Davydov soliton; and more.

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; Multi-Soliton Solutions in the Chiral Quark Soliton Model; Solitons and Topological Solutions on a Fuzzy Sphere; Nonlinear Dynamics of Self-Guiding Electromagnetic Beams in Relativistic Electron-Positron Plasmas; Differential-Difference Equations and their Depinning Transitions; Generalised Sine-Gordon and Massive Thirring Models; Falaco Solitons-Cosmic Strings in a Swimming Pool; Index.
