Question

Write short note on solitary wave.

Answer 1

Answer by Rashid21

Solitary waves arise in many contexts, including the elevation of the surface of water and the intensity of light in optical fibers. A soliton is a nonlinear solitary wave with the additional property that the wave retains its permanent structure, even after interacting with another soliton.

Answer 2

The solitary wave (water waves) or wave of translation, as observed by John Scott Russell in 1834, the prototype for a soliton.

A soliton, a generalization of the wave of translation to general systems of partial differential equations

A topological defect, a generalization of the idea of a soliton to any system which is stable against decay due to homotopy theory
