Nonlinear Waves, Solitons and Chaos

The second edition of a highly successful book on nonlinear waves, solitons and chaos.

This volume provides an in-depth treatment of several equations and systems of mathematical physics, describing the propagation and interaction of nonlinear wav

This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Nonlinear Waves and Integrable Systems, held on April 13-14, 2013, at the University of Color

Presents in a systematic and unified manner the ray method, in its various forms, for studying nonlinear wave propagation in situations of physical interest, es

Nonlinear waves are pervasive in nature, but are often elusive when they are modelled and analysed. This book develops a natural approach to the problem based o

Based in part on a lecture course, this book gives an authoritative and up-to-date overview of recent research on the behaviour of waves in crystalline solids.

The aim of this book is to give a self-contained introduction to the mathe matical analysis and physical explanations of some basic nonlinear wave phe nomena. T

This self-contained set of lectures addresses a gap in the literature by providing a systematic link between the theoretical foundations of the subject matter a

This expanded and revised second edition is a comprehensive and systematic treatment of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations and their varied app

Encouraged by the friendly reception given to the first edition, I have preserved its basic form and most of the details. Apart from some corrections, minor cha
