A solitary wave is the dispersion-less solution of nonlinear evolutionary equations that travels at a constant speed without dissipating its energy. The purpose of this article is to provide insight into the discovery and history of solitons. The different types of the solitons are discussed in brief that is helpful for the researchers. For the discussion of the nature of solitons, the solution behavior of the Korteweg de Vries equation (KdV), the sine-Gordon (SG), the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation, and the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation are considered. This article deals with the various applications of solitons in different fields such as biophysics, nonlinear optics, Bose-Einstein condensation, plasma physics, Josephson junction, etc. focusing on the properties of solitons based on their classification.
孤立波是一类非线性演化方程的无弥散解,它以恒定速度传播且不耗散能量。本文旨在深入介绍孤子的发现历程和历史。简要讨论了不同类型的孤子,这对研究人员很有帮助。为了探讨孤子的性质,我们考虑了科特韦格 - 德弗里斯方程(KdV)、正弦 - 戈登方程(SG)、卡马萨 - 霍尔姆方程(CH)以及非线性薛定谔方程(NLS)的解的行为。本文探讨了孤子在生物物理学、非线性光学、玻色 - 爱因斯坦凝聚、等离子体物理学、约瑟夫森结等不同领域的各种应用,并基于孤子的分类重点介绍了它们的特性。
