This book concentrates upon the study of mathematical models of nonlinear solitary waves known as solitons. As the name indicates, a soliton is a localized wave that travels without changing its shape, such as an ocean wave. An important feature of solitons is that they keep...

The Boussinesq equation is the first model of surface waves in shallow water that considers the nonlinearity and the dispersion and their interaction as a reason for wave stability known as the Boussinesq paradigm. This balance bears solitary waves that behave like quasi-particles...
