Solitons
Abstract
Several aspects of solitons in the study of nonlinear phenomena, especially in fluid mechanics, are reviewed. Soliton equations are discussed, and particular consideration is given to steady two-dimensional transonic flow on shallow water, two-wave interactions, and the application of the Backlund transformation to two-dimensional vortices.
