Soliton turbulence
Abstract
A qualitative picture of strong wave turbulence in the absence of wave collapses is proposed. The central role in the turbulence mechanism is played by processes that lead to an increase in the amplitude of solitons as their number decreases. In conservative nonintegrable systems the soliton is a statistical attractor. The proposed pattern is confirmed by direct numerical simulation.
