Journal ArticleDOI
The soliton: A new concept in applied science
TL;DR: The term soliton has been coined to describe a pulselike nonlinear wave (solitary wave) which emerges from a collision with a similar pulse having unchanged shape and speed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perturbation analysis of fluxon dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, a two-stage scheme is presented to study structural perturbations of the sine-Gordon equation, which is based upon the inverse scattering transform, detailed knowledge of this technical apparatus is not necessary in order to effect the calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiphase averaging and the inverse spectral solution of the Korteweg—de Vries equation
TL;DR: Inverse spectral theory is used to derive an invariant representation of the modulational equations for the slow modulations of N-phase wave trains for the Korteweg-de Vries equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canonically Conjugate Variables for the Korteweg-de Vries Equation and the Toda Lattice with Periodic Boundary Conditions*)
H. Flaschka,David W. McLaughlin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new set of canonically conjugate variables 1s was introduced for the Korteweg-de Vries equation and the periodic Toda lattice, which were used for reducing both equations to a nonlinear system which can be integrated in terms of theta functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A neuronal network model of macaque primary visual cortex (V1): Orientation selectivity and dynamics in the input layer 4Cα
TL;DR: An explanation for how selectivity for orientation could be produced by a model with circuitry that is based on the anatomy of V1 cortex, a network model of layer 4Calpha in macaque primary visual cortex, which obtains sharpening, diversity in selectivity, and dynamics of orientation selectivity.
