Title:

Solitons and Chaos in Plasma

Date of publication:

Sep. 1990

Key words:

soliton, chaos, inverse scattering transformation, Alfven soliton, optical fiber, standard map, relativistic standard map

Abstract:

Plasma exhibits a full of variety of nonlinear phenomena. Active research in nonlinear plasma physics contributed to explore the concepts of soliton and chaos. Structure of soliton equations and dynamics of low dimensional Hamiltonian systems are discussed to emphasize the universality of these novel concepts in the wide branch of science and engineering.
