The second edition of a highly successful book on nonlinear waves, solitons and chaos.

In the last ten to fifteen years there have been many important developments in the theory of integrable equations. This period is marked in particular by the s

Nonlinear Waves in Integrable and Nonintegrable Systems presents cutting-edge developments in the theory and experiments of nonlinear waves. Its comprehensive c

Although the mathematical theory of nonlinear waves and solitons has made great progress, its applications to concrete physical problems are rather poor, especi
