	Soliton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics and physics, a soliton is a self-reinforcing solitary wave caused by nonlinear effects in the medium.
		Solitons are found in many physical phenomena, as they arise as the solutions of a widespread class of weakly nonlinear partial differential equations describing physical systems.
		The soliton phenomenon was first described by John Scott Russell (1808-1882) who observed a solitary wave in the Union Canal, reproduced the phenomenon in a wave tank, and named it the "Wave of Translation".

		A soliton is a self-reinforcing "solitary wave" in a nonlinear medium.
		Solitons are found in many non-linear physical phenomena, as they are found as solutions of many different non-linear differential equations.
		A classic example of a soliton is the Severn bore, a wave phenomenon in the River Severn.

	Quantum Ontology: Minds, Brains & Catalysis
		Soliton waves (originally identified by J. Scott Russell in 1884) are non-dissipative waves that occur at the boundary between differing tendencies of waves.
		In the case of solitons on membranes, there is a necessary relationship between the possibility of solitons existing and types of topological transformations which leave key geometric features unchanged (Rogers and Shadwick, 1982, p 107-110, also Rogers and Schief, 2002).
		The soliton is not independent of the enzyme; it is expressed as movement amongst the atoms that comprise it.

	Soliton (topological) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A topological soliton is a solution of a system of partial differential equations (or alternatively, a quantum field theory), not so much because of the nature of the PDEs themselves, but because of the boundary conditions entailing the existence of homotopically distinct solutions.
		Examples of topological solitons include vortices in liquid crystals, magnetic flux tubes in superconductors and domain walls in ferromagnets.
		Depending on the nature of symmetry breakdown various solitons are believed to have formed in the early universe according to Kibble-Higgs mechanism.

	FSD : Starship Operations : Soliton Wave
		Although the soliton wave would require the two points - planets or planetoids - to be equipped with wave generators and wave dispersal facilities, the energy and power efficiency benefits make it a worthwhile proposition.
		The scattering field on Lemma II was not designed to cope with a wave this powerful, and the Enterprise was forced to fly through the wave and head it off at the pass, firing a salvo of photon torpedoes to disrupt it.
		Whether the soliton wave will ever replace warp drive on starships remains to be seen, although early tests reveal some advantages to the wave.

	soliton
		Mathematically, a soliton is a solution to a partial differential equation that is localized in some directions but not localized in time, and which does not change its shape.
		The first soliton to be described was a water wave seen by the engineer and shipbuilder John Scott Russell (1808-1882) in 1834 when he was riding by the Grand Union Canal at Hermiston, Glasgow.
		On Jul. 12, 1995, a viaduct at Hermiston was renamed the John Scott Russell viaduct, with Kruskal unveiling plaques and attempting to recreate a soliton wave.

		Soliton research has been conducted in fields as diverse as particle physics, molecular biology, geology, oceanography, astrophysics, and nonlinear optics.
		Solitons may be formed when a nonlinear interaction produces a self-focusing of the wave packet that compensates for dispersion.
		The solitons are set in motion by offsetting the optical potential, and are observed to propagate in the potential for many oscillatory cycles without spreading.

		The shape is chosen so that as the soliton travels down the fiber and interacts with dispersion in the fiber and nonlinearities in the fiber, the initial pulse shape is maintained.
		A typical soliton pulse shape is shown in Figure 1.
		The ability of soliton pulses to travel on the fiber and maintain it’s launch wave shape makes solitons a very attractive choice for very long distance, high data rate fiber optic transmission systems.

		The leading developer of the soliton wave is Dr. Ja'Dar, a scientist from planet Bilana III.
		The first full test of the soliton wave provided much excitement for those involved; they historically compared it to the breaking of the sound barrier by Chuck Yeager in the mid-20th century, and the light-speed barrier by Zefram Cochrane in the mid-21st century.
		Whether the soliton wave will ever replace warp drive on starships remains to be seen, although early tests reveal some real advantages to the wave.

		As a preliminary definition, a soliton is considered as solitary, traveling wave pulse solution of nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE).
		Not so for the solitons: after a fully nonlinear interaction, the solitary waves remerge, retaining their identities with same speed and shape.
		The beginning of soliton physics in often dated back to the month of August 1834 when John Scott Russell observed the ``great wave of translation''.

		The soliton wave is generated by a stationary generator on a planet and directed towards the ship in order to accelerate it to warp speed.
		The concept of the soliton wave seems to be quite similar to conventional warp propulsion, considering that a wave is nothing but a traveling field.
		Moreover, the TNG episode "New Ground", where the soliton wave was featured, demonstrated the risk of the wave that is hard to control once it is released and cannot be dissipated in the worst case.

	Encyclopedia of Nonlinear Science
		In simple terms, nonlinear science recognizes that the "whole is more than a sum of its parts," providing a context for consideration of phenomena like tsunamis (tidal waves), biological evolution, atmospheric dynamics, and the electrochemical activity of a human brain, among many others.
		For a research scientist, nonlinear science offers novel phenomena, including the emergence of coherent structures (an optical soliton, for example, or a nerve impulse) and chaos (characterized by the difficulties in making accurate predictions for surprisingly simple systems over extended periods of time).
		Interestingly, it is sometimes possible to compute the velocity of emergent entities (their speeds and shapes) from initial conditions and express them as tabulated functions (theta functions or elliptic functions), thereby extending the analytic reach of nonlinear analysis.
