Variational Methods in Nonlinear Field Equations: Solitary Waves, Hylomorphic Solitons and Vortices

by Vieri Benci and Donato Fortunato

Book Overview

The book analyzes the existence of solitons, namely of finite energy solutions of field equations which exhibit stability properties. The book is divided in two parts. In the first part, the authors give an abstract definition of solitary wave and soliton and we develop an abstract existence theory for hylomorphic solitons, namely for those solitons which minimize the energy for a given charge. In the second part, the authors apply this theory to...
