Description
Second edition of the English translation (first published in 1981) from the Japanese (1978) deals with waves in lattices composed of particles interacting by nonlinear forces. New areas elucidated include such problems as integrability, generalized lattices, and the Bethe ansatz. Annotation copyrig

Description
Soliton theory, the theory of nonlinear waves in lattices composed of particles interacting by nonlinear forces, is treated rigorously in this book. The presentation is coherent and self-contained, starting with pioneering work and extending to the most recent advances in the field. Special attention is focused on exact methods of solution of nonlinear problems and on the exact mathematical treatment of nonlinear lattice vibrations. This new edition updates the material to take account of important new advances.
