From the reviews:
„The author succeeds in writing a monograph which introduces the physics of solitons on compact systems to readers who may not have any such prior knowledge. … The text is suitable for a graduate course on special topics or it can be used by readers with various backgrounds and interests who simply want to understand the connections between geometry and the phenomena of nonlinear waves.“ (Alina Stancu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1167, 2009)
Nonlinear Waves and Solitons on Contours and Closed Surfaces
von Andrei LuduThe present volume is an introduction to nonlinear waves and soliton theory in the special environment of compact spaces such as closed curves and surfaces and other domain contours.
The first part of the book introduces the mathematical concept required for treating the manifolds considered. An introduction to the theory of motion of curves and surfaces is given. The second and third parts discuss the modeling of various physical solitons on compact systems.
