Computer Algebra Implementations of Whitham's Averaged Lagrangian Technique in the Field of Nonlinear Optics

Arbuckle, Thomas David (1992) Computer Algebra Implementations of Whitham's Averaged Lagrangian Technique in the Field of Nonlinear Optics. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

The work contained in the thesis consists of a number of topic areas. 1) It attempts to describe and explain in general terms the concept of a soliton and to enumerate examples of the use of the concept of the soliton in the field of nonlinear optics. A survey of the literature is made and references both theoretical and experimental are discussed.
