Compacton — In the theory of integrable systems, a compacton, introduced in (Philip Rosenau James M. Hyman 1993), is a soliton with compact support. An example of an equation with compacton solutions is the generalization of the Korteweg–de Vries… … Wikipedia
Soliton — In mathematics and physics, a soliton is a self reinforcing solitary wave (a wave packet or pulse) that maintains its shape while it travels at constant speed. Solitons are caused by a cancellation of nonlinear and dispersive effects in the… … Wikipedia

Dissipative soliton — Dissipative solitons (DSs) are stable solitary localized structures that arise in nonlinear spatially extended dissipative systems due to mechanisms of self organization. They can be considered as an extension of the classical soliton concept in… … Wikipedia
