1. Invariance Analysis of the (2+1) Dimensional Long Dispersive Wave Equation

M. Senthil Velan, M. Lakshmanan
Pages: 251 - 260
In this paper, we bring out the Lie symmetries and associated similarity reductions of the recently proposed (2+1) dimensional long dispersive wave equation. We point out that the integrable system admits an infinite-dimensional symmetry algebra along with Kac-Moody-Virasoro-type subalgebras. We also...

2. A Nonrelativistic Chiral Soliton in One Dimension

R. Jackiw
Pages: 261 - 270
I analyze the one-dimensional, cubic Schrödinger equation with a nonlinearity constructed from the current density rather than, as is usual, from the charge density. A soliton solution is found, where the soliton moves only in one direction. Relation to the higher-dimensional Chern­Simons theory is indicated....

Masayoshi Tajiri, Yosuke Watanabe
Pages: 350 - 357
An inclined periodic soliton solution can be expressed as imbricate series of rational soliton solutions. A convenient form of the imbrication is given by using the bilinear form. A lattice soliton solution which propagaties in any direction can be also constructed by doubly imbricating rational solitons.
