Definition of soliton in English English dictionary
- a self-reinforcing travelling wave or pulse caused by any non-linear effect; found in many physical systems
- {i} (Mathematics, Physics) quantum generated in the way of a solitary wave that travels without losing energy
- An intelligent particle that has an associated awareness Each person has a single soliton, which is the location of the separate, solitary awareness that each person experiences The soliton in each person interacts with the bions of the brain that collectively form the mind
- Optical solitons are solitary light waves, or pulses, which are intense enough to be transmitted enormous distances without changing their overall shape or spreading
- A solution to a partial differential equation which is localized in some directions but not localized in time, and which does not change its shape An example of a traveling wave
- An optical pulse having a shape, spectral content, and power level designed to take advantage of nonlinear effects in an optical fiber waveguide, for the purpose of essentially negating dispersion over long distances
- (physics) a quantum of energy or quasiparticle that can be propagated as a traveling wave in nonlinear systems and is neither preceded nor followed by another such disturbance; does not obey the superposition principle and does not dissipate; "soliton waves can travel long distances with little loss of energy or structure
- solitons
