Soliton and Periodic solutions of the Short Pulse Model Equation

Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems 2009-12-15 v1

Abstract

The short pulse (SP) equation is a novel model equation describing the propagation of ultra-short optical pulses in nonlinear media. This article reviews some recent results about the SP equation. In particular, we focus our attention on its exact solutions. By using a newly developed method of solution, we derive multisoliton solutions as well as 1-and 2-phase periodic solutions and investigate their properties.
