We derive a family of singular iterated maps--closely related to Poincare maps--that describe chaotic interactions between colliding solitary waves. The chaotic behavior of such solitary wave collisions depends on the transfer of energy to…

Wave scattering in chaotic systems can be characterized by its spectrum of resonances, $z_n=E_n-i\frac{\Gamma_n}{2}$, where $E_n$ is related to the energy and $\Gamma_n$ is the decay rate or width of the resonance. If the corresponding ray…
