This book, which tends to connect mathematical results and phenomenological modeling, should promote the transfer of information between the various communities concerned with nonlinear waves. Graduate students and researchers in the fields of pure and applied mathematics, nonlinear optics, plasma physics, hydrodynamics, and magnetohydrodynamics will find this book useful.
