Classical and quantum nonlinear integrable systems: theory and applications

A Kundu9780750309592, 0750309598

Covering both classical and quantum models, nonlinear integrable systems are of considerable theoretical and practical interest, with applications over a wide range of topics, including water waves, pin models, nonlinear optics, correlated electron systems, plasma physics, and reaction-diffusion processes. Comprising one part on classical theories and applications and another on quantum aspects, Classical and Quantum Nonlinear Integrable Systems: Theory and Application reviews the advances made in nonlinear integrable systems, with emphasis on the underlying concepts rather than technical details. It forms an outstanding introductory textbook as well as a useful reference for specialists.
