Bridging the Rural Digital Divide

The McGraw - Hill Companies “ Solitons in Electrical Networks ”

Solitons are a unique class of pulse-shaped waves that propagate in nonlinear dispersive media. In the course of propagation, they maintain spatial confinement of wave energy within the pulse shape without dispersion and exhibit remarkable nonlinear dynamics. Solitons are found throughout nature where fine balance between nonlinearity and dispersion is achieved. Dispersion alone would flatten o...
