8. Solitons in shallow water are modeled by the Korteweg-deVries equation, established in 1895, or, in the case of the two intersecting waves shown in Fig. 1, by a generalization of it due to Kadomtsev and Petviashvili (1970). A detailed discussion is given in H. Segur, A. Finkel, H. Philander: In Nonlinear Phenomena ed. by K.B. Wolf (Proc. Oaxtepec, Mexico 1982) Lecture Notes in Physics Vol. 189 (Springer, Berlin 1983),
9. The term "soliton" was invented by N.J. Zabusky and M.D. Kruskal (Phys. Rev. Lett. 15, 240 (1965) ). In a numerical solution to the Korteweg-deVries equation, Zabusky and Kruskal found particle-like stability in solitary waves which preserved their identity even through numerous interactions with one another.

43. Shortly after the discovery of the soliton self-frequency shift (F.M. Mitschke, L.F. Mollenauer: Opt. Lett. 11, 659 (1986)), the Raman effect was modeled in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with great precision by including a delayed nonlinear response
