15. The inertial mass of a fluxon can be calculated as (Formula presented)Notations are explained in Sec. II. For typical LJJ parameters the mass is (Formula presented) where (Formula presented) is the mass of the electron. The fluxon velocity can have the values from zero up to the so-called Swihart velocity (Formula presented) (see Sec. II), which is usually 20–40 times smaller than the speed of light.
