28. Strictly speaking, for nonvanishing boundary conditions, one has to redefine the integrals of motion [see, for example, E. A. Kuznetsov and J. J. Rasmussen, Phys. Rev. E 51, 4479 (1995)]. However, since the vortex solitons can be created as superimpositions upon a localized field background, the convergence of integrals is ensured, and consequently renormalization is not needed. But in our case we consider that the infinite-extent solution is just a formal approximation — the physical solutions will decay at infinity due to the presence of a very small fraction of ions (see Ref. 7).
