Roughly speaking a solitary wave is a solution of a field equation whose energy travels as a localized packet; by soliton, we mean a solitary wave which exhibits some form of stability. In this respect solitary waves and solitons have a particle-like behavior and they occur in many questions of mathematical physics, such as superconductivity, phase transition, classical and quantum field theory, non linear optics, (see e.g. [37], [50], [56]). We are not interested in the study of a particular...
