Contribution

It provides new insights into how solitons behave and evolve, especially their approximation by point particle dynamics under certain conditions.

Findings

Solitons exist and are stable under specific conditions.

Energy and Charge critically influence soliton behavior.

Solitons approximately follow point particle dynamics.

Abstract

In this paper we present some recent results concerning the ex- istence, the stability and the dynamics of solitons occurring in the nonlinear Schroedinger equation when the parameter h -> 0. We focus on the role played by the Energy and the Charge in the existence, the stability and the dynamics of solitons. Moreover, we show that, under suitable assumptions, the soliton approximately follows the dynamics of a point particle.
