Analytical solutions to classical non-linear wave equations and their quantum meaning

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

A number of particular solutions of a class of non-linear Klein-Gordon equations are analysed from the viewpoint of their usefulness as quantum bound states in many-body systems. Similarities and differences between quantum and classical solutions are discussed.
