Nonlinear Wave Equations and Solitary Wave Solutions in Mathematical Physics

In this report, we study various nonlinear wave equations arising in mathematical physics and investigate the existence of solutions to these equations using variational methods. In particular, we look for particle-like traveling wave solutions known as solitary waves. This study is motivated by the...
