Solitons and volume preserving flow

Solitons arise as solutions to non-linear partial differential equations. These equations are only analytically solvable in very few special cases. Other solutions must be found numerically. A useful technique for obtaining static solutions is gradient flow. Gradient flow evolution is in a direction...
