Solitons in such systems can survive in the presence of a weak potential but only with energies out of the interval of existence of linear quantum mechanical stationary states.engDissipative Solitons that Cannot be Trappedjournal articlehttp://prl.aps.org/browseopen access515.1SolitonsTunnelingJosephson effectBose-Einstein condensates in periodic potentialsVortices and topological excitationsOptical solitonsNonlinear guided wavesTopología1210 Topología
