nonlinear wave equations
Nonlinear wave equations refer to mathematical equations that describe the behavior of waves where the relationship between the wave's shape or amplitude and its propagation is not directly proportional or linear. Instead, the wave's behavior is influenced by nonlinear terms, which can lead to various nonlinear phenomena such as wave steepening, wave breaking, and the generation of harmonics.
