Abstract
Solitons are special solutions of certain nonlinear partial differential equations of mathematical physics. They exhibit properties that are partly similar to the solutions of the linear wave equation and partly similar to the behaviour of colliding particles. Their characteristic features are well-known in the mathematical literature but few closed-form solutions are available. This contribution derives algorithmic structures for the computation of solitons in a dimensionless space-time domain which can be scaled to the audio frequency range. The investigations are confined to first and second order solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Sound examples show that the effects of wave propagation and soliton interaction can be represented by audible events.
