Some open problems (Q5903174)

This conference proceedings covers a variety of topics, related by a common theme: solitons and coherent structures. An objective of this paper is to exhibit some of the relations between topics, by identifying some unsolved but well-defined problems that either were or might have been discussed during the conference, and by suggesting how they might be solved using methods that were discussed here. The problems were chosen to identify unifying themes, rather than to identify the most important problems in each area. The problems discussed come from quantum field theory, transonic flow, water waves, and the two-dimensional motion of a perfect fluid.
