We introduced solitons as the solutions to a nonlinear (wave) equation, where the
nonlinearity and the dispersion balance each other out, so that there exists a stable
but nontrivial solution. The way how one usually obtains such field equations in
physics is by using the principle of least action, which states that the path a physical
system takes, is the one that minimizes the action: \delta S = 0.
