Derrick's theorem is an argument due to a physicist G.H. Derrick which shows that stationary localized solutions to a nonlinear wave equation or nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation in spatial dimensions three and higher are unstable. ==Original argument== Derrick's paper, which was considered an obstacle to interpreting soliton-like solutions as particles, contained the following physical argument about non-existence of stable localized stationary solutions to the nonlinear wave equation :, now known under the name of Derrick's Theorem. (Above, is a differentiable function with .) The energy of the time-independent solution is given by : A necessary condition for the solution to be stable is . Suppose is a localized solution of . Define where is an arbitrary constant, and write , . Then : Whence , and since , : That is, for a variation corresponding to a uniform stretching of the ''particle''. Hence the solution is unstable. The above argument also works for , . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Derrick's theorem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
