A dissipative soliton is a type of solitary wave packet that arises in nonlinear systems with dissipation, where energy is lost to the surroundings. These structures maintain their shape and stability over time despite the presence of dissipative processes, such as friction or radiation losses. Dissipative solitons are characterized by a balance between nonlinearity (which tends to focus or localize the wave) and dissipation (which tends to spread it out).
