Abstract

A new problem-solving method for multi-agent systems and computer networks is proposed, which transforms the problem-solving process into the parallel solitary wave propagation process in non-linear space.This paper discusses the basic principle of the solitary wave method and proves its properties theoretically. Due to the paper length limitation, the algorithm based on solitary waves and simulations are given in other related papers. The theoretical analysis and practical experiments show the advantages of the proposed method in terms of the high-degree parallelism, the suitability for complex environment, and the powerful processing ability.
