Abstract
The mathematical investigation of the existence of solutions for the non-linearĀ (4.6) does not exhaust the problem of the physical interpretation of the corresponding classical field theory. For infinitely extended systems, in general not every solution is physically acceptable; one has to supplement the analysis of the possible solutions by a list of mathematical properties which the solutions must share in order to allow a physical interpretation.
