Definition that contains superposition
- soliton wave (physics) a quantum of energy or quasiparticle that can be propagated as a traveling wave in nonlinear systems and is neither preceded nor followed by another such disturbance; does not obey the superposition principle and does not dissipate
- principle of superposition the displacement of any point due to the superposition of wave systems is equal to the sum of the displacements of the individual waves at that point
