摘要
A tutorial review is presented of the use of direct variational methods based on Rayleigh-Ritz optimization for finding approximate solutions to various nonlinear evolution equations. The practical application of the approach is demonstrated by some illustrative examples in connection with the nonlinear Schrodinger equation.
