85 The assumption V(x) The assumption of a confining potential is necessary in order to identify the "position" of the soliton with the barycenter of the full system. If this assumption is violated, it is necessary to give a different definition of q(t), the "position" of the soliton. We get a similar result, but the technical part is more involved and we are still working on it. Vieri Benci (DMA-Pisa) Hylomorphic solitons 18th May / 50
