It is successfully applied to the degenerate three-wave resonant interaction in a birefrigent quadratic medium where the process generates spatial gap solitons. No analytic expression is known for such nonlinear solitary waves showing the broad applicability of the method to nonlinear systems. %G English %Z GDR 3073 PhoNoMi2 %L hal-00510988 %U https://hal.science/hal-00510988 %~ IN2P3 %~ LPTA %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UNIV-LILLE %~ PHLAM %~ UM1-UM2
