Several explicit, self-similar solutions are found. They describe interesting dynamical processes, for example, `freezing' a string in a static configuration.17 pages, 4 figuresHigh Energy Physics - TheoryMathematical PhysicsExactly Solvable and Integrable SystemsSelf-similarity for V-shaped field potentials - further examplestext
