Abstract We investigate solitons in the Peyrard–Bishop model of a DNA molecule using Renormalization Group methods which provide a systematic way for perturbation analysis. Small amplitude expansion is carried out in both the continuous and discrete limits. We review exact solutions for the continuous model. Further, we discuss the reliability of the solitonic solutions and argue that the envelope should propagate with a group velocity, contrary to previous proposals.

The renormalization group (RG) method developed by Ken Wilson more than four decades ago has revolutionized the way we think about problems involving a broad range of energy scales such as phase transitions, turbulence, continuum limits and bifurcations in dynamical systems. The Theme Issue provides articles reviewing recent progress made using the RG method in atomic, condensed matter, nuclear and particle physics. In the following, we introduce these articles in a way that emphasizes common themes and the universal aspects of the method.
