Scattering and Trapping of Nonlinear Schroedinger Solitons in External   Potentials
  Soliton motion in some external potentials is studied using the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. Solitons are scattered by a potential wall. Solitons propagate almost freely or are trapped in a periodic potential. The critical kinetic energy for reflection and trapping is evaluated approximately with a variational method.
