Starting from a travelling wave ansatz we show successively that the shape of a nonlinear excitation generally depends also on the 1st, 2nd, ... time derivative of the position X of the excitation. From the Hamilton equations we derive a hierarchy of equations of motion for X. The type of the excitation determines on which levels the hierarchy can be truncated consistently: "Gyrotropic" excitations are governed by odd-order equations, non-gyrotropic ones by even-order equations. Examples for the latter case are kinks in 1-dimensional models and planar vortices of the 2D anisotropic (easy-plane) Heisenberg model. The non-planar vortices of this model are the simplest gyrotropic example. For this case we solve the Hamilton equations for a finite system with one vortex and free boundary conditions and calculate the parameters of the 3rd-order equation of motion. This equation yields trajectories which are a superposition of two cycloids with different frequencies, which is in full agreement with computer simulations of the full many-spin model. Finally we demonstrate that the additional effects from the 5th-order equation are negligible.
