Abstract
We perform a numerical computation of multimeron solutions to the Yang-Mills equations. Assuming rotational symmetry about a fixed axis, multimeron field configurations are described by a single nonlinear partial differential equation over the complex plane. The covariance properties of this equation under Moebius transformations are discussed and used to simplify the numerical analysis. A variational procedure is then employed to evaluate the four-meron solutions and determine their properties.
