Breather lattice and its stabilization for the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation

Pattern Formation and Solitons 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We obtain an exact solution for the breather lattice solution of the modified Korteweg-de Vries (MKdV) equation. Numerical simulation of the breather lattice demonstrates its instability due to the breather-breather interaction. However, such multi-breather structures can be stabilized through the concurrent application of ac driving and viscous damping terms.
