Abstract
The aim of this work is to study asymptotically and numerically the interaction of solitons with an external forcing with variable speed using the forced modified Korteweg-de Vries equation (mKdV). We show that the asymptotic predictions agree well with numerical solutions for forcing with constant speed and linear variable speed. Regarding forcing with linear variable speed, we find regimes in which the solitons are trapped at the external forcing and its amplitude increases or decreases in time depending on whether the forcing accelerates or decelerates.
