Abstract

We consider the following class of equations of (gKdV) type tu+x(x2u+up1u)=0,p\mboxinteger,t,xR\partial_t u + \partial_x (\partial_x^2 u + |u|^{p-1}u) = 0, \quad p\mbox{ integer},\quad t,x \in \mathbb{R} with mass sub-critical (2<p<52< p<5) and mass super-critical nonlinearities (p>5p> 5). We prove the existence of 2-solitary wave solutions with logarithmic relative distance, i.e. solutions u(t)u(t) satisfying u(t)(Q(tlog(ct))+σQ(t+log(ct)))H10  \mboxas  t+,\left\|u(t)- \bigg( Q (\cdot - t - \log (ct)) + \sigma Q (\cdot - t + \log (ct))\bigg)\right\|_{H^1}\to 0 \ \ \mbox{as} \ \ t\to +\infty, where c=c(p)>0c=c(p)> 0 is a fixed constant, σ=1\sigma = -1 in sub-critical cases and σ=1\sigma = 1 in super-critical cases. For the integrable case (p=3p=3), such solution was known by integrability theory. This regime corresponds to strong attractive interactions. For sub-critical pp, it was known that opposite sign traveling waves are attractive. For super-critical pp, we derive from our computations that same sign traveling waves are attractive.
