In this paper we prove the existence of hylomorphic solitons in the generalized KdV equation. A soliton is called hylomorphic if it is a solitary wave whose stability is due to a particular relation between energy and another integral of…
We consider the KP-I and gKP-I equations in $\mathbb{R}\times (\mathbb{R}/2\pi \mathbb{Z})$. We prove that the KdV soliton with subcritical speed $0<c<c^*$ is orbitally stable under the global KP-I flow constructed by Ionescu and Kenig…

The KP-I equation arises as a weakly nonlinear model equation for gravity-capillary waves with Bond number $\beta>1/3$, also called strong surface tension. This equation has recently been shown to have a family of nondegenerate, symmetric…
We establish a smoothing result for the generalized KdV (gKdV) on the torus with polynomial non-linearity, damping, and forcing that matches the smoothing level for the gKdV at $H^1$. As a consequence, we establish the existence of a global…
We revise the solutions of the forced Korteweg-de Vries equation describing a resonant interaction of a solitary wave with external pulse-type perturbations. In contrast to previous works where only the limiting cases of a very narrow…

The Korteweg-de Vries equation u_t+uu_x+u_{xxx}=0 is PT symmetric (invariant under space-time reflection). Therefore, it can be generalized and extended into the complex domain in such a way as to preserve the PT symmetry. The result is the…
The inhomogeneous wave equations for the scalar, vector, and Hertz potentials are derived starting from retarded charge, current, and polarization densities and then solved in the reciprocal (or k-) space to obtain general solutions, which…
