We show that breather solutions of the Gardner equation, a natural generalization of the KdV and mKdV equations, are $H^2(\mathbb{R})$ stable. Through a variational approach, we characterize Gardner breathers as minimizers of a new Lyapunov…

In this article, we prove that a sum of solitons and breathers of the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation (mKdV) is orbitally stable. The orbital stability is shown in H^2. More precisely, we will show that if a solution of (mKdV) is close…

We are interested in stability results for breather solutions of the 5th, 7th and 9th order mKdV equations. We show that these higher order mKdV breathers are stable in $H^2(\R)$, in the same way as \emph{classical} mKdV breathers. We also…
We prove that the $N$-solitons, including breathers and multi-hump solitons, of the coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger (CNLS) equations are nonlinearly stable in the Sobolev space $H^{N}$. Moreover, $(N_{1},N_{2})$-solitons of the coupled…

In this article we prove the existence of a new family of periodic solutions for discrete, nonlinear Schrodinger equations subject to spatially localized driving and damping. They provide an alternate description of the metastable behavior…
The existence of breather type solutions, i.e., periodic in time, exponentially localized in space solutions, is a very unusual feature for continuum, nonlinear wave type equations. Following an earlier work [Comm. Math. Phys. {\bf 302},…
