We study existence of helical solitons in the vector modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equations, one of which is integrable, whereas another one is non-integrable. The latter one describes nonlinear waves in various physical systems,…
In this work, we primarily focus on the two-phase solutions and their stability to the focusing mKdV equation. By employing the algebro-geometric approach in combination with an effective integration method, we construct explicit two-phase…
