We study the Cauchy problem for the defocusing modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation with step-like initial data approaching nonzero constants $c_l$ and $c_r$ as $x \to -\infty$ and $x\to+\infty$, respectively. Assuming $c_l>c_r>0$,…

It is commonly held that a necessary condition for the existence of solitons in nonlinear-wave systems is that the soliton's frequency (spatial or temporal) must not fall into the continuous spectrum of radiation modes. However, this is not…

We consider solutions of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations (gKdV) which are non dispersive in some sense (in the spirit of [18]) and which remain close to multi-solitons. We show that these solutions are necessarily pure…
