The Korteweg-De Vries (KdV) equation is a paradigmatic model of integrable classical fields, admitting solitoning solutions. When many solitons are near to each other, their shapes are modified, and it is not manifest, from the KdV field,…

Roughly speaking a solitary wave is a solution of a field equation whose energy travels as a localised packet and which preserves this localisation in time. A soliton is a solitary wave which exhibits some strong form of stability so that…
Under certain mode-matching conditions, small-amplitude waves can be trapped by coupling to solitons of nonlinear fields. We present a model for this phenomenon, consisting of a linear equation coupled to the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The…
