We study the solitary waves of fractional Korteweg-de Vries type equations, that are related to the $1$-dimensional semi-linear fractional equations: \begin{align*} \vert D \vert^\alpha u + u -f(u)=0, \end{align*} with $\alpha\in (0,2)$, a…
Wave-breaking is studied analytically first and the results are compared with accurate numerical simulations of 3D wave-breaking. We focus on the time dependence of various quantities becoming singular at the onset of breaking. The power…
Whether integrable, partially integrable or nonintegrable, nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) can be handled from scratch with essentially the same toolbox, when one looks for analytic solutions in closed form. The basic tool…
