We study dispersion for the defocusing gKdV equation. It is expected that it is not possible for the bulk of the $L^2-$mass to concentrate in a small interval for a long time. We study a variance-type functional exploiting Tao's…
This paper presents a complete description of the interaction of two solitons with nearly equal speeds for the quartic (gKdV) equation. By constructing an approximate solution of the problem, we prove that at the main order, the two…
We present a detailed numerical study of solutions to the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in three spatial dimensions. The equation is a three-dimensional generalization of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, though, not completely integrable. This…
For the focusing energy critical wave equation in 5D, we construct a solution showing the inelastic nature of the collision of any two solitons, except the special case of two solitons of same scaling and opposite signs. Beyond its own…
In this paper we prove that the defocusing, mass - critical generalized KdV initial value problem is globally well-posed and scattering for $u_{0} \in L^{2}(\mathbf{R})$. We prove this via a concentration compactness argument.
We study a car-following model of traffic flow which assumes only that a car's acceleration depends on its own speed, the headway ahead of it, and the rate of change of headway, with only minimal assumptions about the functional form of…
We construct the 'threshold manifold' near the soliton for the mass critical gKdV equation, completing results obtained in arXiv:1204.4625 and arXiv:1204.4624. In a neighborhood of the soliton, this C1 manifold of codimension one separates…
An alternative way for the derivation of the new KdV-type equation is presented. The equation contains terms depending on the bottom topography (there are six new terms in all, three of which are caused by the unevenness of the bottom). It…
We consider the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation in the supercritical case, and we are interested in solutions which converge to a soliton in large time in H^1. In the subcritical case, such solutions are forced to be exactly solitons…
We prove the nonlinear stability of the KdV solitary waves considered as solutions of the KP-II equation, with respect to periodic transverse perturbations.
We investigate the interaction of solitons with an external periodic field within the framework of the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation. In the case of small perturbation a simple dynamical system is used to describe the soliton…
We investigate the dynamics of travelling oscillating solitons of the cubic NLS equation under an external spatiotemporal forcing of the form $f(x,t) = a \exp[iK(t)x]$. For the case of time-independent forcing a stability criterion for…
This article is a brief review of the results of studying the collapse of sound waves in media with positive dispersion, which is described in terms of the three-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation. The KP instability of…
In this paper, we prove stability or instability of solitons for the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation at every frequency. The monotonicity conjecture raised by Killip, Oh, Pocovnicu and Visan is resolved. We introduce and solve…
In this paper the stability of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is investigated. It is shown analytically and numerically that small perturbations of solutions of the KdV-equation introduce effects of dispersion, hence the perturbation…
We present a detailed numerical study of solutions to the (generalized) Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in two spatial dimensions with various power nonlinearities. In the $L^{2}$-subcritical case, numerical evidence is presented for the…
We consider a randomly perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation. The perturbation is a random potential depending both on space and time, with a white noise behavior in time, and a regular, but stationary behavior in space. We investigate the…
We make two observations concerning the generalised Korteweg de Vries equation $u_t + u_{xxx} = \mu (|u|^{p-1} u)_x$. Firstly we give a scaling argument that shows, roughly speaking, that any quantitative scattering result for…
We consider the problem of the soliton propagation, in a slowly varying medium, for a generalized, variable-coefficients nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. We prove existence and uniqueness of new soliton-like solutions for a large class of…
Dispersion-managed solitons are reviewed within a Gaussian variational approximation and an integral evolution model. In the normal regime of the dispersion map (when the averaged path dispersion is negative), there are two solitons of…
