We study the stability and dynamics of solitons in the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation in the presence of noise and deterministic forcing. The noise is space-dependent and statistically translation-invariant. We show that, for small…
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…
In this work, we consider the stability of solitons for the KdV equation below the energy space, using spatially-exponentially-weighted norms. Using a combination of the $I$-method and spectral analysis following Pego and Weinstein, we are…
We study the stability and dynamics of solitons in the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with small multiplicative forcing. Forcing breaks the conservative structure of the KdV equation, leading to substantial changes in energy over long…
The Korteweg-deVries (KdV) equation with step boundary conditions is considered, with an emphasis on soliton dynamics. When one or more initial solitons are of sufficient size they can propagate through the step; in this case the phase…
We study the dynamics of solitons as solutions to the perturbed KdV (pKdV) equation $\partial_t u = -\partial_x (\partial_x^2 u + 3u^2-bu)$, where $b(x,t) = b_0(hx,ht)$, $h\ll 1$ is a slowly varying, but not small, potential. We option an…
We consider KdV-type equations with $C^1$ nonhomogeneous nonlinearities and small dispersion $\varepsilon$. The first result consists in the conclusion that, in the leading term with respect to $\varepsilon$, the solitary waves in this…
We study long-time dynamics of small even perturbations of the soliton in 1D quadratic Klein-Gordon equation. The soliton possesses both an internal mode and the unstable mode. On a codimension-one manifold of fine-tuned initial data the…
The existence of ``dispersion-managed solitons'', i.e., stable pulsating solitary-wave solutions to the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with periodically modulated and sign-variable dispersion is now well known in nonlinear optics. Our…
Compactons are studied in the framework of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with the sublinear nonlinearity. Compactons represent localized bell-shaped waves of either polarity which propagate to the same direction as waves of the…
We study the dynamics of soliton solutions to the perturbed mKdV equation $\partial_t u = \partial_x(-\partial_x^2 u -2u^3) + \epsilon V u$, where $V\in \mathcal{C}^1_b(\mathbb{R})$, $0<\epsilon\ll 1$. This type of perturbation is…
Perturbations commonly added to the KdV equation contain terms that represent inelastic interac-tions among KdV solitons in multiple-soliton solutions. These terms trigger the emergence of new waves in the first-order correction to the…
We revisit the phenomenon of instability of solitons in the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation, $u_t + \partial_x(u_{xx} + u^p) = 0$. It is known that solitons are unstable for nonlinearities $p \geq 5$, with the critical power $p=5$…
We study the long-time stability of soliton solutions to the Korteweg-deVries equation. We consider solutions $u$ to the KdV with initial data in $H^s$, $0 \leq s < 1$, that are initially close in $H^s$ norm to a soliton. We prove that the…
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…
The small oscillations of solitons in 2D Bose-Einstein condensates are investigated by solving the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation which is valid when the velocity of the soliton approaches the speed of sound. We show that the soliton is…
In this paper we study the stability problem for KdV solitons on the left and right half-line. Unlike standard KdV, these are not exact solutions to the equations posed in the half-line. However, we are able to show that solitons placed…
