Stability Analysis for Travelling Wave Solutions of the Olver and Fifth-Order KdV Equations

Nonlinear Stability of Solitary Travelling-wave Solutions for the Kawahara-kdv and Modified Kawahara-kdv Equations

In this paper we establish the nonlinear stability of solitary travelling-wave solutions for the Kawahara-KdV equation ut + uux + uxxx − γ1uxxxxx = 0, and the modified Kawahara-KdV equation ut + 3u 2ux + uxxx − γ2uxxxxx = 0, where γi ∈ R is a positive number when i = 1, 2. The main approach used to determine the stability of solitary travelling-waves will be the theory developed by Albert in [1].

Travelling Wave Solutions for the Painlevé-integrable Coupled Kdv Equations

We study the travelling wave solutions for a system of coupled KdV equations derived by Lou et al [11]. In that paper, they found 5 types of Painlevé integrable systems for the coupled KdV system. We show that each of them can be reduced to a partially or completely uncoupled system, through which the dynamical behavior of travelling wave solutions can be determined. In some parameter regions, ...

Low regularity solutions of two fifth-order KdV type equations

The Kawahara and modified Kawahara equations are fifth-order KdV type equations and have been derived to model many physical phenomena such as gravitycapillary waves and magneto-sound propagation in plasmas. This paper establishes the local well-posedness of the initial-value problem for Kawahara equation in H(R) with s > − 4 and the local well-posedness for the modified Kawahara equation in H(...

Stability of Compacton Solutions of Fifth-Order Nonlinear Dispersive Equations

We consider fifth-order nonlinear dispersive K(m,n, p) type equations to study the effect of nonlinear dispersion. Using simple scaling arguments we show, how, instead of the conventional solitary waves like solitons, the interaction of the nonlinear dispersion with nonlinear convection generates compactons the compact solitary waves free of exponential tails. This interaction also generates ma...
