Changing shapes: adiabatic dynamics of composite solitary waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the solitary wave solutions of a particular two-component scalar field model in twodimensional Minkowski space. These solitary waves involve one, two or four lumps of energy. The adiabatic motion of these composite non-linear non-dispersive waves points to variations in shape.

Composite solitary waves in three-component scalar field theory: II. Three-body low-energy scattering
We discuss time evolution of some solitary waves described in the first part of this work. The adiabatic motion of the non-linear non-dispersive waves composed of three lumps is interpreted as three-body low energy scattering of these particle-like kinks.
متن کاملThe Korteweg–de Vries equation: Its place in the development of nonlinear physics
Solitons or solitary waves are large-amplitude excitations with finite spatial widths 15 which are found in certain nonlinear systems and which can propagate over long distances without changing their shapes. Solitary waves also have the property that, although they may interact strongly with other solitary waves, they emerge from the interaction intact. The first report of the observation of a...
متن کاملSolitary-wave propagation and interactions for a sixth-order generalized Boussinesq equation
We study the solitary waves and their interaction for a six-order generalized Boussinesq equation (SGBE) both numerically and analytically. A shooting method with appropriate initial conditions, based on the phase plane analysis around the equilibrium point, is used to construct the solitary-wave solutions for this nonintegrable equation. A symmetric three-level implicit finite difference schem...
متن کاملFinite-wavelength stability of capillary-gravity solitary waves
We consider the Euler equations describing nonlinear waves on the free surface of a twodimensional inviscid, irrotational fluid layer of finite depth. For large surface tension, Bond number larger than 1=3, and Froude number close to 1, the system possesses a one-parameter family of small-amplitude, traveling solitary wave solutions. We show that these solitary waves are spectrally stable with ...
متن کاملEvolution of solitary waves and undular bores in shallow-water flows over a gradual slope with bottom friction
This paper considers the propagation of shallow-water solitary and nonlinear periodic waves over a gradual slope with bottom friction in the framework of a variablecoefficient Korteweg–de Vries equation. We use the Whitham averaging method, using a recent development of this theory for perturbed integrable equations. This general approach enables us not only to improve known results on the adia...
