Asymptotic stability of Toda lattice solitons

چکیده
We establish an asymptotic stability result for Toda lattice soliton solutions, by making use of a linearized Bäcklund transformation whose domain has codimension one. Combining a linear stability result with a general theory of nonlinear stability by Friesecke and Pego for solitary waves in lattice equations, we conclude that all solitons in the Toda lattice are asymptotically stable in an exponentially weighted norm. In addition, we determine the complete spectrum of an operator naturally associated with the Floquet theory for these lattice solitons.

Asymptotic Stability of Lattice Solitons in the Energy Space
Orbital and asymptotic stability for 1-soliton solutions to the Toda lattice equations as well as small solitary waves to the FPU lattice equations are established in the energy space. Unlike analogous Hamiltonian PDEs, the lattice equations do not conserve momentum. Furthermore, the Toda lattice equation is a bidirectional model that does not fit in with existing theory for Hamiltonian system ...
متن کاملOn a family of solutions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation which also satisfy the Toda lattice hierarchy
We describe the interaction pattern in the x–y plane for a family of soliton solutions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation, (−4ut + uxxx + 6uux)x + 3uyy = 0. The solutions considered also satisfy the finite Toda lattice hierarchy. We determine completely their asymptotic patterns for y → ±∞, and we show that all the solutions (except the 1-soliton solution) are of resonant type, consist...
متن کاملSoliton-Mediated Electron Transfer and Electric Transport Arising from Coupling Electron Quantum Mechanics to Nonlinear Elasticity in Anharmonic Crystal Lattices
After recalling features of solitons in the Toda (more precisely an adapted Morse-Toda) lattice a succint discussion is provided about the stability of such solitons when the lattice is heated up to physiological temperatures for values of parameters typical of bio-macro-molecules. Then the discussion is focused on the soliton trapping of an added excess (originally free) electron thus creating...
متن کاملStability of the Periodic Toda Lattice in the Soliton Region
We apply the method of nonlinear steepest descent to compute the long-time asymptotics of the periodic (and slightly more generally of the quasi-periodic finite-gap) Toda lattice for decaying initial data in the soliton region. In addition, we show how to reduce the problem in the remaining region to the known case without solitons.
متن کاملAsymptotic Hamiltonian Dynamics: the Toda Lattice, the Three-wave Interaction and the Nonholonomic Chaplygin Sleigh
In this paper we discuss asymptotic stability in energy-preserving systems which have an almost Poisson structure. In particular we consider a class of Poisson systems which includes the Toda lattice. In standard Hamiltonian systems one of course does not expect asymptotic stability. The key here is the structure of the phase space of the Poisson or almost Poisson systems and the nature of the ...
