We study the structure of the manifold of solitary waves in a particular three-component scalar field theoretical model in two-dimensional Minkowski space. These solitary waves involve one, two, three, four, six or seven lumps of energy.

The free interface separating an exterior, viscous fluid from an intrusive conduit of buoyant, less viscous fluid is known to support strongly nonlinear solitary waves due to a balance between viscosity-induced dispersion and buoyancy-induced nonlinearity. The overtaking, pairwise interaction of weakly nonlinear solitary waves has been classified theoretically for the Korteweg–de Vries equation...

We describe the kink solitary waves of a massive nonlinear sigma model with an S2 sphere as the target manifold. Our solutions form a moduli space of nonrelativistic solitary waves in the long wavelength limit of ferromagnetic linear spin chains.

We continue work by the second author and co-workers on solitary wave solutions of nonlinear beam equations and their stability and interaction properties. The equations are partial differential equations that are fourth-order in space and second-order in time. First, we highlight similarities between the intricate structure of solitary wave solutions for two different nonlinearities; a piecewi...

Large-amplitude waves at the interface between two laminar immisible inviscid streams of different densities and velocites, bounded together in a straight infinite channel are studied, when surface tension and gravity are both present. A long-wave approximation is used to develop a theory for fully nonlinear interfacial waves allowing amplitudes as large as the channel thickness. The result is ...

In this paper we study the generalized BO-ZK equation in two dimensions. We classify the existence and non-existence of solitary waves depending on the sign of the dispersions and on the nonlinearity. By using the approach introduced by Cazenave and Lions we study the nonlinear stability of solitary waves. We also prove some decay and regularity properties of such waves.

Periodic and solitary travelling-wave solutions of an extended reduced Ostrovsky equation are investigated. Attention is restricted to solutions that, for the appropriate choice of certain constant parameters, reduce to solutions of the reduced Ostrovsky equation. It is shown how the nature of the waves may be categorized in a simple way by considering the value of a certain single combination ...

Considered here is a model equation put forward by Benjamin that governs approximately the evolution of waves on the interface of a two-uid system in which surface tension eeects cannot be ignored. Our principal focus is the traveling-wave solutions called solitary waves, and three aspects will be investigated. A constructive proof of the existence of these waves together with a proof of their ...

where 3 depends’on the cross section area of the topography [see Miles’ Eqs. (5.2) and (5.3)‘]. A year later, VandenBroeck published his discovery of two smooth solitary wave solutions for the same physical model but from the perspective of direct numerical integration of Laplace equation with a free boundary and with nonlinear boundary conditions.2 One of his solitary waves is higher than the ...
