Differential equations are very popular mathematical models of real world problems. Not every differential equation has a well behaved solution. For those equations whose well behaved solutions exist, we are interested in how they can be computed. Thus, the computability of the solution operators for different types of nonlinear differential equations becomes one of the most exciting topics in ...

We show that the Ablowitz-Ladik equation, which is an integrable form of the discretized nonlinear Schrödinger equation, has rogue wave solutions in the form of the rational solutions. We show that there is a hierarchy of rational solutions and we derive the two lowest-order ones using the Hirota technique. More generally, we present rational solutions for the discrete Hirota equation which inc...

We establish the semiclassical limit of the one-dimensional defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Complete integrability is exploited to obtain a global characterization of the weak limits of the entire NLS hierarchy of conserved densities as the field evolves from reflectionless initial data under all the associated commuting flows. Consequently, this also establishes the zero...

This article concerns the nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries equation with boundary timedelay feedback. Under appropriate assumption on the coefficients of the feedbacks (delayed or not), we first prove that this nonlinear infinite dimensional system is well-posed for small initial data. The main results of our study are two theorems stating the exponential stability of the nonlinear time delay system...

The cnoidal wave solution of the integrable Korteweg de Vries equation is the most basic of its periodic solutions. Following earlier work where the linear stability of these solutions was established, we prove in this paper that cnoidal waves are (nonlinearly) orbitally stable with respect to so-called subharmonic perturbations: perturbations that are periodic with period any integer multiple ...

In this paper, we study the orbital stability for a four-parameter family of periodic stationary traveling wave solutions to the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (gKdV) equation ut = uxxx + f(u)x. In particular, we derive sufficient conditions for such a solution to be orbitally stable in terms of the Hessian of the classical action of the corresponding traveling wave ordinary differential equatio...
