Asymptotic K-soliton-like Solutions of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov type equations

Abstract

We study here the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in dimension $2$ and $3$ and the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in dimension $2$. Those equations admit solitons, characterized by their velocity and their shift. Given the parameters of $K$ solitons $R^k$ (with distinct velocities), we prove the existence and uniqueness of a multi-soliton $u$ such that $\left\| u- \sum_{k=1}^K R^k \right\|_{H^1}\rightarrow 0 $ as $t \rightarrow +\infty$. The convergence takes place in $H^s$ with an exponential rate for all $s\geq 0$. The construction is made by successive approximations of the multi-soliton. We use classical arguments to control of $H^1$-norms of the errors (inspired by Martel [21]), and introduce a new ingredient for the control of the $H^s$-norm in dimension $d \geq2$, by a technique close to monotonicity.
