Solitary Wave Interactions In Dispersive Equations Using Manton's Approach
P. G. Kevrekidis, Avinash Khare, A. Saxena
Abstract
We generalize the approach first proposed by Manton [Nuc. Phys. B 150, 397 (1979)] to compute solitary wave interactions in translationally invariant, dispersive equations that support such localized solutions. The approach is illustrated using as examples solitons in the Korteweg-de Vries equation, standing waves in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and kinks as well as breathers of the sine-Gordon equation.
