This paper concerns with the existence of solitons, namely stable solitary waves in the nonlinear beam equation (NBE) with a suitable nonlinearity. An equation of this type has been introduced by P.J. McKenna and W. Walter as a model of a suspension bridge. We prove both the existence of solitary waves for a large class of nonlinearities and their stability. As far as we know this is the first result about stability of solitary waves in NBE.
This paper studies the existence of solitons, namely stable solitary waves, in a suspension bridge. The bridge is modeled as a degenerate plate, that is, a central beam with cross sections, and displays two degrees of freedom: the vertical displacement of the beam and the torsional angles of the cross sections. Under fairy general assumptions, we prove the existence of solitons. Under the additional assumption of large tension in the sustaining cables, we prove that these solitons have a nontrivial torsional component. This appears relevant for the security since several suspension bridges col…
We prove the existence of global solutions to the DNLS equation with initial data in a large subset of $H^2(\mathbb R)\cap H^{1,1}(\mathbb R)$ containing a neighborhood of all solitons. We use the inverse scattering transform method, which was recently developed by D. Pelinovsky and Y. Shimabukuro, and an auto-Bäcklund transform in order to include solitons.
We are interested in solutions of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation (NLKG) in $\mathbb{R}^{1+d}$, $d\ge1$, which behave as a soliton or a sum of solitons in large time. In the spirit of other articles focusing on the supercritical generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations and on the nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equations, we obtain an $N$-parameter family of solutions of (NLKG) which converges exponentially fast to a sum of given (unstable) solitons. For $N = 1$, this family completely describes the set of solutions converging to the soliton considered; for $N\ge 2$, we prove uniqueness in a class …
In this article, we will analyze the existence of Peregrine type solutions for the fractional diffusion reaction equation by applying Splitting-type methods. These functions that have two main characteristics, they are direct sum of functions of periodic type and functions that tend to zero at infinity. Global existence results are obtained for each particular characteristic, for then finally combining both results.
We prove a threshold phenomenon for the existence of solitary solutions of the dispersion management equation for positive and zero average dispersion for a large class of nonlinearities. These solutions are found as minimizers of nonlinear and nonlocal variational problems which are invariant under a large non-compact group. There exists a threshold such that minimizers exist when the power of the solitons is bigger than the threshold. Our proof of existence of minimizers is rather direct and avoids the use of Lions' concentration compactness argument. The existence of dispersion managed soli…
We consider the logarithmic Schr{ö}dinger equation (logNLS) in the focusing regime. For this equation, Gaussian initial data remains Gaussian. In particular, the Gausson-a time-independent Gaussian function-is an orbitally stable solution. In this paper, we construct multi-solitons (or multi-Gaussons) for logNLS, with estimates in $H^1 \cap \mathcal{F} (H^1)$. We also construct solutions to logNLS behaving (in $L^2$) like a sum of $N$ Gaussian solutions with different speeds (which we call multi-gaussian). In both cases, the convergence (as $t \rightarrow \infty$) is faster than exponential. W…
We extend the global existence result for the derivative NLS equation to the case when the initial datum includes a finite number of solitons. This is achieved by an application of the Bäcklund transformation that removes a finite number of zeros of the scattering coefficient. By means of this transformation, the Riemann--Hilbert problem for meromorphic functions can be formulated as the one for analytic functions, the solvability of which was obtained recently.
