Nonlinear stability of mKdV breathers

MA Alejo, C Muñoz - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2013 - Springer
Breather solutions of the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation are shown to be globally
stable in a natural H 2 topology. Our proof introduces a new Lyapunov functional, at the H 2 …

[HTML][HTML] On the variational structure of breather solutions I: Sine-Gordon equation

MA Alejo, C Muñoz, JM Palacios - Journal of Mathematical Analysis and …, 2017 - Elsevier
In this paper we describe stability properties of the Sine-Gordon breather solution. These
properties are first described by suitable variational elliptic equations, which also implies …

Dynamics of complex-valued modified KdV solitons with applications to the stability of breathers

M Alejo, C Munoz - Analysis & PDE, 2015 - msp.org
We study the long-time dynamics of complex-valued modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV)
solitons, which are distinguished because they blow up in finite time. We establish stability …

On the variational structure of breather solutions II: Periodic mKdV equation

MA Alejo, C Munoz, JM Palacios - 2017 - repositorio.uchile.cl
We study the periodic modified KdV equation, where a periodic in space and time breather
solution is known from the work of Kevrekidis et al.[19]. We show that these breathers satisfy …

MA Alejo - Journal of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics, 2012 - Springer
Abstract Using the Inverse Scattering Method with a nonvanishing boundary condition, we
obtain an explicit breather solution with nonzero vacuum parameter b of the focusing …

[HTML][HTML] On the ill-posedness of the Gardner equation

MA Alejo - Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2012 - Elsevier
We present ill-posedness results for the initial value problem (IVP) for the Gardner equation.

Quasi-geostrophic shallow-water doubly-connected vortex equilibria and their stability

H Płotka, DG Dritschel - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013 - cambridge.org
We examine the form, properties, stability and evolution of doubly-connected (two-vortex)
relative equilibria in the single-layer mode. We also find that although conservative inviscid …

Nonlinear stability of breather solutions to the coupled modified Korteweg-de Vries equations

This paper is concerned with the coupled modified Korteweg-de Vries (cmKdV) equations.
We derive infinite conservation laws through the Lax pair of the cmKdV equations. Through …
