Existence of dipoles of Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system

In this paper, we study the long time behavior of solutions of Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system. We show that there exists a solution with special characteristics, which we shall refer to as a dipole solution, that is, there exists a solution $\vec{u}$ such that $$\left\|\vec{u}(t)-\sum_{k=1}^{2}\vec{R}_{k}\right\|_{X} \to 0 \, \, \text{as}\, \, t\to \infty,$$ where $\vec{R}_{k}$ represents a solitary wave for each $k$, with a translation $z_k$ with respect to its position, satisfying that $$|z_1(t)-z_2(t)| \sim 2\log(t)\, \, \text{as} \, \, t\to \infty.$$ Our approach will initially focus on the spectral analysis of the Hamiltonian operator associated with our system. Subsequently, we aim to establish a coercivity estimate that will allow us to derive conditions ensuring the existence of our solution. It is important to note that, in this problem, our objective is to obtain approximate solutions by solving a final data problem. These approximate solutions will then be used, through uniform estimates and compactness results, to derive the desired conclusions via density arguments.

Studies on a system of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with potential and quadratic interaction

In this work, we study the existence of various classes of standing waves for a nonlinear Schrödinger system with quadratic interaction, along with a harmonic or partially harmonic potential. We establish the existence of ground-state normalized solutions for this system, which serve as local minimizers of the associated functionals. To address the difficulties raised by the potential term, we employ profile decomposition and concentration-compactness principles. The absence of global energy minimizers in critical and supercritical cases leads us to focus on local energy minimizers. Positive results arise in scenarios of partial confinement, attributed to the spectral properties of the associated linear operators. Furthermore, we demonstrate the existence of a second normalized solution using Mountain-pass geometry, effectively navigating the difficulties posed by the nonlinear terms. We also explore the asymptotic behavior of local minimizers, revealing connections with unique eigenvectors of the linear operators. Additionally, we identify global and blow-up solutions over time under specific conditions, contributing new insights into the dynamics of the system.

Multi-soliton solutions of Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system

In this study, we investigate the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system with a focus on identifying multi-soliton solutions. Specifically, for a given number $N$ of solitons, we demonstrate the existence of a multi-soliton solution that asymptotically converges, in the energy space, to the sum of these solitons. Our proof extends and builds upon the previous results in \cite{cote, cotem, IA} concerning the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the generalized Klein-Gordon equation. In contrast to the method used in \cite{cotem} to establish the existence of multi-solitons for the Klein-Gordon equation, where the difficulty arises from the directions imposed by the coercivity property, requiring the identification of eigenfunctions of the coercivity operator to derive new control estimates, the structure of the present system allows for a more refined result. Specifically, the directional constraints can be eliminated by employing orthogonality arguments derived from localization and modulation techniques.

Multi-solitons of one-dimensional Boussinesq equation

The existence of multi-speed solitary waves for the one-dimensional good Boussinesq equation with a power nonlinearity is proven. These solutions are shown to behave at large times as a pair of scalar solitary waves traveling at different speeds. Both subcritical and supercritical cases are treated. The proof is based on the construction of approximations of the multi-speed solitary waves by solving an equivalent system backward in time and using energy methods to obtain uniform estimates.
