We study the interactions of two or more solitons in the Adlam-Allen model describing the evolution of a (cold) plasma of positive and negative charges, in the presence of electric and transverse magnetic fields. In order to show that the interactions feature an exponentially repulsive nature, we elaborate two distinct approaches: (a) using energetic considerations and the Hamiltonian structure of the model; (b) using the so-called Manton method. We compare these findings with results of direct simulations, and identify adjustments necessary to achieve a quantitative match between them. Additional connections are made, such as with solitons of the Korteweg--de Vries equation. Future challenges are also mentioned in connection to this model and its solitary waves.

We consider the Adlam-Allen (AA) system of partial differential equations which, arguably, is the first model that was introduced to describe solitary waves in the context of propagation of hydrodynamic disturbances in collisionless plasmas. Here, we identify the solitary waves of the model by implementing a dynamical systems approach. The latter suggests that the model also possesses periodic wave solutions --which reduce to the solitary wave in the limiting case of infinite period-- as well as rational solutions which are obtained herein. In addition, employing a long-wave approximation via a relevant multiscale expansion method, we establish the asymptotic reduction of the AA system to the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Such a reduction, is not only another justification for the above solitary wave dynamics, but also may offer additional insights for the emergence of other possible plasma waves. Direct numerical simulations are performed for the study of multiple solitary waves and their pairwise interactions. The stability of solitary waves is discussed in terms of potentially relevant criteria, while the robustness of spatially periodic wave solutions is touched upon by our numerical experiments.
We study asymptotic stability of solitary wave solutions in the one-dimensional Benney-Luke equation, a formally valid approximation for describing two-way water wave propagation. For this equation, as for the full water wave problem, the classic var iational method for proving orbital stability of solitary waves fails dramatically due to the fact that the second variation of the energy-momentum functional is infinitely indefinite. We establish nonlinear stability in energy norm under the spectral stability hypothesis that the linearization admits no non-zero eigenvalues of non-negative real part. We also verify this hypothesis for waves of small energy.
We consider the interplay between nonlocal nonlinearity and randomness for two different nonlinear Schrodinger models. We show that stability of bright solitons in presence of random perturbations increases dramatically with the nonlocality-induced f inite correlation length of the noise in the transverse plane, by means of both numerical simulations and analytical estimates. In fact, solitons are practically insensitive to noise when the correlation length of the noise becomes comparable to the extent of the wave packet. We characterize soliton stability using two different criteria based on the evolution of the Hamiltonian of the soliton and its power. The first criterion allows us to estimate a time (or distance) over which the soliton preserves its form. The second criterion gives the life-time of the solitary wave packet in terms of its radiative power losses. We derive a simplified mean field approach which allows us to calculate the power loss analytically in the physically relevant case of weakly correlated noise, which in turn serves as a lower estimate of the life-time for correlated noise in general case.

By combining results of Mizumachi on the stability of solitons for the Toda lattice with a simple rescaling and a careful control of the KdV limit we give a simple proof that small amplitude, long-wavelength solitary waves in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FP U) model are linearly stable and hence by the results of Friesecke and Pego that they are also nonlinearly, asymptotically stable.
We discuss the solitary wave solutions of a particular two-component scalar field model in two-dimensional Minkowski space. These solitary waves involve one, two or four lumps of energy. The adiabatic motion of these composite non-linear non-dispersive waves points to variations in shape.
