Field Structure of a Quasisoliton Approaching the Critical Point

Resumo

Within the framework of an approximate approach based on the representation of the Gardnerequation solitons as compound structures (different-polarity kinks), the non-quasistationary evolution of such solitary waves, which is stipulated by the variable quadratic-nonlinearity parameter α. The structure of the composite soliton is studied in cases that are critical for the quasistationary description where the predicted increase in the solitary-wave scales becomes unbounded on finite spatio-temporal intervals. The dependence of the spatial scales of the quasisoliton-field distribution on the quadratic-nonlinearity coefficient near the critical point for the power-law time dependence α(t) is studied in detail. The obtained solution is compared with the results of direct numerical simulation of the Gardner equation with variable coefficients.
