L²-stability of solitary waves for the KdV equation via Pego and Weinstein's method

الأصل · EN

In this article, we will prove L²(R)-stability of 1-solitons for the KdV equation by using exponential stability property of the semigroup generated by the linearized operator. The proof follows the lines of recent stability argument of Mizumachi [Asymptotic stability of lattice solitons in the energy space, Comm. Math. Phys., (2009)] and Mizumachi, Pego and Quintero [Asymptotic stability of solitary waves in the Benney-Luke model of water waves, Differential Integral Equations, (2013)] which show stability in the energy class by using strong linear stability of solitary waves in exponentially weighted spaces. This gives an alternative proof of Merle and Vega [L² stability of solitons for KdV equation, Int. Math. Res. Not., (2003)] which shows L²(R)-stability of 1-solitons for the KdV equation by using the Miura transformation. Our argument is a refinement of Pego and Weinstein [Asymptotic stability of solitary waves, Comm. Math. Phys., (1994)] that proves asymptotic stability of solitary waves in exponentially weighted spaces. We slightly improve the H¹-stability of the modified KdV equation as well.
