Soliton interactions on a boussinesq type equation with a linear restoring force

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We study the propagation and interaction of solitons modeled by the equation governing the flexural deformation of an elastic rod on elastic foundation (EREFE). The model equation is only of fourth order, but because of the presence of the linear restoring force, it exhibits some of the phenomenology of the 6GBE, especially when the nonmonotonic shapes are concerned. To do that, we apply the Christov spectral method in L 2(-∞,∞). Initially, we solve the problem in the moving frame and consider the obtained solutions as initial condition for the time dependant problem and study the propagation and interaction of solitons.
