Nonexistence of soliton-like solutions for defocusing generalized KdV equations

Soonsik Kwon, Shuanglin Shao

Abstract:
We consider the global dynamics of the defocusing generalized KdV equation
$$
 \partial_t u + \partial_x^3 u = \partial_x(|u|^{p-1}u).
 $$
We use Tao's theorem [5] that the energy moves faster than the mass to prove a moment type dispersion estimate. As an application of the dispersion estimate, we show that there is no soliton-like solutions with a certain decaying assumption.
