(m)KdV Solitons on the Background of Quasi-Periodic Finite-Gap Solutions
Share this pageFritz Gesztesy; Roman Svirsky
Using commutation methods, the authors present a general formalism to construct Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) \(N\)-soliton solutions relative to arbitrary (m)KdV background solutions. As an illustration of these techniques, the authors combine them with algebro-geometric methods and Hirota's \(\tau\)-function approach to systematically derive the (m)KdV \(N\)-soliton solutions on quasi-periodic finite-gap backgrounds.
