    Convergence of periodic wavetrains in the limit of large wavelength

    The Korteweg-de Vries equation was originally derived as a model for unidirectional propagation of water waves. This equation possesses a special class of traveling-wave solutions corresponding to surface soli...

    A model system for strong interaction between internal solitary waves

    A mathematical theory is mounted for a complex system of equations derived by Gear and Grimshaw that models the strong interaction of two-dimensional, long, internal gravity waves propagating on neighboring py...

    Long Wave Approximations for Water Waves

    In this paper, we obtain new nonlinear systems describing the interaction of long water waves in both two and three dimensions. These systems are symmetric and conservative. Rigorous convergence results are pr...

    Dispersive blow-up II. Schrödinger-type equations, optical and oceanic rogue waves

    Addressed here is the occurrence of point singularities which owe to the focusing of short or long waves, a phenomenon labeled dispersive blow-up. The context of this investigation is linear and nonlinear, str...

    Numerical Study of the Second-Order Correct Hamiltonian Model for Unidirectional Water Waves

    Second-order correct versions of the usual KdV–BBM models for unidirectional propagation of long-crested, surface water waves are considered here. The class of models studied here has a Hamiltonian structure a...
