Non-linearity and self-similarity: patterns and clusters

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We introduce a qualitative similarity analysis, which yields relations between the geometry and kinematics of traveling localized solutions, associated to certain non-linear equations. This method predicts the existence of solitons, compactons, doublets, triplets, as well as other non-linear patterns. A finite supported wavelet-like frame is constructed in terms of compacton kink–antikink (KAK) solutions.
