Abstract

In this paper we discuss mathematical variants in higher dimensions of the KdV and the KP equations. It is shown that the focusing branches of these variants exhibit compactons: solitons with finite wavelength, whereas the defocusing branches support solitary patterns solutions with infinite slopes or cusps. The study presents a fairly complete understanding of the compact and noncompact dispersive structures.
