Initial value problem of nonlinear KdV-Schrödinger system

Abstract

The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is a mathematical model that describes the propagation of long waves in dispersive media. It takes into account both nonlinearity and dispersion, and is particularly useful for modeling phenomena like solitons. The Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation models the dynamics of narrow-bandwidth wave packets consisting of short dispersive waves. It is a useful model for describing many physical systems, including Bose-Einstein condensates, optical fibers, and water waves. A system that couples the KdV and NLS equations can model the interaction of long and short waves. This system combines the strengths of both models. The long waves described by the KdV equation can affect the behavior of the short waves described by the NLS equation, while the short waves can in turn affect the behavior of the long waves. Such a coupled system has been studied extensively over the last few decades, and has led to important insights into many physical systems. This paper considers the existence of local solutions to the Cauchy problem of KdV-Schrödinger nonlinear system on the basis of literature (Bernard D, Nghiem V N, Benjamin L S <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8113/49/41/415501">2016 <i>J.
