Hylomorphic solitons

This paper is devoted to the study of solitary waves and solitons whose existence is related to the ratio energy/charge. These solitary waves are called hylomorphic. This class includes the Q-balls, which are spherically symmetric solutions of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation (NKG), as well as solitary waves and vortices which occur, by the same mechanism, in the nonlinear Schroedinger equation and in gauge theories. This paper is devoted to the study of hylomorphic soliton. Mainly we will be interested in the very general principles which are at the base of their existence such as the Variational Principle, the Invariance Principle, the Noether theorem, the Hamilton-Jacobi theory etc. We give a general definition of hylomorphic solitons and an interpretation of their nature (swarm interpretation) which is very helpful in understanding their behavior. We apply these ideas to the Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation (NS) and to the Nonlinear Klein-Gordon Equation (NKG) repectively

Solitons in Schr\"odinger-Maxwell equations

In this paper we study the Nonlinear Schr\"odinger-Maxwell equations (NSM). We are interested to analyse the existence of solitons, namely of finite energy solutions which exhibit stability properties. This paper is divided in two parts. In the first, we give an abstract definition of soliton and we develope an abstract existence theory. In the second, we apply this theory to NSM.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1212.323

Hylomorphic solitons on lattices

This paper is devoted to prove the existence of solitons on lattices. We are interested in solitary waves and solitons whose existence is related to the ratio energy/charge. These solitary waves are called hylomorphic. This class includes the Q-balls, which are spherically symmetric solutions of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation, as well as solitary waves and vortices which occur, by the same mechanism, in the nonlinear Schroedinger equation and in gauge theories. In this paper we prove an abstract existence theorem which applies to many situations already considered in the literature and also to the nonlinear Schroedinger (and Klein-Gordon) equations defined on a lattice.Comment: 28 page

Generalized Functions Beyond Distributions

Ultrafunctions are a particular class of functions defined on a Non Archimedean field R^{*}\supset R. They have been introduced and studied in some previous works ([1],[2],[3]). In this paper we introduce a modified notion of ultrafunction and we discuss sistematically the properties that this modification allows. In particular, we will concentrated on the definition and the properties of the operators of derivation and integration of ultrafunctions.Comment: 29 pages, Keywords: Ultrafunctions, Delta function, distributions, Non Archimedean Mathematics, Non Standard Analysis. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1302.715
