Resumen de On decompositions of the KdV 2-Soliton

N. Benes, A. Kasman, K. Young

• The KdV equation is the canonical example of an integrable nonlinear partial differential equation supporting multisoliton solutions. Seeking to understand the nature of this interaction, we investigate different ways to write the KdV 2-soliton solution as a sum of two or more functions. The paper reviews previous work of this nature and introduces new decompositions with unique features, putting it all in context and in a common notation for ease of comparison.
