Spatial decay of multi-solitons of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries and nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equations

Abstract: We study pointwise spatial decay of multi-solitons of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations. We obtain that, uniformly in time, these solutions and their derivatives decay exponentially in space on the left of and in the solitons region, and prove rapid decay on the right of the solitons. We also prove the corresponding result for multi-solitons of the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equations, that is, exponential decay in the solitons region and rapid decay outside.
