Infinite soliton and kink-soliton trains for nonlinear Schrödinger equations

International audienceWe look for solutions to generic nonlinear Schrödinger equations build upon solitons and kinks. Solitons are localized solitary waves and kinks are their non localized counter-parts. We prove the existence of infinite soliton trains, i.e. solutions behaving at large time as the sum of infinitely many solitons. We also show that one can attach a kink at one end of the train. Our proofs proceed by fixed point arguments around the desired profile. We present two approaches leading to different results, one based on a combination of dispersive estimates and Strichartz estimates, the other based only on Strichartz estimates
