Abstract

We generalize the approach first proposed by Manton Nucl. Phys. B 150 397 (1979)] to compute solitary wave interactions in translationally invariant, dispersive equations that support such localized solutions. The approach is illustrated using as examples solitons in the Korteweg-de Vries equation, standing waves in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and kinks as well as breathers of the sine-Gordon equation.
