Abstract:
We numerically study nonlinear dispersive wave equations of generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili type in the regime of small dispersion. To this end we include general power-law nonlinearities with different signs. A particular focus is on the Korteweg-de Vries sector of the corresponding solutions.
