We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
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.
