The spectrum of the associated scattering problem for a certain class of initial conditions, referred to as periodic single-lobe potentials, is numerically computed, and it is shown that the spectrum becomes confined to the real and imaginary axes or the spectral parameter in the semiclassical limit. A formal Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin expansion is computed for the scattering eigenfunctions, which allows one to obtain asymptotic expressions for the number, location, and size of the spectral bands and gaps. The results of these calculations suggest that, in the semiclassical limit, all excitations in the spectrum become effective solitons. Finally, the analytical predictions are compared with direct numerical simulations as well as with numerical calculations of the Lax spectrum, and the results are shown to be in excellent agreement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51174,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Mathematics","volume":"157 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148532917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After deriving the general bilinear form of the system, we show how to obtain fundamental solitons, as well as fundamental and composite breathers. We then obtain solutions exhibiting 2 solitons and 2 breathers and combinations of a soliton and a breather, and discuss all “two-body” interactions properties, with particular emphasis on explicit formulas, visualization, and long-time asymptotic behavior, thus rigorously confirming the highly nontrivial interaction properties of these coherent structures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51174,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Mathematics","volume":"157 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148532975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
