Abstract

We consider solutions of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations (gKdV) which are non dispersive in some sense and which remain close to multi-solitons. We show that these solutions are necessarily pure multi-solitons. For the Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) and the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation (mKdV) in particular, we obtain a characterization of multi-solitons and multi-breathers in terms of non dispersion.
