Abstract

In this work, we study compact and noncompact dispersive structures formed by a class of nonlinear dispersive equations. We show that the focusing branches provide compactons solutions: solitons with compact support. We also show that the defocusing branches generate solitary patterns solutions. We test our work for a variety of nonlinear equations with positive and negative exponents.
