KdV waves in atomic chains with nonlocal interactions

KdV waves in atomic chains with nonlocal interactions

We consider atomic chains with nonlocal particle interactions and prove the existence of near-sonic solitary waves. Both our result and the general proof strategy are reminiscent of the seminal paper by Friesecke and Pego on the KdV limit of chains with nearest neighbor interactions but differ in the following two …
