Vi. Karpman, LYAPUNOV APPROACH TO THE SOLITON STABILITY IN HIGHLY DISPERSIVE SYSTEMS .1. 4TH-ORDER NONLINEAR SCHRODINGER-EQUATIONS, Physics letters. A, 215(5-6), 1996, pp. 254-256
The stability of solitons, described by fourth order nonlinear Schrodi
nger equations with arbitrary power nonlinearities, is studied by mean
s of the Lyapunov approach. From the results obtained it follows that
the solitons are stable at pD < 4, where p is the power of nonlinearit
y and D is the number of space dimensions.
