Description
Summary:We consider coupled nonlinear equations modelling a family of travelling wave solutions. The goal of our work is to show that the method of internal averaging along characteristics can be used for wide classes of coupled non-linear wave equations such as Korteweg-de Vries, Klein – Gordon, Hirota – Satsuma, etc. The asymptotical analysis reduces a system of coupled non-linear equations to a system of integro – differential averaged equations. The averaged system with the periodical initial conditions disintegrates into independent equations in non-resonance case. These equations describe simple weakly non-linear travelling waves in the non-resonance case. In the resonance case the integro – differential averaged systems describe interaction of waves and give a good asymptotical approximation for exact solutions.
