Abstract

We study the two and three dimensional, N=2, 3, nonlinear dispersive equation CN(m,a+b): u(t)+(u(m))x + [u(a)inverted delta2ub]x=0 where the degeneration of the dispersion at the ground state induces cylindrically and spherically symmetric compactons convected in the x direction. An initial pulse of bounded extent decomposes into a sequence of robust compactons. Colliding compactons seem to emerge from the interaction intact, or almost so.
