Abstract

We use the inverse scattering transform and a diffusion approximation limit theorem to study the stability of soliton components of the solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger and Korteweg–de Vries equations under random perturbations of the initial conditions: for a wide class of rapidly oscillating random perturbations this problem reduces to the study of a canonical system of stochastic differential equations which depends only on the integrated covariance of the perturbation. We finally study the problem when the perturbation is weak, which allows us to analyze the stability of solitons quantitatively.
