We study the existence and some properties of solitary-wave solutions for an interaction equation between a long internal wave and a short surface wave in a two-layer fluid. We obtain the existence of solitary-wave solutions using the concentration compactness method developed by Lions. We also show that solutions of the minimization problem are analytic and they are translations of the symmetric decreasing rearrangement of themselves.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
