We review recent nonlinear partial differential equation techniques developed to address questions concerning solitons for the quartic generalized Korteweg—de Vries equation (gKdV) and other generalizations of the KdV equation. We draw a comparison between results obtained in this way and some elements of the classical integrability theory for the original KdV equation, which serve as a reference for soliton and multi-soliton problems. First, known results on stability and asymptotic stability of solitons for gKdV equations are reviewed from several different sources. Second, we consider the problem of the interaction of two solitons for the quartic gKdV equation. We focus on recent results and techniques from a previous paper by the present authors concerning the interaction of two almost-equal solitons.
