Abstract: We consider the following variational problem: minimize the $(n+1)$st polynomial conserved quantity of KdV over $H^n(mathbbR)$ with the first $n$ conserved quantities constrained. Maddocks and Sachs used that $n$-solitons are local minimizers for this problem in order to prove that $n$-solitons are orbitally stable in $H^n(mathbbR)$. Given $n$ constraints that are attainable by an $n$-soliton, we show that there is a unique set of $n$ amplitude parameters so that the corresponding multisolitons satisfy the constraints. Moreover, we prove that these multisolitons are the unique global constrained minimizers. We then use this variational characterization to provide a new proof of the orbital stability result of Maddocks and Sachs via concentration compactness. In the case when the constraints can be attained by functions in $H^n(mathbbR)$ but not by an $n$-soliton, we discover new behavior for minimizing sequences.
