A study on the (2 + 1)‐dimensional KdV4 equation derived by using the KdV recursion operator

We derive a new ( 2 + 1)‐dimensional Korteweg–de Vries 4 (KdV4) equation by using the recursion operator of the KdV equation. This study shows that the new KdV4 equation possess multiple soliton solutions the same as the multiple soliton solutions of the KdV hierarchy, but differ only in the dispersion relations. We also derive other traveling wave solutions. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

New exact solutions for a generalization of the Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV6)

The generalized tanh-coth method is used to construct periodic and soliton solutions for a new integrable system, which has been derived from an integrable sixth-order nonlinear wave equation (KdV6). The system is formed by two equations. One of the equations may be considered as a Korteweg-de Vries equation with a source and the second equation is a third-order linear differential equation.     

Multiwave solutions to the negative-order KdV equation in (3+1)-dimensions

This work aims to study the negative-order KdV equation in (3+1)-dimensions which is developed via using the recursion operator of the KdV equation by employing the three-wave methods. As a consequence, a variety of novel multiwave solutions with several arbitrary parameters to the considered equation are presented. Moreover, selecting particular values for the parameters, some graphs are plotted to show the spatial structures and dynamics of the resulting solutions. These results enrich the variety of the dynamics in the field of nonlinear waves.

High order nonlocal symmetries and exact interaction solutions of the variable coefficient KdV equation

In this paper, the nonlocal symmetries and exact interaction solutions of the variable coefficient Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation are studied. With the help of pseudo-potential, we construct the high order nonlocal symmetries of the time-dependent coefficient KdV equation for the first time. In order to construct the new exact interaction solutions, two auxiliary variables are introduced, which can transform nonlocal symmetries into Lie point symmetries. Furthermore, using the Lie point symmetries of the closed system, some exact interaction solutions are obtained. For some interesting solutions, such as the soliton–cnoidal wave solutions are discussed in detail, and the corresponding 2D and 3D figures are given to illustrate their dynamic behavior.     

A note on “The integrable KdV6 equation: Multiple soliton solutions and multiple singular soliton solutions”

The goal of this short note is to provide another kind soliton solutions with Hirota form, which is different from what Wazwaz obtained in [A.M. Wazwaz, The integrable KdV6 equations: Multiple soliton solutions and multiple singular soliton solutions, Appl. Math. Comput. 204 (2008) 963-972]. Meanwhile we newly construct the MKdV6 equation and derive a Miura transformation between KdV6 equation and MKdV6 equation.     

Bäcklund transformations and soliton solutions for the KdV6 equation

Using Hirota technique, a Bäcklund transformation in bilinear form is obtained for the KdV6 equation. Furthermore, we present a modified Bäcklund transformation by a dependent variable transformation, it is shown that a new representation of N-soliton solution and some novel solutions to the KdV6 equation are derived by performing an appropriate limiting procedure on the known soliton solutions.     

Dark solitons for a combined potential KdV and Schwarzian KdV equations with t-dependent coefficients and forcing term

In this work we formally derive the dark soliton solutions for the combined potential KdV and Schwarzian KdV equations. The combined KdV and Schwarzian KdV equations with time-dependent coefficients and forcing term are then investigated to obtain dark soliton solutions. The solitary wave ansatz is used to carry out the analysis for both models.     

Computing exact solutions to a generalized Lax seventh-order forced KdV equation (KdV7)

In this paper, the Cole-Hopf transform is used to construct exact solutions to a generalization of both the seventh-order Lax KdV equation (Lax KdV7) and the seventh-order Sawada-Kotera-Ito KdV equation (Sawada-Kotera-Ito KdV7 ) with forcing term.     

Negative‐order modified KdV equations: multiple soliton and multiple singular soliton solutions

In this work, we develop the negative‐order modified Korteweg–de Vries (nMKdV) equation. By means of the recursion operator of the modified KdV equation, we derive negative order forms, one for the focusing branch and the other for the defocusing form. Using the Weiss–Tabor–Carnevale method and Kruskal's simplification, we prove the Painlevé integrability of the nMKdV equations. We derive multiple soliton solutions for the first form and multiple singular soliton solutions for the second form. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A KdV6 hierarchy: Integrable members with distinct dispersion relations

In this work we study a hierarchy of KdV6 equation. We derive the KdV6 hierarchy by using the Lenard operators pair. We show that these equations give multiple soliton solutions with distinct dispersion relations.     

Group analysis of KdV equation with time dependent coefficients

We study the generalized KdV equation having time dependent variable coefficients of the damping and dispersion from the Lie group-theoretic point of view. Lie group classification with respect to the time dependent coefficients is performed. The optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras of the Lie symmetry algebras are obtained. These subalgebras are then used to construct a number of similarity reductions and exact group-invariant solutions, including soliton solutions, for some special forms of the equations.     

A study on KdV and Gardner equations with time-dependent coefficients and forcing terms

In this work we study the KdV equation and the Gardner equation with time-dependent coefficients and forcing term for each equation. A generalized wave transformation is used to convert each equation to a homogeneous equation. The soliton ansatz will be applied to the homogeneous equations to obtain soliton solutions.     

Darboux transformation and explicit solutions for the integrable sixth-order KdV equation for nonlinear waves

Korteweg-de Vries (KdV)-type equations can describe some physical phenomena in fluids, nonlinear optics, quantum mechanics, plasmas, etc. In this paper, with the aid of symbolic computation, the integrable sixth-order KdV equation is investigated. Darboux transformation (DT) with an arbitrary parameter is presented. Explicit solutions are derived with the DT. Relevant properties are graphically illustrated, which might be helpful to understand some physical processes in fluids, plasmas, optics and quantum mechanics.     

A new approach to the quantum KdV

We present a new formulation for the quantum evolution equation of KdV type. It is shown explicitly that a generalization of the usual recursion operator is possible, even when we follow the rules of quantization and assume that the nonlinear field variables do not commute. We also demonstrate that this recursion operator generates in a recursive way an infinite number of Hamiltonians commuting with each other, thus giving a basis for the complete integrability of the quantum mechanical evolution of the field. It is discovered that the reason why the recursion operator for the quantum KdV was not discovered earlier lies in the fact that this recursion operator is more closely connected to the general theory of the KP than to that of the KdV.     

Exact solutions of KdV equation with time-dependent coefficients

In this paper, we study the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation having time dependent coefficients from the Lie symmetry point of view. We obtain Lie point symmetries admitted by the equation for various forms for the time-dependent coefficients. We use the symmetries to construct the group-invariant solutions for each of the cases of the arbitrary coefficients. Subsequently, the 1-soliton solution is obtained by the aid of solitary wave ansatz method. It is observed that the soliton solution will exist provided that these time-dependent coefficients are all Riemann integrable.

N-soliton solutions for the integrable bidirectional sixth-order Sawada-Kotera equation

In this work, the integrable bidirectional sixth-order Sawada-Kotera equation is examined. The equation considered is a KdV6 equation that was derived from the fifth order Sawada-Kotera equation. Multiple soliton solutions and multiple singular soliton solutions are formally derived for this equation. The Cole-Hopf transformation method combined with the Hirota’s bilinear method are used to determine the two sets of solutions, where each set has a distinct structure.     

A new symmetry approach to solve space–time‐dependent KdV systems

In this paper, a new method to solve space–time‐dependent non‐linear equations is proposed. After considering the variable coefficient of a non‐linear equation as a new dependent variable, some special types of space–time‐dependent equations can be solved from corresponding space–time‐independent equations by using the general classical Lie approach. The rich soliton solutions of space–time‐dependent KdV equation and mKdV equation are given with the help of the approach. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
