On the Modified Korteweg–De Vries Equation

We consider the large time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation , with initial data . We assume that the coefficient is real, bounded and slowly varying function, such that , where . We suppose that the initial data are real-valued and small enough, belonging to the weighted Sobolev space . In comparison with the previous paper (Internat. Res. Notices 8 (1999), 395–418), here we exclude the condition that the integral of the initial data u ₀ is zero. We prove the time decay estimates and for all , where . We also find the asymptotics for large time of the solution in the neighborhood of the self-similar solution.     

Gaussian Limiting Behavior of the Rescaled Solution to the Linear Korteweg–de Vries Equation with Random Initial Conditions

We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the rescaled solution to the linear Korteweg–de Vries equation when the initial conditions are supposed to be random and weakly dependent. By means of the method of moments we prove the Gaussianity of the limiting process and we present its correlation function. The same technique is applied to the analysis of another third-order heat-type equation.     

On the modulation equations and stability of periodic generalized Korteweg–de Vries waves via Bloch decompositions

In this paper, we consider the relation between Evans-function-based approaches to the stability of periodic travelling waves and other theories based on long-wavelength asymptotics together with Bloch wave expansions. In previous work it was shown by rigorous Evans function calculations that the formal slow modulation approximation resulting in the linearized Whitham averaged system accurately describes the spectral stability to long-wavelength perturbations. To clarify the connection between Bloch-wave-based expansions and Evans-function-based approaches, we reproduce this result without reference to the Evans function by using direct Bloch expansion methods and spectral perturbation analysis. One of the novelties of this approach is that we are able to calculate the relevant Bloch waves explicitly for arbitrary finite-amplitude solutions. Furthermore, this approach has the advantage of being applicable in the more general multi-periodic setting where no conveniently computable Evans function has yet been devised.     

Periodic solutions of Wick-type stochastic Korteweg–de Vries equations

Nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations have a wide range of applications in science and engineering. Finding exact solutions of the Wick-type stochastic equation will be helpful in the theories and numerical studies of such equations. In this paper, Kudrayshov method together with Hermite transform is implemented to obtain exact solutions of Wick-type stochastic Korteweg–de Vries equation. Further, graphical illustrations in two- and three-dimensional plots of the obtained solutions depending on time and space are also given with white noise functionals.     

On solitary wave solutions of the compound Burgers–Korteweg–de Vries equation

The goal of this note is to construct a class of traveling solitary wave solutions for the compound Burgers–Korteweg–de Vries equation by means of a hyperbolic ansatz. A computational error in a previous work has been clarified.     

Dynamics of new higher-order rational soliton solutions of the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation

By virtue of the bilinear method and the KP hierarchy reduction technique, exact explicit rational solutions of the multicomponent Mel’nikov equation and the multicomponent Schrödinger–Boussinesq equation are constructed, which contain multicomponent short waves and single-component long wave. For the multicomponent Mel’nikov equation, the fundamental rational solutions possess two different behaviours: lump and rogue wave. It is shown that the fundamental (simplest) rogue waves are line localised waves which arise from the constant background with a line profile and then disappear into the constant background again. The fundamental line rogue waves can be classified into three: bright, intermediate and dark line rogue waves. Two subclasses of non-fundamental rogue waves, i.e., multirogue waves and higher-order rogue waves are discussed. The multirogue waves describe interaction of several fundamental line rogue waves, in which interesting wave patterns appear in the intermediate time. Higher-order rogue waves exhibit dynamic behaviours that the wave structures start from lump and then retreat back to it. Moreover, by taking the parameter constraints further, general higher-order rogue wave solutions for the multicomponent Schrödinger–Boussinesq system are generated.     

Three dimensional Lifshitz black hole and the Korteweg–de Vries equation

We consider a solution of three dimensional New Massive Gravity with a negative cosmological constant and use the AdS/CTF correspondence to inquire about the equivalent two dimensional model at the boundary. We conclude that there should be a close relation of the theory with the Korteweg–de Vries equation.     

Long-Time Dynamics of Korteweg–de Vries Solitons Driven by Random Perturbations

This paper deals with the transmission of a soliton in a random medium described by a randomly perturbed Korteweg–de Vries equation. Different kinds of perturbations are addressed, depending on their specific time or position dependences, with or without damping. We derive effective evolution equations for the soliton parameter by applying a perturbation theory of the inverse scattering transform and limit theorems of stochastic calculus. Original results are derived that are very different compared to a randomly perturbed Nonlinear Schrödinger equation. First the emission of a soliton gas is proved to be a very general feature. Second some perturbations are shown to involve a speeding-up of the soliton, instead of the decay that is usually observed in random media.     

Nonclassical Lie symmetry and conservation laws of the nonlinear time-fractional Korteweg–de Vries equation

In this paper, we use the symmetry of the Lie group analysis as one of the powerful tools that deals with the wide class of fractional order differential equations in the Riemann–Liouville concept. In this study, first, we employ the classical and nonclassical Lie symmetries(LS) to acquire similarity reductions of the nonlinear fractional far field Korteweg–de Vries(KdV)equation, and second, we find the related exact solutions for the derived generators. Finally,according to the LS generators acquired, we construct conservation laws for related classical and nonclassical vector fields of the fractional far field Kd V equation.     

A Linear Energy-Preserving Finite Volume Element Method for the Improved Korteweg−de Vries Equation

In this paper, we introduce a linearized energy-preserving scheme which preserves the discrete global energy of solutions to the improved Korteweg?deVries equation. The method presented is based on the finite volume element method, by resorting to the variational derivative to transform the improved Korteweg?deVries equation into a new form, and then designing energy-preserving schemes for the transformed equation. The proposed scheme is much more efficient than the standard nonlinear scheme and has good stability. To illustrate its efficiency and conservative properties, we also compare it with other nonlinear schemes. Finally, we verify the efficiency and conservative properties through numerical simulations.     

Helical solitons in vector modified Korteweg–de Vries equations

We study existence of helical solitons in the vector modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) equations, one of which is integrable, whereas another one is non-integrable. The latter one describes nonlinear waves in various physical systems, including plasma and chains of particles connected by elastic springs. By using the dynamical system methods such as the blow-up near singular points and the construction of invariant manifolds, we construct helical solitons by the efficient shooting method. The helical solitons arise as the result of co-dimension one bifurcation and exist along a curve in the velocity-frequency parameter plane. Examples of helical solitons are constructed numerically for the non-integrable equation and compared with exact solutions in the integrable vector mKdV equation. The stability of helical solitons with respect to small perturbations is confirmed by direct numerical simulations.     

Analytical solution of the Korteweg–de Vries equation and microtubule equation using the first integral method

In this paper, the first integral method is applied to solve the Korteweg–de Vries equation with dual power law nonlinearity and equation of microtubule as nonlinear RLC transmission line. This method is manageable, straightforward and a powerful tool to find the exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations.     

The description of reflection coefficients of the scattering problems for finding solutions of the Korteweg–de Vries equations

The results of inverse scattering problem associated with the initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) for the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation with dominant surface tension are formulated. The necessary and sufficient conditions for given functions to be the left- and right-reflection coefficients of the scattering problem are established. The time-dependence t, t > 0 of each element of the scattering matrix s(k,t) is found in respective sector of the k-spectral plane by expansion formulas which are constructed from the known initial and boundary conditions of the IBVP. Knowing the right-reflection coefficient calculated from the elements of s(k,t), we solve the Gelfand–Levitan–Marchenko (GLM) equation in the inverse problem. Then the solution of the IBVP is expressible through the solution of the GLM equation. The asymptotic behavior at infinity of time of the solution of the IBVP is shown     

Exact solutions of stochastic fractional Korteweg de–Vries equation with conformable derivatives

We deal with the Wick-type stochastic fractional Korteweg de–Vries(KdV) equation with conformable derivatives.With the aid of the Exp-function method, white noise theory, and Hermite transform, we produce a novel set of exact soliton and periodic wave solutions to the fractional KdV equation with conformable derivatives. With the help of inverse Hermite transform, we get stochastic soliton and periodic wave solutions of the Wick-type stochastic fractional KdV equation with conformable derivatives. Eventually, by an application example, we show how the stochastic solutions can be given as Brownian motion functional solutions.     

Second order conformal multi-symplectic method for the damped Korteweg–de Vries equation

A conformal multi-symplectic method has been proposed for the damped Korteweg–de Vries(DKdV) equation, which is based on the conformal multi-symplectic structure. By using the Strang-splitting method and the Preissmann box scheme,we obtain a conformal multi-symplectic scheme for multi-symplectic partial differential equations(PDEs) with added dissipation. Applying it to the DKdV equation, we construct a conformal multi-symplectic algorithm for it, which is of second order accuracy in time. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed method not only preserves the dissipation rate of mass exactly with periodic boundary conditions, but also has excellent long-time numerical behavior.     

Formulation of the Korteweg–de Vries and the Burgers equations expressing mass transports from the generalized Kawasaki–Ohta equation

By generalization of the Kawasaki–Ohta equation representing the interface dynamics, we report formulation of equations, which express mass transports, deterministic and stochastic, for nonlinear lattices. The equations are written characteristically by flow variable representations defined in the Letter. We found that the KdV equation and the Burgers equation, formulated by the flow variables, express mass transports in hydrodynamics and in stochastic processes, respectively. The representations lead to the conclusion that in nonequilibria we should observe a change not in a concentration but in concentration flows.
