Local well-posedness for the dispersion generalized periodic KdV equation

In this paper, we set up the local well-posedness of the initial value problem for the dispersion generalized periodic KdV equation: t_∂u+x_∂α|Dx|u=x_∂u², u(0)=φ for α>2, and φ∈Hs(T). And we show that the is a lower endpoint to obtain the bilinear estimates (1.2) and (1.3) which are the crucial steps to obtain the local well-posedness by Picard iteration. The case α=2 was studied in Kenig et al. (1996) [10].     

On the periodic KdV equation in weighted Sobolev spaces

We prove well-posedness results for the initial value problem of the periodic KdV equation as well as Kam type results in classes of high regularity solutions. More precisely, we consider the problem in weighted Sobolev spaces, which comprise classical Sobolev spaces, Gevrey spaces, and analytic spaces. We show that the initial value problem is well posed in all spaces with subexponential decay of Fourier coefficients, and ‘almost well posed’ in spaces with exponential decay of Fourier coefficients.

A new integrable equation that combines the KdV equation with the negative‐order KdV equation

In this work, we develop a new integrable equation by combining the KdV equation and the negative‐order KdV equation. We use concurrently the KdV recursion operator and the inverse KdV recursion operator to construct this new integrable equation. We show that this equation nicely passes the Painlevé test. As a result, multiple soliton solutions and other soliton and periodic solutions are guaranteed and formally derived.     

Solitary waves of the generalized KdV equation with distributed delays

In this paper, we study an integro-differential equation based on the generalized KdV equation with a convolution term which introduces a time delay in the nonlinearity. Special attention is paid to the existence of solitary wave solutions. Motivated by [M.J. Ablowitz, H. Seger, Soliton and Inverse Scattering Transform, SIAM, Philadelphia, 1981; C.K.R.T. Jones, Geometrical singular perturbation theory, in: R. Johnson (Ed.), Dynamical Systems, in: Lecture Notes in Math., vol. 1609, Springer, New York, 1995; T. Ogawa, Travelling wave solutions to perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equations, Hiroshima Math. J. 24 (1994) 401-422], we prove, using the linear chain trick and geometric singular perturbation analysis, that the solitary wave solutions persist when the average delay is suitably small, for a special convolution kernel.     

Stability of periodic traveling waves for complex modified Korteweg-de Vries equation

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.     

New kinds of solitons and periodic solutions to the generalized KdV equation

In this work, the sine‐cosine method, the tanh method, and specific schemes that involve hyperbolic functions are used to study solitons and periodic solutions governed by the generalized KdV equation. New solutions are determined by using the hyperbolic functions schemes. The study introduces new approaches to handle nonlinear PDEs in the solitary wave theory. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Justification and failure of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in case of non-trivial quadratic resonances

The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation can be derived as an amplitude equation describing slow modulations in time and space of an underlying spatially and temporarily oscillating wave packet. The purpose of this paper is to prove estimates, between the formal approximation, obtained via the NLS equation, and true solutions of the original system in case of non-trivial quadratic resonances. It turns out that the approximation property (APP) holds if the approximation is stable in the system for the three-wave interaction (TWI) associated to the resonance. We construct a counterexample showing that the NLS equation can fail to approximate the original system if instability occurs for the approximation in the TWI system. In the unstable case we give some arguments why the validity of the APP can be expected for spatially localized solutions and why it cannot be expected for non-localized solutions. Although, we restrict ourselves to a nonlinear wave equation as original system we believe that the results hold in more general situations, too.     

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.     

Conjugate points in the Bott-Virasoro group and the KdV equation

We study the geometry of a right invariant metric on a central extension of the diffeomorphism group of a circle (the Bott-Virasoro group) introduced by Ovsienko and Khesin. We obtain an expression for the curvature tensor of this metric and apply it to find conjugate points in .

     

Numerical solutions of KdV equation using radial basis functions

Numerical solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation is obtained by using the meshless method based on the collocation with radial basis functions. Five standard radial basis functions are used in the method of the collocation. The results are compared for the numerical experiments of the propagation of solitons, interaction of two solitary waves and breakdown of initial conditions into a train of solitons.

Multi-symplectic methods for the Ito-type coupled KdV equation

In this paper, we find that the Ito-type coupled KdV equation can be written as a multi-symplectic Hamiltonian partial differential equation (PDE). Then, multi-symplectic Fourier pseudospectral method and multi-symlpectic wavelet collocation method are constructed for this equation. In the numerical experiments, we show the effectiveness of the proposed methods. Some comparisons between the proposed methods are also made with respect to global conservation properties.     

Numerical solution for the KdV equation based on similarity reductions

The present paper is devoted to the development of a new scheme to solve the KdV equation locally on sub-domains using similarity reductions for partial differential equations. Each sub-domain is divided into three-grid points. The ordinary differential equation deduced from the similarity reduction can be linearized, integrated analytically and then used to approximate the flux vector in the KdV equation. The arbitrary constants in the analytical solution of the similarity equation can be determined in terms of the dependent variables at the grid points in each sub-domain. This approach eliminates the difficulties associated with boundary conditions for the similarity reductions over the whole solution domain. Numerical results are obtained for two test problems to show the behavior of the solution of the problems. The computed results are compared with other numerical results.
