Analytical solving of a deformed KdV equation

The celebrated Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) topics are of crucial significance in many fields of natural sciences. In this paper, a symbolic-computation-based method is applied to a perturbed form of the modified KdV equation, and one type of the analytic solutions is obtained.

Poisson brackets for lagrangians linear in the velocity

We construct, using methods of symplectic geometry, Poisson brackets for a class of singular Lagrangians, introduced by Macfarlane. Examples of this construction are the Gardner Poisson bracket for the Korteweg-de Vries equation and the Poisson bracket for the Schrödinger equation.     

On the theory of acoustic solitons in a liquid with distributed gas bubbles

A close relation is established between numerical solutions to two systems of equations, viz., the two-level nonlinear wave dynamic model of a liquid with gas bubbles and the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. This model is used for deriving the KdV equation in the long-wave approximation for any dependent variable of the gas-liquid mixture. The KdV equations derived earlier using radically different approximations are particular cases of our equations.

A Coupled Hybrid Lattice: Its Related Continuous Equation and Symmetries

The hybrid lattice, known as a discrete Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, is found to be a discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation in this paper. The coupled hybrid lattice, which is pointed to be a discrete coupled KdV system, is also found to be discrete form of a coupled mKdV systems. Delayed differential reduction system and pure difference systems are derived from the coupled hybrid system by means of the symmetry reduction approach. Cnoidal wave, positon and negaton solutions for the coupled hybrid system are proposed.     

The Hamilton Cartan formalism for rth-order Lagrangians and the integrability of the KdV and modified KdV equations

The Hamilton Cartan formalism for rth order Lagrangians is presented in a form suited to dealing with higher-order conserved currents. Noether's Theorem and its converse are stated and Poisson brackets are defined for conserved charges. An isomorphism between the Lie algebra of conserved currents and a Lie algebra of infinitesimal symmetries of the Cartan form is established. This isomorphism, together with the commutativity of the Bäcklund transformations for the KdV and modified KdV equations, allows a simple geometric proof that the infinite collections of conserved charges for these equations are in involution with respect to the Poisson bracket determined by their Lagrangians. Thus, the formal complete integrability of these equations appears as a consequence of the properties of their Bäcklund transformations.It is noted that the Hamilton Cartan formalism determines a symplectic structure on the space of functionals determined by conserved charges and that, in the case of the KdV equation, the structure is the same as that given by Miura et al. [5].     

Perturbations conserving solitons

A condition is derived for the existence of a soliton-like solution of the perturbed Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. A similar condition is written for the perturbed modified KdV equation.     

Dynamics of localized waves with large amplitude in a weakly dispersive medium with a quadratic and positive cubic nonlinearity

The dynamics of localized waves is analyzed in the framework of a model described by the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with account made for the cubic positive nonlinearity (the Gardner equation). In particular, the interaction process of two solitons is considered, and the dynamics of a “breathing” wave packet (a breather) is discussed. It is shown that solitons of the same polarity interact as in the case of the Korteweg-de Vries equation or modified Korteweg-de Vries equation, whereas the interaction of solitons of different polarity is qualitatively different from the classical case. An example of “unpredictable” behavior of the breather of the Gardner equation is discussed.     

Two velocity difference model for a car following theory

In the light of the optimal velocity model, a two velocity difference model for a car-following theory is put forward considering navigation in modern traffic. To our knowledge, the model is an improvement over the previous ones theoretically, because it considers more aspects in the car-following process than others. Then we investigate the property of the model using linear and nonlinear analyses. The Korteweg-de Vries equation (for short, the KdV equation) near the neutral stability line and the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation (for short, the mKdV equation) around the critical point are derived by applying the reductive perturbation method. The traffic jam could be thus described by the KdV soliton and the kink-anti-kink soliton for the KdV equation and mKdV equation, respectively. Numerical simulations are made to verify the model, and good results are obtained with the new model.     

Ableitung einer kontinuierlichen Mannigfaltigkeit von Erhaltungssätzen der modifizierten Korteweg-de-Vries-Gleichung nach dem Noetherschen Satz

Derivation of a Continuous Set of Conservation Laws for the Modified Korteweg-de Vries Equation by Noether's Theorem A method developed recently to derive a continuous set of conservation laws from extended Bäcklund transformations by means of Noether's theorem is applied to the modified Korteweg-de Vries (m. KdV) equation that describes Alfvén waves in a plasma. The corresponding conserved currents are equivalent to those found by WADATI , SANUKI and KONNO . It is shown that the extended Bäcklund transformation B?_α for the m. KdV equation, which coincides with that for the sine-Gordon equation, by MIURA'S transformation becomes the extended Bäcklund transformation β_x for the Korteweg-de Vries equation where x = 1/2α.     

The Korteweg-de Vries soliton in the lattice hydrodynamic model

The lattice hydrodynamic model is not only a simplified version of the macroscopic hydrodynamic model, but is also closely connected with the microscopic car following model. The modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation about the density wave in congested traffic has been derived near the critical point since Nagatani first proposed it. But the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation near the neutral stability line has not been studied, which has been investigated in detail in the car following model. So we devote ourselves to obtaining the KdV equation from the lattice hydrodynamic model and obtaining the KdV soliton solution describing the traffic jam. Numerical simulation is conducted, to demonstrate the nonlinear analysis result.     

The theoretical analysis of the lattice hydrodynamic models for traffic flow theory

The lattice hydrodynamic model is not only a simplified version of the macroscopic hydrodynamic model, but also connected with the microscopic car following model closely. The modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation related to the density wave in a congested traffic region has been derived near the critical point since Nagatani first proposed it. But the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation near the neutral stability line has not been studied, which has been investigated in detail for the car following model. We devote ourselves to obtaining the KdV equation from the original lattice hydrodynamic models and the KdV soliton solution to describe the traffic jam. Especially, we obtain the general soliton solution of the KdV equation and the mKdV equation. We review several lattice hydrodynamic models, which were proposed recently. We compare the modified models and carry out some analysis. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the nonlinear analysis results.     

Nonlocal KdV equations

Writing the Hirota-Satsuma (HS) system of equations in a symmetrical form we find its local and new nonlocal reductions. It turns out that all reductions of the HS system are Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), complex KdV, and new nonlocal KdV equations. We obtain one-soliton solutions of these KdV equations by using the method of Hirota bilinearization.     

Classification of Dark Modified KdV Equation

The dark Korteweg-de Vries(KdV) systems are defined and classified by Kupershmidt sixteen years ago. However, there is no other classifications for other kinds of nonlinear systems. In this paper, a complete scalar classification for dark modified KdV(MKdV) systems is obtained by requiring the existence of higher order differential polynomial symmetries. Different to the nine classes of the dark KdV case, there exist twelve independent classes of the dark MKdV equations. Furthermore, for the every class of dark MKdV system, there is a free parameter. Only for a fixed parameter, the dark MKdV can be related to dark KdV via suitable Miura transformation. The recursion operators of two classes of dark MKdV systems are also given.     

A Higher Order (2+1)-Dimensional Korteweg-de Vries Equation and Its Exact Solitary Wave Solutions

The (2+l)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation proposed recently by Levi is extended to a higher order (2+1)-dimensional KdV equation from water wave dynamics when considering surface tension. Its exact and explicit solitary wave solutions can be obtained by relating it to the higher order KdV equation.     

A class of nondispersive evolution equations with solitary wave solutions

We present a class of nonlinear evolution equations possessing stable solitary wave solutions with a sech² profile. These equations are related to the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and regularised longwave (RLW) equations, but, unlike the latter, are dispersion free in the linear limit.     

Solitons as a model for the nuclear potential

Formal relations between the nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and the linear Schrödinger equations are discussed. Taking the one-soliton solution of the KdV as a model for the real central part of the nuclear potential quite realistic dependences on the mass numbers of projectile and target are obtained.     

Approximate analytic solutions for a generalized Hirota—Satsuma coupled KdV equation and a coupled mKdV equation

<正>This paper applies the variational iteration method to obtain approximate analytic solutions of a generalized Hirota-Satsuma coupled Korteweg-de Vries(KdV) equation and a coupled modified Korteweg-de Vries(mKdV) equation. This method provides a sequence of functions which converges to the exact solution of the problem and is based on the use of the Lagrange multiplier for the identification of optimal values of parameters in a functional.Some examples are given to demonstrate the reliability and convenience of the method and comparisons are made with the exact solutions.     

Negative-order KdV equations in (3+1) dimensions by using the KdV recursion operator

We develop a variety of negative-order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations in (3+1)-dimensions. The recursion operator of the KdV equation is used to derive these higher dimensional models. The new equations give distinct solitons structures and distinct dispersion relations as well. We also determine multiple soliton solutions for each derived model.     

Particle-in-Cell Simulation of the Reflection of a Korteweg-de Vries Solitary Wave and an Envelope Solitary Wave at a Solid Boundary

Reflections of a Korteweg-de Vries(KdV) solitary wave and an envelope solitary wave are studied by using the particle-in-cell simulation method.Defining the phase shift of the reflected solitary wave,we notice that there is a phase shift of the reflected KdV solitary wave,while there is no phase shift for an envelope solitary wave.It is also noted that the reflection of a KdV solitary wave at a solid boundary is equivalent to the head-on collision between two identical amplitude solitary waves.
