In this paper, we study the time-fractional nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. By using the theory of semigroups, we prove the well-posedness of the time-fractional nonlinear KdV equation. Moreover, we present the boundary controllability result for the problem.     

Three types of exact solutions to Wick-type generalized stochastic Korteweg-de Vries equation

A Wick-type generalized stochastic Korteweg-de Vries equation is researched. By means of Hermite transformation, white noise theory and Riccati equation mapping method, three types of exact solutions to the generalized stochastic Korteweg-de Vries equation, which include the functional solutions of hyperbolic-exponential type, trigonometric-exponential type and exponential type, are derived.     

A non-homogeneous boundary-value problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation in a quarter plane

The Korteweg-de Vries equation was first derived by Boussinesq and Korteweg and de Vries as a model for long-crested small-amplitude long waves propagating on the surface of water. The same partial differential equation has since arisen as a model for unidirectional propagation of waves in a variety of physical systems. In mathematical studies, consideration has been given principally to pure initial-value problems where the wave profile is imagined to be determined everywhere at a given instant of time and the corresponding solution models the further wave motion. The practical, quantitative use of the Korteweg-de Vries equation and its relatives does not always involve the pure initial-value problem. Instead, initial-boundary-value problems often come to the fore. A natural example arises when modeling the effect in a channel of a wave maker mounted at one end, or in modeling near-shore zone motions generated by waves propagating from deep water. Indeed, the initial-boundary-value problem

studied here arises naturally as a model whenever waves determined at an entry point propagate into a patch of a medium for which disturbances are governed approximately by the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The present essay improves upon earlier work on (0.1) by making use of modern methods for the study of nonlinear dispersive wave equations. Speaking technically, local well-posedness is obtained for initial data in the class for \frac34$"> and boundary data in , whereas global well-posedness is shown to hold for when , and for when . In addition, it is shown that the correspondence that associates to initial data and boundary data the unique solution of (0.1) is analytic. This implies, for example, that solutions may be approximated arbitrarily well by solving a finite number of linear problems.

On the exponential decay of the critical generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation with localized damping

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the critical generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation in a bounded interval with a localized damping term. Combining multiplier techniques and compactness arguments it is shown that the problem of exponential decay of the energy is reduced to prove the unique continuation property of weak solutions. A locally uniform stabilization result is derived.

A mathematical model of nonlinear wave propagation in a pipeline is constructed. The Korteweg-de Vries equation is derived by determining asymptotic solutions and changing variables. A particular solution to the model equations is found that has the fluid velocity function in the form of a solitary wave.

An analogy with solutions to limiting continual equations is drawn.     

Solitary waves for Korteweg-de Vries equation with small delay

This paper deals with the existence of solitary waves for Korteweg-de Vries equation with time delay. Based upon the inertial manifold theory and differential manifold geometric theory, the existence of solitary wave solution is proved when the delay is small enough. Up to now, studies on solitary wave for such delay differential equation are not available, so the results of this paper are new.     

Exact travelling wave solutions of the dissipative coupled Korteweg-de Vries equation

This paper employs the theory of planar dynamical systems and undetermined coefficient method to study travelling wave solutions of the dissipative coupled Korteweg-de Vries equation. The possible kink profile solitary wave solutions and approximate damped oscillatory solutions of the equation are obtained by using undetermined coefficient method. Error estimates indicate that the approximate solutions are meaningful.     

Interaction of solitary waves for the generalized KdV equation

We consider a class of generalized KdV equations with a small parameter and nonlinearities of the type u^m. We create a finite differences scheme to simulate the solution of the Cauchy problem and present some numerical results for the problem of the solitary waves interaction. In particular, we consider sufficient condition under which pairs of solitary waves interact, in the asymptotic sense, in accordance with the soliton scenario.

On the Propagation of Regularity and Decay of Solutions to the k-Generalized Korteweg-de Vries Equation

We study special regularity and decay properties of solutions to the IVP associated to the k-generalized KdV equations. In particular, for datum u ₀ ∈ H ^3/4+ (?) whose restriction belongs to H ^l ((b, ∞)) for some l ∈ ?⁺ and b ∈ ? we prove that the restriction of the corresponding solution u(·, t) belongs to H ^l ((β, ∞)) for any β ∈ ? and any t ∈ (0, T). Thus, this type of regularity propagates with infinite speed to its left as time evolves.     

The breather wave solutions, M-lump solutions and semi-rational solutions to a (2+1)-dimensional generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation

Under investigation in this work is a (2+1)-dimensional generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation, which can be used to describe many nonlinear phenomena in plasma physics. By using the properties of Bell"s polynomial, we obtain the bilinear formalism of this equation. The expression of $N$-soliton solution is established in terms of the Hirota"s bilinear method. Based on the resulting $N$-soliton solutions, we succinctly show its breather wave solutions. Furthermore, with the aid of the corresponding soliton solutions, the $M$-lump solutions are well presented by taking a long wave limit. Two types of hybrid solutions are also represented in detail. Finally, some graphic analysis are provided in order to better understand the propagation characteristics of the obtained solutions.
