Compactons structures for fifth-order KdV like equations in higher dimensions

In this paper we study a variant of the fifth-order KdV equation (fKdV) that exhibits compactons: solitons with finite wave lengths. The work formally shows how to construct compact dispersive structures in higher dimensions. Two sets of general formulas for compactons solutions, that are of substantial interest, are developed for this variant fK(n,n) for all positive integers n, n1.

Homoclinic breather-wave solutions and doubly periodic wave solutions for coupled KdV equations

In this paper, we first find out a proper variable transformation by the ideas of Painleve expansion. Then we apply the extended homoclinic test approach to obtain two-cycle breathing places wave solutions of Eq. (1) which describe interactions between two physical waves, and these special solutions can be applied to explain the structure of certain physical phenomena. Thus this method can be applied to the study of other similar nonlinear coupled system.

Solitary wave solutions are obtained for the generalized Korteweg-de-Vries (gKdV) equation with time-dependent damping and dispersion by using the tanh-coth method, the exp-function method and the modified sine-cosine method. These methods are useful and efficient and a variety of solitary wave solutions are obtained that possess variable coefficients.     

Solitary wave solutions of the improved KdV equation by VIM

The variational iteration method (VIM) is applied to solve numerically the improved Korteweg-de Vries equation (IKdV). A correction function is constructed with a general Lagrange multiplier that can be identified optimally via the variational theory. This technique provides a sequence of functions with easily computable components that converge rapidly to the exact solution of the IKdV equation. Propagation of single, interaction of two, and three solitary waves, and also birth of solitons have been discussed. Three invariants of motion have been evaluated to determine the conservation properties of the problem. This procedure is promising for solving other nonlinear equations.

In this paper, we demonstrate that 14 solutions from 34 of the combined KdV and Schwarzian KdV equation obtained by Li [Z.T. Li, Appl. Math. Comput. 215 (2009) 2886-2890] are wrong and do not satisfy the equation. The other a number of exact solutions are equivalent each other.     

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.
