Explicit Complex-Valued Solutions of the Korteweg–de Vries Equation on the Half-Line and on the Whole-Line

The paper deals with the initial-value problems for the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations on the half-line and on the whole-line for complex-valued measurable and exponentially decreasing potentials. The time evolution equation for the reflection coefficient is derived and then a one-to-one correspondence between the scattering data and the solution of the KdV equation is shown. Families of exact solutions of the KdV equation are represented for the class of reflection-free potentials, in which the inverse scattering problem associated with the KdV equation can be solved exactly. Some helpful examples of soliton solutions of the KdV equation are provided.     

A generalized AKNS hierarchy,bi-Hamiltonian structure,and Darboux transformation

A new generalized AKNS hierarchy is presented starting from a 4 × 4 matrix spectral problem with four potentials. Its generalized bi-Hamiltonian structure is also investigated by using the trace identity. Moreover, the special coupled nonlinear equation, the coupled KdV equation, the KdV equation, the coupled mKdV equation and the mKdV equation are produced from the generalized AKNS hierarchy. Most importantly, a Darboux transformation for the generalized AKNS hierarchy is established with the aid of the gauge transformation between the corresponding 4 × 4 matrix spectral problem, by which multiple soliton solutions of the generalized AKNS hierarchy are obtained. As a reduction, a Darboux transformation of the mKdV equation and its new analytical positon, negaton and complexiton solutions are given.     

Positon Solutions of the KdV Equation with Self-Consistent Sources

We construct a binary Darboux transformation with an arbitrary time function for the KdV equation with self-consistent sources. With this transformation, we obtain positon solutions of the KdV equation with self-consistent sources. We also discuss the properties of these solutions.     

Nonlinear sloshing and passage through resonance in a shallow water tank

This paper is concerned with the effect of slowly changing the length of a tank on the nonlinear standing waves (free vibrations) and resonant forced oscillations of shallow water in the tank. The analysis begins with the Boussinesq equations. These are reduced to a nonlinear differential-difference equation for the slow variation of a Riemann invariant on one end. Then a multiple scale expansion yields a KdV equation with slowly changing coefficients for the standing wave problem, which is reduced to a KdV equation with a variable dispersion coefficient. The effect of changing the tank length on the number of solitons in the tank is investigated through numerical solutions of the variable coefficient KdV equation. A KdV equation which is “periodically” forced and slowly detuned results for the passage through resonance problem. Then the amplitude-frequency curves for the fundamental resonance and the first overtone are given numerically, as well as solutions corresponding to multiple equilibria. The evolution between multiple equilibria is also examined.Received: December 16, 2003     

Integrability and exact solutions of the nonautonomous mixed mKdV–sinh–Gordon equation

In this paper, a nonautonomous mixed mKdV–sinh–Gordon equation with one arbitrary time-dependent variable coefficient is discussed in detail. It is proved that the equation passes the Painlevé test in the case of positive and negative resonances, respectively. Furthermore, a dependent variable transformation is introduced to get its bilinear form. Then, soliton, negaton, positon and interaction solutions are introduced by means of the Wronskian representation. Velocities are found to depend on the time-dependent variable coefficient appearing in the equation and this leads to a wide range of interesting behaviours. The singularities and asymptotic estimate of these solutions are discussed. At last, the superposition formulae for these solutions are also constructed.     

The negative extended KdV equation with self-consistent sources: soliton, positon and negaton

The negative extended KdV equation with self-consistent sources (eKdV⁻ESCSs) is firstly presented and the associated linear auxiliary equations are derived. The generalized binary Darboux transformation (DT) is applied to construct some new solutions of the eKdV⁻ESCSs such as singular N-soliton solution, N-soliton solution with finite amplitude, N-positon solution and N-negaton solution. The properties of these solutions are analyzed. Moreover, the interactions of two solitons, positon and negaton, positon and soliton, and two positons are discussed.

By asing the nonclassical method of symmetry reductions, the exact solutions for general variable-coefficient KdV equation with dissipative loss and nonuniformity terms are obtained. When the dissipative loss and nonuniformity terms don‘t exist, the multisoliton solutions are found and the corresponding Painleve II type equation for the variable-coefficient KdV equation is given.     

The long wave limiting of the discrete nonlinear evolution equations

Negaton, positon and complexiton solutions of the nonisospectral KdV equations with self-consistent sources

The negaton, positon, and complexiton solutions of the nonisospectral KdV equations with self-consistent sources (KdVESCSs) are obtained by the generalized binary Darboux transformation (GBDT) with N arbitrary t-functions. Taking the special initial seed solution for auxiliary linear problems, the negaton, positon, and complexiton solutions of the nonisospectral KdVESCSs are considered through the GBDT by selecting the negative, positive and complex spectral parameters. It is important to point out that these solutions of the nonisospectral KdVESCSs are analytical and singular. We also show differences between these solutions with singularities. Moreover, the detailed characteristics of these solutions with nonisospectral properties and sources effects are described through some figures.     

Prohibitions caused by nonlocality for nonlocal Boussinesq‐KdV type systems

It is found that two different celebrate models, the Korteweg de‐Vrise (KdV) equation and the Boussinesq equation, are linked to a same model equation but with different nonlocalities. The nonlocal KdV equation can be derived in two ways, via the so‐called consistent correlated bang companied by the parity and time reversal from the local KdV equation and via the parity and time reversal symmetry reduction from a coupled local KdV system which is a two‐layer fluid model. The same model can be called as the nonlocal Boussinesq system if the nonlocality is changed as only one of parity and time reversal. The nonlocal Boussinesq equation can be derived via the parity or time reversal symmetry reduction from the local Boussinesq equation. For the nonlocal Boussinesq equation, with help of the bilinear approach and recasting the multisoliton solutions of the usual Boussinesq equation to an equivalent novel form, the multisoliton solutions with even numbers and the head on interactions are obtained. However, the multisoliton solutions with odd numbers and the multisoliton solutions with even numbers but with pursuant interactions are prohibited. For the nonlocal KdV equation, the multisoliton solutions exhibit many more structures because an arbitrary odd function of can be introduced as background waves of the usual KdV equation.     

Multisoliton Solutions of the Matrix KdV Equation

We consider multisoliton solutions of the matrix KdV equation. We obtain the formulas for changing phases and amplitudes during the interaction of two solitons and prove that no multiparticle effects appear during the multisoliton interaction. We find the conditions ensuring the symmetry of the corresponding solutions of the matrix KdV equation if they are constructed by the matrix Darboux transformation applied to the Schrödinger operator with zero potential.

High order nonlocal symmetries and exact interaction solutions of the variable coefficient KdV equation

In this paper, the nonlocal symmetries and exact interaction solutions of the variable coefficient Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation are studied. With the help of pseudo-potential, we construct the high order nonlocal symmetries of the time-dependent coefficient KdV equation for the first time. In order to construct the new exact interaction solutions, two auxiliary variables are introduced, which can transform nonlocal symmetries into Lie point symmetries. Furthermore, using the Lie point symmetries of the closed system, some exact interaction solutions are obtained. For some interesting solutions, such as the soliton–cnoidal wave solutions are discussed in detail, and the corresponding 2D and 3D figures are given to illustrate their dynamic behavior.

Novel rogue waves in an inhomogenous nonlinear medium with external potentials

Employing the similarity transformation connected with the standard constant coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we obtain the analytical rogue wave solutions to a generalized variable coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation with external potentials describing the pulse propagation in nonlinear media with transverse and longitudinal directions nonuniformly distributed. Based on the obtained solutions, abundant structures of rogue waves are constructed by selecting some special parameters. The main properties as well as the dynamic behaviors of these rogue waves are discussed by direct computer simulations.

Do nonsingular globally bounded positon solutions exist?

The positon solutions discovered so far for several nonlinear evolution equations are singular solutions. We show that for a discrete version of the well-known sinh-Gordon equation nonsingular positon solutions do exist. Under appropriate restrictions on the parameters of the construction they are globally bounded. In the continuum limit the corresponding (singular) solutions of the sinh-Gordon equation are recovered. Bibliography: 11 titles. Dedicated to L. D.
