In this paper the stability of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is investigated. It is shown analytically and numerically that small perturbations of solutions of the KdV-equation introduce effects of dispersion, hence the perturbation propagates with a different velocity then the unperturbed solution. This effect is investigated analytically by formulating a differential equation for pertu...

For a generalized super KdV equation, three Darboux transformations and the corresponding Bäcklund transformations are constructed. The compatibility of these Darboux transformations leads to three discrete systems and their Lax representations. The reduction of one of the Bäcklund–Darboux transformations and the corresponding discrete system are considered for Kupershmidt’s super KdV equation....

Computationally efficient, structure-preserving reduced-order methods are developed for the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equations in Hamiltonian form. The KdV equation is discretized space by finite differences. resulting skew-gradient system of ordinary differential (ODEs) integrated with linearly implicit Kahan's method, which preserves approximately. We have shown, using proper orthogonal decomp...

The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is first derived from a general system of partial differential equations. An analysis of the linearized KdV equation satisfied by the higher order amplitudes shows that the secular-producing terms in this equation are the derivatives of the conserved densities of KdV. Using the multi-time formalism, we prove that the propagation on very long distances is gov...

The interaction of solitary waves on shallow water is examined to fourth order. At first order the interaction is governed by the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, and it is shown that the unidirectional assumption, of right-moving waves only, is incompatible with mass conservation at third order. To resolve this, a mass conserving system of KdV equations, involving both rightand left-moving wa...

In order to study the longtime behavior of a dissipative evolutionary equation, we generally aim to show that the dynamics of the equation is finite dimensional for long time. In fact, one possible way to express this fact is to prove that dynamical systems describing the evolutional equation comprise the existence of the global attractor 1 . The KDV equation without dissipative and forcing was...

We give a unified view of the relation between the SL(2) KdV, the mKdV, and the UrKdV equations through the Fréchet derivatives and their inverses. For this we introduce a new procedure of obtaining the Ur-KdV equation, where we require that it has no nonlocal operators. We extend this method to the SL(3) KdV equation, i.e., Boussinesq(Bsq) equation and obtain the hamiltonian structure of Ur-Bs...

We consider the logarithmic Korteweg–de Vries (log–KdV) equation, which models solitary waves in anharmonic chains with Hertzian interaction forces. By using an approximating sequence of global solutions of the regularized generalized KdV equation in H(R) with conserved L norm and energy, we construct a weak global solution of the log–KdV equation in a subset of H(R). This construction yields c...
