A mixture of liquid and gas bubbles of the same size may be considered as an example of a classic nonlinear medium. In practice, analysis of propagation of the pressure waves in a liquid with gas bubbles is important problem. We know that there are solitary and periodic waves in a mixture of a liquid and gas bubbles and these waves can be described by nonlinear partial differential equations. A...

In this paper, we study the orbital stability for a four-parameter family of periodic stationary traveling wave solutions to the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (gKdV) equation ut = uxxx + f(u)x. In particular, we derive sufficient conditions for such a solution to be orbitally stable in terms of the Hessian of the classical action of the corresponding traveling wave ordinary differential equatio...

The integrable 3rd-order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation emerges uniquely at linear order in the asymptotic expansion for unidirectional shallow water waves. However, at quadratic order, this asymptotic expansion produces an entire family of shallow water wave equations that are asymptotically equivalent to each other, under a group of nonlinear, nonlocal, normal-form transformations introduce...

Nonlinear long wave propagation in a medium with periodic parameters is considered in the framework of a variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation. The characteristic period of the variable medium is varied from slow to rapid, and its amplitude is also varied. For the case of a piecewise constant coefficient with a large scale for each constant piece, explicit results for the damping of a...

Transcritical flow over a localised obstacle generates upstream and downstream nonlinear wavetrains. In the weakly nonlinear long-wave regime, this flow has been modeled with the forced Korteweg-de Vries equation, where numerical simulations and asymptotic solutions have demonstrated that the upstream and downstream nonlinear wavetrains have the structure of unsteady undular bores, connected by...

We prove that Mathieu’sN = 2 supersymmetric Korteweg–de Vries equations with a = 1 or 4 admit Hirota’s n-supersoliton solutions, whose nonlinear interaction does not produce any phase shifts. For initial profiles that can not be distinguished from a one-soliton solutions at times t ≪ 0, we reveal the possibility of a spontaneous decay and, within a finite time, transformation into a solitonic s...

Résumé Nous continuons l’étude du problème de Cauchy et aux limites pour l’équation de Korteweg-de Vries initiée dans [9]. On obtient des effets régularisants globaux uniformes par rapport à la longueur de l’intervalle et nous montrons que la solution du problème aux limites converge, lorsque la longueur de l’intervalle tend vers l’infini, vers la solution du problème posé sur le quart de plan ...

This paper extends the steepest descent method for Riemann-Hilbert problems introduced by Deift and Zhou in a critical new way. We present, in particular, an algorithm, to obtain the support of the Riemann-Hilbert problem for leading asymptotics. Applying this extended method to small dispersion KdV (Korteweg-de Vries) equation, we (i) recover the variational formulation of P. D. Lax and C. D. ...

Abstract: Two class of fractional type solutions of Riccati equation are constructed from its three known solutions. These fractional type solutions are used to propose an approach for constructing infinite number of exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations by means of the extended tanh–function method. The infinite number of exact traveling wave solutions of the long–sho...
