This paper concerns the inverse problem of retrieving the principal coefficient in a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation from boundary measurements of a single solution. The Lipschitz stability of this inverse problem is obtained using a new global Carleman estimate for the linearized KdV equation. The proof is based on the Bukhgĕım-Klibanov method.

We study the Cauchy initial-value problem for the Benjamin-Ono equation in the zero-dispersion limit, and we establish the existence of this limit in a certain weak sense by developing an appropriate analogue of the method invented by Lax and Levermore to analyze the corresponding limit for the Korteweg–de Vries equation. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We obtain an exact solution for the breather lattice solution of the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. Numerical simulation of the breather lattice demonstrates its instability due to the breather-breather interaction. However, such multibreather structures can be stabilized through the concurrent application of ac driving and viscous damping terms.

We study that a solution of the initial value problem associated for the coupled system of equations of Korteweg de Vries type which appears as a model to describe the strong interaction of weakly nonlinear long waves, has analyticity in time and smoothing effect up to real analyticity if the initial data only has a single point singularity at x = 0.

Generalizations of the Korteweg-de Vries equation are considered, and some explicit solutions are presented. There are situations where solutions engender the interesting property of being chiral, that is, of having velocity determined in terms of the parameters that define the generalized equation, with a definite sign.

– It is shown that if u is a solution of the initial value problem for the generalized Korteweg–de Vries equation such that there exists b ∈ R with suppu(·, tj ) ⊆ (b,∞) (or (−∞, b)), for j = 1,2 (t1 = t2), then u≡ 0.  2002 Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS AMS classification: Primary 35Q53; secondary 35G25; 35D99

In this paper, we present homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for solving the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and convergence study of homotopy perturbation method for nonlinear partial differential equation. We compared our solution with the exact solution and homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results show that the HPM is an appropriate method for solving nonlinear equation.

The bifurcation analysis of the K (m, n) equation, which serves as a generalized model for the Korteweg-de Vries equation describing the dynamics of shallow water waves on ocean beaches and lake shores, is carried out in this paper. The phase portraits are given and solitary wave solutions are obtained. Singular periodic wave solutions are also given in this work.

We study the Bäcklund symmetry for the Moyal Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) hierarchy based on the Kuperschmidt-Wilson Theorem associated with second Gelfand-Dickey structure with respect to the Moyal bracket, which generalizes the result of Adler for the ordinary KdV. PACS: 02.30.Ik, 11.10.Ef

A new method for the computation of conserved densities of nonlinear differentialdifference equations is applied to Toda lattices and discretizations of the Korteweg-de Vries and nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The algorithm, which can be implemented in computer algebra languages such as Mathematica, can be used as an indicator of integrability.
