In this paper, an efficient numerical schemes based on the Haar wavelet method are applied for finding numerical solution of nonlinear third-order modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation as well as modified Burgers’ equations. The numerical results are then compared with the exact solutions. The accuracy of the obtained solutions is quite high even if the number of calculation points is small.

The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with periodic boundary conditions is considered. The interaction of a periodic solitary wave (cnoidal wave) with high frequency radiation of finite energy (L-norm) is studied. It is proved that the interaction of low frequency component (cnoidal wave) and high frequency radiation is weak for finite time in the following sense: the radiation approximately sat...

We give an alternative derivation of two Painlevé hierarchies. This is done by constructing generalized scaling reductions of the Korteweg-de Vries and dispersive water wave hierarchies. We also construct a generalized scaling reduction of Burgers hierarchy. Corresponding author: P. R. Gordoa. Tel: +34 91 4888243; Fax: +34 91 488 7338; email: [email protected]

We generalize the approach first proposed by Manton [Nucl. Phys. B 150, 397 (1979)] to compute solitary wave interactions in translationally invariant, dispersive equations that support such localized solutions. The approach is illustrated using as examples solitons in the Korteweg-de Vries equation, standing waves in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and kinks as well as breathers of the sin...

The Ostrovsky equation is a model for gravity waves propagating down a channel under the influence of Coriolis force. This equation is a modification of the famous Korteweg-de Vries equation and is also Hamiltonian. However the Ostrovsky equation is not integrable and in this contribution we prove its nonintegrability. We also study local bifurcations of its solitary waves. MSC: 35Q35, 35Q53, 3...

Stationary periodic solutions of the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation are obtained and analyzed for different parameter values in the context of the problem of a supersonic flow of a Bose-Einstein condensate past an obstacle. The asymptotic connections with the corresponding periodic solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries and nonlinear Schrödinger equations are studied and typical spatial ...

We provide a new analytical approach to operator splitting for equations of the type ut = Au + B(u) where A is a linear operator and B is quadratic. A particular example is the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation ut−uux +uxxx = 0. We show that the Godunov and Strang splitting methods converge with the expected rates if the initial data are sufficiently regular.

We quantify the notion of a dense soliton gas by establishing an upper bound for the integrated density of states of the quantum-mechanical Schrödinger operator associated with the Korteweg-de Vries soliton gas dynamics. As a by-product of our derivation, we find the speed of sound in the soliton gas with Gaussian spectral distribution function.

This article presents a formulation of the time-fractional generalized Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation using the Euler-Lagrange variational technique in the Riemann-Liouville derivative sense. It finds an approximate solitary wave solution, and shows that He’s variational iteration method is an efficient technique in finding the solution.

We present a new method for computation of the Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy via heat invariants of the 1-dimensional Schrödinger operator. As a result new explicit formulas for the KdV hierarchy are obtained. Our method is based on an asymptotic expansion of resolvent kernels of elliptic operators due to S. Agmon and Y. Kannai.
