An elementary yet remarkable similarity between the Cole-Hopf transformation relating the Burgers and heat equation and Miura's transformation connecting the KdV and mKdV equations is studied in detail. 1. Introduction Our aim in this note is to display the close similarity between the well-known Cole{Hopf transformation relating the Burgers and the heat equation, and the celebrated Miura trans...

We analyze operator splitting methods applied to scalar equations with a nonlinear advection operator, and a linear (local or nonlocal) diffusion operator or a linear dispersion operator. The advection velocity is determined from the scalar unknown itself and hence the equations are so-called active scalar equations. Examples are provided by the surface quasi-geostrophic and aggregation equatio...

In this paper we construct a family of commuting multidimen-sional differential operators of order 3, which is closely related to the KdV hierarchy. We find a common eigenfunction of this family and an algebraic relation between these operators. Using these operators we associate a hy-perelliptic curve to any solution of the stationary KdV equation. A basic generating function of the solutions ...

where μ, ν are positive constants. This equation, in the case μ = 0, was derived independently by Sivashinsky [1] and Kuramoto [2] with the purpose to model amplitude and phase expansion of pattern formations in different physical situations, for example, in the theory of a flame propagation in turbulent flows of gaseous combustible mixtures, see Sivashinsky [1], and in the theory of turbulence...

We study the small dispersion limit for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation ut + 6uux + ǫ uxxx = 0 in a critical scaling regime where x approaches the trailing edge of the region where the KdV solution shows oscillatory behavior. Using the Riemann-Hilbert approach, we obtain an asymptotic expansion for the KdV solution in a double scaling limit, which shows that the oscillations degenerate to ...

This paper aims to study the fractional differential systems arising in warm plasma, which exhibits traveling wave-type solutions. Time-fractional Korteweg-De Vries (KdV) and time-fractional Kawahara equations are used analyze cold collision-free magnet-acoustic waves shock wave formation respectively. The decomposition method is solve proposed equations. Also, convergence uniqueness of obtaine...

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....
