In this paper we establish a method to obtain the stability of periodic travelling-wave solutions for equations of Korteweg–de Vries-type ut + uux − Mux = 0, with M being a general pseudodifferential operator and where p ≥ 1 is an integer. Our approach uses the theory of totally positive operators, the Poisson summation theorem, and the theory of Jacobi elliptic functions. In particular we obta...

It has been unknown whether Hirota's discrete Korteweg-de Vries equation and the lattice sine-Gordon have consistency around a cube (CAC) property. In this paper, we show that they CAC Moreover, also can be extended to systems on 3-dimensional integer lattice.

— The conservation and convergence properties o f spectral Fourier methods for the numerical approximation o f the Korteweg-de Vries équation are analyzed. It is proven thaï the (aliased) collocation pseudospectral method enjoys the same convergence properties as the spectral Galerkin method, which is less effective from the computational point ofview. This resuit provides a précise mathematica...

— In this paper we give an algorithmic method of deriving the Lax pair for the modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. For each n, the compatibility condition gives the n-th member of the hierarchy, rather than its derivative. A direct consequence of this is that we obtain the isomonodromy problem for the second Painlevé hierarchy, which is derived through a scaling reduction. Résumé (La paire de...

An explicit construction of solutions of the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation given a solution of the (ordinary) Korteweg-de Vries equation is provided. Our theory is based on commutation methods (i.e., N = 1 supersymmetry) underlying Miura's transformation that links solutions of the two evolution equations. In connection with the extensively studied Korteweg-de Vries (KdV-) equation its co...

We study the stability of the steady waves forced by a moving localised pressure disturbance in water of finite depth. The steady waves take the form of a downstream wavetrain for subcritical flow, but for supercritical flow there is a solution branch for each specified forcing term, which has two localised solitarylike solutions for each Froude number, a small-amplitude and a large-amplitude s...

In this paper we present a vectorial Darboux transformation, in terms of ordinary determinants, for the supersymmetric extension of the Korteweg-de Vries equation proposed by Manin and Radul. It is shown how this transformation reduces to the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Soliton type solutions are constructed by dressing the vacuum and we present some relevant plots. On leave of absence from Bei...

The behavior of linear and nonlinear dust acoustic waves (DAWs) in an unmagnetized plasma including inertialess electrons and positrons, ions, and mobile positive/negative dust grains are studied. Reductive perturbation method is employed for small and finite amplitude DAWs. To investigate the solitary waves, the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation is derived and the solution is presented. B...
