Nonlinear partial differential equations are widely used to describe complex phenomena in various fields of science, for example the Korteweg-de Vries-Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation (KdV-KS equation) and the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur shallow water wave equation (AKNS-SWW equation). To our knowledge the exact solutions for the first equation were still not obtained and the obtained exact solutio...

We discuss the recent paper by Inan and Ugurlu [Inan I.E., Ugurlu Y., Exp-function method for the exact solutions of fifth order KdV equation and modified Burgers equation, Appl. Math. Comp. 217 (2010) 1294 – 1299]. We demonstrate that all exact solutions of fifth order KdV equation and modified Burgers equation by Inan and Ugurlu are trivial solutions that are reduced to constants. Moreover, w...

Long's equation describes stationary flows to all orders of nonlinearity and dispersion. Dissipation is neglected. In this paper, Long's equation is used to attempt to model the propagation of a solibore -a train of internal waves in shallow water at the deepening phase of the internal tide. 1. The Solibore Phenomenon The internal tide in shallow water often has a sawtooth shape rather than a s...

Abstract: In this paper, we studied the numerical solution of a time-fractional Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation with new generalized fractional derivative proposed recently. The fractional derivative employed in this paper was defined in Caputo sense and contained a scale function and a weight function. A finite difference/collocation scheme based on Jacobi–Gauss–Lobatto (JGL) nodes was applie...

The spectral problem associated with the linearization about solitary waves of the generalized fifth-order KdV equation is formulated in terms of the Evans function, a complex analytic function whose zeros correspond to eigenvalues. A numerical framework, based on a fast robust shooting algorithm on exterior algebra spaces is introduced. The complete algorithm has several new features, includin...

The dynamics of the highly nonlinear fifth order KdV-type equation is discussed in the framework of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms. The symmetries of the Lagrangian produce three commuting conserved quantities that are found to be recursively related to one-another for a certain specific value of the power of nonlinearity. The above cited recursion relations are obeyed with a second ...

A quantum theory is developed for a difference-difference system which can serve as a toy-model of the quantum Korteveg-de-Vries equation. Introduction This Letter presents an example of a completely integrable ‘discrete-space-time quantum model’ whose Heisenberg equations of motion have the form φ (τ, n) φ (τ, n− 1) + λ φ (τ, n− 1) φ (τ − 1, n− 1) = λ φ (τ, n) φ (τ − 1, n) + φ (τ − 1, n) φ (τ ...

Integrable equations exhibit interesting conformal properties and can be written in terms of the so-called conformal invariants. The most basic and important example is the KdV equation and the corresponding Schwarz-KdV equation. Other examples, including the Camassa-Holm equation and the associated Camassa-Holm equation are investigated in this paper. It is shown that the Bäcklund transform is...

Spatially periodic complex-valued solutions of the Burgers and KdV-Burgers equations are studied in this paper. It is shown that for any sufficiently large time T , there exists an explicit initial data such that its corresponding solution of the Burgers equation blows up at T . In addition, the global convergence and regularity of series solutions is established for initial data satisfying mil...

If the initial condition for the Korteweg-deVries (KdV) equation is a weakly nonlinear wavepacket, then its evolution is described by the Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. This KdV/NLS connection has been known for many years, but its various aspects and implications have been discussed only in asides. In this note, we attempt a more focused and comprehensive discussion including such as is...
