The modified KdV equation with variable coefficients: Exact uni/bi-variable travelling wave-like solutions

In this paper, the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation with variable coefficients (vc-mKdV equation) is investigated via two kinds of approaches and symbolic computation. On the one hand, we firstly reduce the vc-mKdV equation to a second-order nonlinear nonhomogeneous ODE using travelling wave-like similarity transformation. And then we obtain its many types of exact fractional solution...

Exact Solutions for a Generalized KdV-MKdV Equation with Variable Coefficients

By using solutions of an ordinary differential equation, an auxiliary equationmethod is described to seek exact solutions of variablecoefficient KdV-MKdV equation. As a result, more new exact nontravelling solutions, which include soliton solutions, combined soliton solutions, triangular periodic solutions, Jacobi elliptic function solutions, and combined Jacobi elliptic function solutions, for...

Nonlinear Stability of Solitary Travelling-wave Solutions for the Kawahara-kdv and Modified Kawahara-kdv Equations

In this paper we establish the nonlinear stability of solitary travelling-wave solutions for the Kawahara-KdV equation ut + uux + uxxx − γ1uxxxxx = 0, and the modified Kawahara-KdV equation ut + 3u 2ux + uxxx − γ2uxxxxx = 0, where γi ∈ R is a positive number when i = 1, 2. The main approach used to determine the stability of solitary travelling-waves will be the theory developed by Albert in [1].

New Exact Solutions of a Variable-Coefficient KdV Equation

In this paper, we apply the Miura transformation to construct the connection between a variablecoefficient KdV (vcKdV) equation and a variable-coefficient modified KdV (vcmKdV) equation under certain constraint. Solving the vcmKdV equation by use of the auxiliary equation method and using the Miura transformation, we find a rich variety of new exact solutions for the vcKdV equation, which inclu...
