Variational Method for Studying Solitons in the Korteweg-DeVries Equation
We use a variational method based on the principle of least action to obtain approximate time-dependent single soliton solutions to the KdV equation. A class of trial variational functions of the form u(x, t) = −A(t) exp [ −β(t) |x− q(t)| ] , with n a continuous real variable, is used to parametrize timedependent solutions. We find that this class of trial functions leads to soliton-like soluti...
متن کاملPole Dynamics for Elliptic Solutions of the Korteweg-deVries Equation
The real, nonsingular elliptic solutions of the Korteweg-deVries equation are studied through the time dynamics of their poles in the complex plane. The dynamics of these poles is governed by a dynamical system with a constraint. This constraint is shown to be solvable for any finite number of poles located in the fundamental domain of the elliptic function, often in many different ways. Specia...
متن کاملThe Control-Volume Finite-Difference Approximation to the Diffusion Equation
A two-dimensional computer code for solution of the diffusion equation (Poisson equation) is described. The code is implemented in Matlab, and is intended for educational use. The partial differential equation is converted to a system of linear equations with the finite-volume method. The system is solved by a direct method, though extending the code to use iterative methods would not be diffic...
متن کاملOn the finite difference approximation to the convection-diffusion equation
In this paper, the system of ordinary differential equations arisen from discretizing the convection-diffusion equation with respect to the space variable to compute its approximate solution along a time level is considered. This system involves in computing ey for some vector y, where k is the time step-size and A is a large tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix. The common ways to compute an approximat...
متن کاملWeakly Nonlinear Wavepackets in the Korteweg-deVries Equation: The KdV/NLS Connection
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...
