Output Feedback Control of a Cascade System of Linear Korteweg--de Vries Equations

Coupled Korteweg-de Vries equations

When a system supports two distinct long-wave modes with nearly coincident phase speeds, the weakly nonlinear and linear dispersion unfolding generically leads to two coupled Korteweg-de Vries equations. In this paper, we review the derivation of such systems in stratified fluids, extending previous studies by allowing for background shear flows. Coupled Korteweg-de Vries systems have very rich...

Numerical inverse scattering for the Korteweg–de Vries and modified Korteweg–de Vries equations

Recent advances in the numerical solution of Riemann–Hilbert problems allow for the implementation of a Cauchy initial value problem solver for the Korteweg–de Vries equation (KdV) and the defocusing modified Korteweg–de Vries equation (mKdV), without any boundary approximation. Borrowing ideas from the method of nonlinear steepest descent, this method is demonstrated to be asymptotically accur...

Non-linear Equations of Korteweg-de Vries Type, Finite-zone Linear Operators, and Abelian Varieties

Numerical solitons of generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations

We propose a numerical method for finding solitary wave solutions of generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations by solving the nonlinear eigenvalue problem on an unbounded domain. The artificial boundary conditions are obtained to make the domain finite. We specially discuss the soliton solutions of the K(m, n) equation and KdV-K(m, n) equation. Furthermore for the mixed models of linear and nonli...

Rapid Exponential Stabilization for a Linear Korteweg-de Vries Equation

We consider a control system for a Korteweg-de Vries equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and Neumann boundary control. We address the rapid exponential stabilization problem. More precisely, we build some feedback laws forcing the solutions of the closed-loop system to decay exponentially to zero with arbitrarily prescribed decay rates. We also perform some numerical computa...
