We consider the (KdV)/(KP-I) asymptotic regime for the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with a general nonlinearity. In a previous work, we have proved the convergence to the Korteweg-de Vries equation (in dimension 1) and to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation (in higher dimensions) by a compactness argument. We propose a weakly transverse Boussinesq type system formally equivalent to the (KdV)/...

There are several nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) that appears in various areas of applied mathematics and theoretical physics [1–13]. These NLEEs are a key to the understanding of various physical phenomena that governs the world today. Some of these commonly studied NLEEs are the nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation (NLSE), Korteweg– de Vries (KdV) equation, sine–Gordon equation (SGE), just...

We revisit existence and stability of two-pulse solutions in the fifth-order Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation with two new results. First, we modify the Petviashvili method of successive iterations for numerical (spectral) approximations of pulses and prove convergence of iterations in a neighborhood of two-pulse solutions. Second, we prove structural stability of embedded eigenvalues of negati...

The initial boundary-value problem for the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation on the negative quarter-plane, x < 0 and t > 0, is considered. The formulation of this problem is different to the usual initial boundary-value problem on the positive quarter-plane, for which x > 0 and t > 0. Two boundary conditions are required at x = 0 for the negative quarter-plane problem, in contrast to the one bo...

The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is known as a model of long waves in an infinitely long canal over a flat bottom and approximates the two-dimensional water wave problem, which is a free boundary problem for incompressible Euler equation with the irrotational condition. In this paper, we consider the validity of this approximation in the case of presence of surface tension. Moreover, we con...

It is well known that x-translation and t-translation invariance of (1) leads to the following symmetries: ux, ut of the KdV equation (1). In order to find more generalized symmetries, the concepts of recursion operators or strong symmetries, and hereditary symmetries were introduced by Olver and Fuchssteiner and used to find these symmetries [1, 2]. Furthermore, Galilean invariance of the KdV ...

In this paper, we deal with controllability properties of linear and nonlinear Korteweg–de Vries equations in a bounded interval. The main part of this paper is a result of uniform controllability of a linear KdV equation in the limit of zero-dispersion. Moreover, we establish a result of null controllability for the linear equation via the left Dirichlet boundary condition, and of exact contro...

The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is widely recognized as a simple model for unidirectional weakly nonlinear dispersive waves on the surface of a shallow body of fluid. While solutions of the KdV equation describe the shape of the free surface, information about the underlying fluid flow is encoded into the derivation of the equation, and the present article focuses on the formulation of mas...

We present a novel integrable non-autonomous partial differential equation of the Schwarzian type, i.e. invariant under Möbius transformations, that is related to the Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. In fact, this PDE can be considered as the generating equation for the entire hierarchy of Schwarzian KdV equations. We present its Lax pair, establish its connection with the SKdV hierarchy, its Miura...
