The method of obtaining new integrable coupled equations through enlarging spectral problems of known integrable equations, which was recently proposed by W.-X. Ma, can produce nonintegrable systems as well. This phenomenon is demonstrated and explained by the example of the enlarged spectral problem of the Korteweg–de Vries equation.

An alternate generalized Korteweg-de Vries system is studied here. A procedure for generating solutions is given. A theorem is presented, which is subsequently applied to this equation to obtain a type of Bäcklund transformation for several specific cases of the power of the derivative term appearing in the equation. In the process, several interesting, new, ordinary, differential equations are...

We prove the global existence and uniqueness of solutions both in the energy space and in the space of square integrable functions for a Korteweg-de Vries equation with noise. The noise is multiplicative, white in time, and is the muliplication by the solution of a homogeneous noise in the space variable.

Solutions of a boundary value problem for the Korteweg–de Vries equation are approximated numerically using a finite-difference method, and a collocation method based on Chebyshev polynomials. The performance of the two methods is compared using exact solutions that are exponentially small at the boundaries. The Chebyshev method is found to be more efficient. © 2009 IMACS.

Abstract In this study, we present two different methods a sech-tanh method and extended tanh-method to obtained the soliton solutions of the two-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (KdVB) equation with the initial conditions. These solutions include bright and dark solitary wave solutions, triangular solutions and complex line soliton wave solution. These solutions are stable and have applic...

In Section 1 we present a general principle for associating nonlinear equations of evolutions with linear operators so that the eigenvalues of the linear operator are integrals of the nonlinear equation. A striking instance of such a procedure is the discovery by Gardner, Miura and Kruskal that the eigenvalues of the Schrodinger operator are integrals of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. In Secti...

Stationary wave solutions of the perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation are considered in the presence of external hamiltonian perturbations. Conditions of their chaotic behaviour are studied with the help of Melnikov theory. For the homoclinic chaos Poincaré sections are constructed to demonstrate the complicated behaviour, and Lyapunov exponents are also numerically calculated.

In recent years two nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations have attracted much attention due to their integrable structure. We prove that both equations arise in the modeling of the propagation of shallow water waves over a flat bed. The equations capture stronger nonlinear effects than the classical nonlinear dispersive Benjamin–Bona–Mahoney and Korteweg–de Vries equations. In par...
