The Cauchy problem for the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation with small dispersion of order ǫ, ǫ ≪ 1, is characterized by the appearance of a zone of rapid modulated oscillations of wave-length of order ǫ. These oscillations are approximately described by the elliptic solution of KdV where the amplitude, wave-number and frequency are not constant but evolve according to the Whitham equations. In...

This article presents a numerical investigation of overtaking collisions between two solitary waves in the context Schamel equation. Our study reveals different regimes characterized by behavior wave interactions. In certain regimes, maintain well-separated crests consistently over time, while other number local maxima undergoes variations following patterns 2→1→2→1→2 or 2→1→2. These findings d...

We prove two finite dimensional approximation results and a symplectic non-squeezing property for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) flow on the circle T. The nonsqueezing result relies on the aforementioned approximations and the finite-dimensional nonsqueezing theorem of Gromov [13]. Unlike the work of Kuksin [21] which initiated the investigation of non-squeezing results for infinite dimensional Ha...

The dynamics of the highly nonlinear fifth order KdV-type equation is discussed in the framework of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms. The symmetries of the Lagrangian produce three commuting conserved quantities that are found to be recursively related to one-another for a certain specific value of the power of nonlinearity. The above cited recursion relations are obeyed with a second ...
