In order to investigate corrections to the common KdV approximation for surface water waves in a canal, we derive modulation equations for the evolution of long wavelength initial data. We work in Lagrangian coordinates. The equations which govern corrections to the KdV approximation consist of linearized and inhomogeneous KdV equations plus an inhomogeneous wave equation. These equations are e...

The long-time evolution of the KdV-type solitons propagating in ferromagnetic materials is considered trough a multi-time formalism, it is governed by all equations of the KdV Hierarchy. The scaling coefficients of the higher order time variables are explicitly computed in terms of the physical parameters, showing that the KdV asymptotic is valid only when the angle between the propagation dire...

ABSTRACT. 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. 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. Whereas the differ...

We prove the nonsqueezing property of the coupled Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) type system. Relying on Gromov’s nonsqueezing theorem for finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems, the argument is to approximate the solutions to the original infinite dimensional Hamiltonian system by a frequency truncated finite dimensional system, and then the nonsqueezing property is transferred to the infinite dimens...

An elementary yet remarkable similarity between the Cole-Hopf transformation relating the Burgers and heat equation and Miura's transformation connecting the KdV and mKdV equations is studied in detail. 1. Introduction Our aim in this note is to display the close similarity between the well-known Cole{Hopf transformation relating the Burgers and the heat equation, and the celebrated Miura trans...

We construct a one-parameter family of N=3 supersymmetric extensions of the KdV equation as a Hamiltonian flow on N=3 superconformal algebra and argue that it is non-integrable for any choice of the parameter. Then we propose a modified N=3 super KdV equation which possesses the higher order conserved quantities and so is a candidate for an integrable system. Upon reduction to N=2, it yields th...

For any two arbitrary positive integers ‘n’ and ‘m’, using the m–th KdV hierarchy and the (n + m)–th KdV hierarchy as building blocks, we are able to construct another integrable hierarchy (referred to as the (n,m)–th KdV hierarchy). The W–algebra associated to the second Hamiltonian structure of the (n,m)–th KdV hierarchy (called W (n,m) algebra) is isomorphic via a Miura map to the direct sum...
