Soliton damping in weakly dissipative media has been studied for several decades, usually using the asymptotic theory of the slowly-varying solitary wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Damping then occurs according to the energy balance equation, and a shelf is generated behind the soliton. Various examples of this process have been given by Ott & Sudan (1970) Pelinovsky (197...

In this paper, we apply the Exp-function method to Rosenau-Kawahara and Rosenau-KdV equations. Rosenau-Kawahara equation is the combination of the Rosenau and standard Kawahara equations and Rosenau-KdV equation is the combination of the Rosenau and standard KdV equations. These equations are nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDE) which play an important role in mathematical physics. E...

Darboux transformation is reconsidered for the supersymmetric KdV system. By iterating the Darboux transformation, a supersymmetric extension of the Crum transformation is obtained for the Manin-Radul SKdV equation, in doing so one gets Wronskian superdeterminant representations for the solutions. Particular examples provide us explicit supersymmetric extensions, super solitons, of the standard...

We discuss the recent paper by Inan and Ugurlu [Inan I.E., Ugurlu Y., Exp-function method for the exact solutions of fifth order KdV equation and modified Burgers equation, Appl. Math. Comp. 217 (2010) 1294 – 1299]. We demonstrate that all exact solutions of fifth order KdV equation and modified Burgers equation by Inan and Ugurlu are trivial solutions that are reduced to constants. Moreover, w...

Long's equation describes stationary flows to all orders of nonlinearity and dispersion. Dissipation is neglected. In this paper, Long's equation is used to attempt to model the propagation of a solibore -a train of internal waves in shallow water at the deepening phase of the internal tide. 1. The Solibore Phenomenon The internal tide in shallow water often has a sawtooth shape rather than a s...

Abstract: In this paper, we studied the numerical solution of a time-fractional Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation with new generalized fractional derivative proposed recently. The fractional derivative employed in this paper was defined in Caputo sense and contained a scale function and a weight function. A finite difference/collocation scheme based on Jacobi–Gauss–Lobatto (JGL) nodes was applie...

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 ...

A quantum theory is developed for a difference-difference system which can serve as a toy-model of the quantum Korteveg-de-Vries equation. Introduction This Letter presents an example of a completely integrable ‘discrete-space-time quantum model’ whose Heisenberg equations of motion have the form φ (τ, n) φ (τ, n− 1) + λ φ (τ, n− 1) φ (τ − 1, n− 1) = λ φ (τ, n) φ (τ − 1, n) + φ (τ − 1, n) φ (τ ...

Integrable equations exhibit interesting conformal properties and can be written in terms of the so-called conformal invariants. The most basic and important example is the KdV equation and the corresponding Schwarz-KdV equation. Other examples, including the Camassa-Holm equation and the associated Camassa-Holm equation are investigated in this paper. It is shown that the Bäcklund transform is...
