The Ostrovsky equation is a model for gravity waves propagating down a channel under the influence of Coriolis force. This equation is a modification of the famous Korteweg-de Vries equation and is also Hamiltonian. However the Ostrovsky equation is not integrable and in this contribution we prove its nonintegrability. We also study local bifurcations of its solitary waves. MSC: 35Q35, 35Q53, 3...

When posed on a periodic domain in one space variable, linear dispersive evolution equations with integral polynomial dispersion relations exhibit strikingly different behaviors depending upon when the time is rational or irrational relative to the length of the interval: the Talbot phenomenon of dispersive quantization and fractalization. The purpose of this paper is to show that these phenome...

We study local and global well posedness of the k-generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation in weighted Sobolev spaces Hs(R) ∩ L2(|x|2rdx).

We show that the well-known order reduction phenomenon affecting implicit Runge-Kutta methods does not occur when approximating periodic solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation.

In this paper, we present homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for solving the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and convergence study of homotopy perturbation method for nonlinear partial differential equation. We compared our solution with the exact solution and homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results show that the HPM is an appropriate method for solving nonlinear equation.

Long waves in a current of an inviscid fluid of constant density flowing through a channel ofarbitrary cross section under disturbances of pressure distribution on free surface and obstructors on thewall of the channel are considered. The first order asymptotic approximation of the elevation of the freesurface satisfies a forced Korteweg-de Vries equation when the current is nea...

We describe a conservative numerical scheme with the property of uniform exponential decay for the critical case of the Generalized Korteweg-de Vrie equation (p = 4), with damping.

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...

We generalize the approach first proposed by Manton [Nucl. Phys. B 150, 397 (1979)] to compute solitary wave interactions in translationally invariant, dispersive equations that support such localized solutions. The approach is illustrated using as examples solitons in the Korteweg-de Vries equation, standing waves in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and kinks as well as breathers of the sin...
