Fifth-order Korteweg–De Vries equation

A fifth-order Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation in 1+1 dimensions related to the Korteweg–de Vries equation.^[1] Fifth order KdV equations may be used to model dispersive phenomena such as plasma waves when the third-order contributions are small. The term may refer to equations of the form

u_{t}+\alpha u_{xxx}+\beta u_{xxxxx}={\frac {\partial }{\partial x}}f(u,u_{x},u_{xx})

where $f$ is a smooth function and $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are real with $\beta \neq 0$ . Unlike the KdV system, it is not integrable. It admits a great variety of soliton solutions.^[2]
