Generalized Korteweg–De Vries equation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Crowsnest (talk | contribs) at 17:22, 17 June 2015 (there are many "generalized" kdv equations, this is just one of them). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

In mathematics a generalized Korteweg–de Vries equation (Masayoshi Tsutsumi, Toshio Mukasa & Riichi Iino 1970) is the nonlinear partial differential equation

The function f is sometimes taken to be f(u) = uk+1/(k+1) + u for some positive integer k (where the extra u is a "drift term" that makes the analysis a little easier). The case f(u) = 3u2 is the original Korteweg–de Vries equation.
