In this paper we consider two numerical scheme based on trapezoidal rule in time for the linearized KdV equation in one space dimension. The goal is to derive some suitable artificial boundary conditions for these two full discretization using Z-transformation. We give some numerical benchmark examples from the literature to illustrate our findings.
In this paper we study the asymptotics of the Korteweg--de Vries (KdV) equation with steplike initial data, which leads to shock waves, in the middle region between the dispersive tail and the soliton region, as $t rightarrow infty$. In our previous work we have dealt with this question, but failed to obtain uniform estimates in $x$ and $t$ because of the previously unknown singular behaviour of the matrix model solution. The main goal of this paper is to close this gap. We present an alternative approach to the usual argument involving a small norm Riemann--Hilbert (R-H) problem, which is based instead on Fredholm index theory for singular integral operators. In particular, we avoid the construction of a global model matrix solution, which would be singular for arbitrary large $x$ and $t$, and utilize only the symmetric model vector solution, which always exists and is unique.
In this work, we extend the Riemann-Hilbert (RH) method in order to study the coupled modified Korteweg-de Vries equation (cmKdV) under nonzero boundary conditions (NZBCs), and successfully find its solutions with their various dynamic propagation behaviors. In the process of spectral analysis, it is necessary to introduce Riemann surface to avoid the discussion of multi-valued functions, and to obtain the analytical and asymptotic properties needed to establish the RH problem. The eigenfunction have a column that is not analytic in a given region, so we introduce the auxiliary eigenfunction and the adjoint matrix, which is necessary to derive the analytical eigenfunctions. The eigenfunctions have three kinds of symmetry, which leads to three kinds of symmetry of the scattering matrix, and the discrete spectrum is also divided into three categories by us. The asymptoticity of the modified eigenfunction is derived. Based on the analysis, the RH problem with four jump matrices in a given area is established, and the relationship between the cmKdV equation and the solution of the RH problem is revealed. The residue condition of reflection coefficient with simple pole is established. According to the classification of discrete spectrum, we discuss the soliton solutions corresponding to three kinds of discrete spectrum classification and their propagation behaviors in detail.
Considering the Cauchy problem for the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation begin{eqnarray*} u_t+u_{xxx}+epsilon |partial_x|^{2alpha}u+(u^2)_x=0, u(0)=phi, end{eqnarray*} where $0<epsilon,alphaleq 1$ and $u$ is a real-valued function, we show that it is globally well-posed in $H^s (s>s_alpha)$, and uniformly globally well-posed in $H^s (s>-3/4)$ for all $epsilon in (0,1)$. Moreover, we prove that for any $T>0$, its solution converges in $C([0,T]; H^s)$ to that of the KdV equation if $epsilon$ tends to 0.
Original Whithams method of derivation of modulation equations is applied to systems whose dynamics is described by a perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation. Two situations are distinguished: (i) the perturbation leads to appearance of right-hand sides in the modulation equations so that they become non-uniform; (ii) the perturbation leads to modification of the matrix of Whitham velocities. General form of Whitham modulation equations is obtained for each case. The essential difference between them is illustrated by an example of so-called `generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation. Method of finding steady-state solutions of perturbed Whitham equations in the case of dissipative perturbations is considered.
The theory of inverse scattering is developed to study the initial-value problem for the modified matrix Korteweg-de Vries (mmKdV) equation with the $2mtimes2m$ $(mgeq 1)$ Lax pairs under the nonzero boundary conditions at infinity. In the direct problem, by introducing a suitable uniform transformation we establish the proper complex $z$-plane in order to discuss the Jost eigenfunctions, scattering matrix and their analyticity and symmetry of the equation. Moreover the asymptotic behavior of the Jost functions and scattering matrix needed in the inverse problem are analyzed via Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin expansion. In the inverse problem, the generalized Riemann-Hilbert problem of the mmKdV equation is first established by using the analyticity of the modified eigenfunctions and scattering coefficients. The reconstruction formula of potential function with reflection-less case is derived by solving this Riemann-Hilbert problem and using the scattering data. In addition the dynamic behavior of the solutions for the focusing mmKdV equation including one- and two- soliton solutions are presented in detail under the the condition that the potential is scalar and the $2times2$ symmetric matrix. Finally, we provide some detailed proofs and weak version of trace formulas to show that the asymptotic phase of the potential and the scattering data.
