We study the class of generalized Korteweg-DeVries equations derivable from the Lagrangian: $ L(l,p) = \int \left( \frac{1}{2} \vp_{x} \vp_{t} - { {(\vp_{x})^{l}} \over {l(l-1)}} + \alpha(\vp_{x})^{p} (\vp_{xx})^{2} \right) dx, $ where the…
The Whitham equation was proposed as a model for surface water waves that combines the quadratic flux nonlinearity $f(u) = \tfrac{1}{2}u^2$ of the Korteweg-de Vries equation and the full linear dispersion relation $\Omega(k) = \sqrt{k\tanh…
