We develop the inverse scattering transform for the KdV equation with real singular initial data $q(x)$ of the form $q(x) = r'(x) + r(x)^2$, where $r\in L^2_{\textrm{loc}}$ and $r=0$ on $\mathbb R_+$. As a consequence we show that the…
We are concerned with the Cauchy problem for the KdV equation for nonsmooth locally integrable initial profiles q's which are, in a certain sense, essentially bounded from below and q(x)=O(e^{-cx^{{\epsilon}}}),x\rightarrow+\infty, with…
\begin{abstract} We show that if the initial profile $q\left( x\right) $ for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is essentially semibounded from below and $\int^{\infty }x^{5/2}\left\vert q\left( x\right) \right\vert dx<\infty,$ (no decay…
The dynamics of the poles of the two--soliton solutions of the modified Korteweg--de Vries equation $$ u_t + 6u^2u_x + u_{xxx} = 0 $$ are determined. A consequence of this study is the existence of classes of smooth, complex--valued…
We prove the nonsqueezing property of the coupled Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Relying on Gromov's nonsqueezing theorem for finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems, the argument is to approximate the solutions to the original infinite…
We propose the algebro-geometric mothod of construction of solutions of the discrete KP equation over a finite field. We also perform the corresponding reduction to the finite field version of the discrete KdV equation. We write down…
Solitary waves are localized gravity waves that preserve their consistency and henceforth their visibility through properties of nonlinear hydrodynamics. Solitary waves have finite amplitude and spread with constant speed and constant…
We introduce an efficient route to obtaining the discrete potential mKdV equation emerging from a particular discrete motion of discrete planar curves.
The original Miura transformation, considered as a nonlinear potential transformation, is applicable to a continual class of evolution equations, not only to discrete integrable equations and their hierarchies. The same continual class of…
In this article, we first investigate the kinematics of specific geodesic flows on two dimensional media with constant curvature, by explicitly solving the evolution (Raychaudhuri) equations for the expansion, shear and rotation along the…
We consider a surface diffusion flow of the form $V=\partial_s^2f(-\kappa)$ with a strictly increasing smooth function $f$ typically, $f(r)=e^r$, for a curve with arc-length parameter $s$, where $\kappa$ denotes the curvature and $V$…
We present a fundamental solution to an initial value problem for the KdV-Whitham system in an explicit integral form. Monotonically decreasing initial data with finite number of breaking points are considered. Generating function for the…
The Miura transformation plays a crucial role in the study of integrable systems. There have been various extensions of the Miura transformation, which have been used to relate different kinds of integrable equations and to classify the…
We prove that the solution-map $ u_0 \mapsto u $ associated with the KdV equation cannot be continuously extended in $ H^s(\R) $ for $ s<-1 $. The main ingredients are the well-known Kato smoothing effect for the mKdV equation as well as…
We study the Korteweg-de Vries-type equation dt u=-dx(dx^2 u+f(u)-B(t,x)u), where B is a small and bounded, slowly varying function and f is a nonlinearity. Many variable coefficient KdV-type equations can be rescaled into this equation. We…
The KdV hierarchy is a paradigmatic example of the rich mathematical structure underlying integrable systems and has far-reaching connections in several areas of theoretical physics. While the positive part of the KdV hierarchy is well…
We investigate geometric evolution equations for Legendrian curves in the 3-sphere which are invariant under the action of the unitary group ${\rm U}(2)$. We define a natural symplectic structure on the space of Legendrian loops and show…
The local motion of a null curve in Minkowski 3-space induces an evolution equation for its Lorentz invariant curvature. Special motions are constructed whose induced evolution equations are the members of the KdV hierarchy. The null curves…

The construction of negative grade KdV hierarchy is proposed in terms of a Miura-gauge transformation. Such gauge transformation is employed within the zero curvature representation and maps the Lax operator of the mKdV into its couterpart…
