Twenty five years ago U. Pinkall discovered that the Korteweg-de Vries equation can be realized as an evolution of curves in centoraffine geometry. Since then, a number of authors interpreted various properties of KdV and its…

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…
We consider the extended Korteweg-de Vries (eKdV) equation as a model for long moderately nonlinear surface water waves. In the slow time formulation this equation generates fast propagating resonant radiation due to the non-convexity of…

The evolution of a solitary wave with very weak nonlinearity which was originally investigated by Miles [4] is revisited. The solution for a one-dimensional gravity wave in a water of uniform depth is considered. This leads to finding the…
We construct a one-parameter family of N=3 supersymmetric extensions of the KdV equation as a Hamiltonian flow on N=3 superconformal algebra and argue that it is non-integrable for any choice of the parameter. Then we propose a modified N=3…
The construction of Integrable Hierarchies in terms of zero curvature representation provides a systematic construction for a series of integrable non-linear evolution equations (flows) which shares a common affine Lie algebraic structure.…

A proper bilinear form is proposed for the N=1 supersymmetric modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. The bilinear B\"{a}cklund transformation of this system is constructed. As applications, some solutions are presented for it.

We study the structure of singularities in the discrete Korteweg-deVries (d-KdV) equation. Four different types of singularities are identified. The first type corresponds to localised, `confined', singularities, the confinement constraints…
We characterize a general traveling periodic wave of the defocusing mKdV (modified Korteweg--de Vries) equation by using a quotient of products of Jacobi's elliptic theta functions. Compared to the standing periodic wave of the defocusing…

This paper develops the numerical inverse scattering transform (NIST) framework for the coupled modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation based on its associated Riemann-Hilbert problem. The coupled system gives rise to a $3\times3$…
In this note we present explicitly the construction of the mKdV hierarchy and show that it decomposes into positive and negative graded sub-hierarchies. We extend the construction of the Backlund transformation for the sinh-Gordon model to…
