It is revealed that there exist duality families of the KdV type equation. A duality family consists of an infinite number of generalized KdV (GKdV) equations. A duality transformation relates the GKdV equations in a duality family. Once a…
For a polygon in Euclidean space we consider a transformation T which is obtained by applying the midpoints polygon construction twice and using an index shift. For a closed polygon this is a curve shortening process. A polygon is called…

We study the dynamics of solitons as solutions to the perturbed KdV (pKdV) equation $\partial_t u = -\partial_x (\partial_x^2 u + 3u^2-bu)$, where $b(x,t) = b_0(hx,ht)$, $h\ll 1$ is a slowly varying, but not small, potential. We option an…
Under the effect of common perturbations, the multiple-soliton solution of the KdV equation is transformed into a sum of an elastic and a first-order inelastic component. The elastic component is a perturbation series, identical in…
