We have found new hierarchies of Korteweg–de Vries and Boussinesq equations which have multiple soliton solutions. In contrast to the stan­dard hierarchy of K. de V. equations found by Lax, these equations do not appear to fit the present inverse formalism or possess the various pro­perties associated with it such as Bäcklund transformations. The most interesting of the new K. de V. equations is ( u nx ≡ ∂ n u /∂ x n ) ( u 4 x + 30 uu 2 x + 60 u 3 ) x + u t = 0. We have proved that this equation has N -soliton solutions but we have been able to find only two soliton solutions for the rest of this hierarchy. The above equation has higher conservation laws of rank 3, 4, 6 and 7 but none of rank 2, 5 and 8 and hence it would seem that an unusual series of conservation laws exists with every third one missing. Apart from the Boussinesq equation itself, which has N -soliton solutions, ( u xx + 6 u 2 ) xx + u xx – u tt = 0 we have found only two-soliton solutions to the rest of this second class. The new equations have bounded oscillating solutions which do not occur for the K. de V. equation itself.

In this paper, a nonisospectral and variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation is investigated based on the ideas of the variable-coefficient balancing-act method and Hirota method. Via symbolic computation, we obtain the analytic N-soliton solutions, variable-coefficient bilinear form, auto-Bäcklund transformations (in both the bilinear form and Lax pair form), Lax pair and nonlinear superposition formula for such an equation in explicit form. Moreover, some figures are plotted to analyze the effects of the variable coefficients on the stabilities and propagation characteristics of the solitonic waves.

AbstractThe Korteweg–de Vries (KdV)-type equations can describe the shallow water waves, stratified internal waves, ion-acoustic waves, plasma physics and lattice dynamics, while the (2+1)-dimensional Nizhnik–Novikov–Vesselov equations are the isotropic extensions of KdV-type equations. In this paper, we investigate the (2+1)-dimensional modified Nizhnik–Novikov–Vesselov equations. By virtue of the binary Bell polynomials, bilinear forms, multi-soliton solutions and Bäcklund transformations are derived. Effects of some parameters on the solitons and monotonic function are graphically illustrated. We can observe the coalescence of the two solitons in their collision region, where their shapes change after the collision.

A study of solutions of the Gel'fand–Levitan equation permits one to establish new Bäcklund transformations for the Korteweg–de Vries equation. To a specific change in the scattering parameters, there corresponds a family of Bäcklund transformations. A means to construct these transformations is presented.

AbstractIn this paper, the integrability of the (2+1)-dimensional cylindrical modified Korteweg-de Vries equation and the (3+1)-dimensional cylindrical Korteweg-de Vries equation with variable coefficients arising in dusty plasmas in its generalised form was studied by two different techniques: the Painlevé test and the consistent Riccati expansion solvability. The integrability conditions and Bäcklund transformations are constructed. By using Bäcklund transformations and the solutions of the Riccati equation many new exact solutions are found for the two equations in this study. Finally, the application of the obtained solutions in dusty plasmas is investigated.

An alternate generalized Korteweg-de Vries system is studied here. A procedure for generating solutions is given. A theorem is presented, which is subsequently applied to this equation to obtain a type of Bäcklund transformation for several specific cases of the power of the derivative term appearing in the equation. In the process, several interesting, new, ordinary, differential equations are generated and studied.
