The purpose of this paper is to describe a relationship between the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equationut−6uux+uxxx=0and another nonlinear partial differential equation of the formzt+zxxx−3zxzxxz=H(t)z.The second equation will be called the Associated Equation (AE) and the connection between the two will be explained. By considering AE, explicit solutions to KdV will be obtained. These solutions include the solitary wave and the cnoidal wave solutions. In addition, similarity solutions in terms of Airy functions and Painlevé transcendents are found. The approach here is different from the Inverse Scattering Transform and the results are not in the form of solutions to specific initial value problems, but rather in terms of solutions containing arbitrary constants.

The Korteweg–de Vries equation (KdV) is a mathematical model of waves on shallow water surfaces. It is given as third-order nonlinear partial differential equation and plays a very important role in the theory of nonlinear waves. It was obtained by Boussinesq in 1877, and a detailed analysis was performed by Korteweg and de Vries in 1895. In this article, by using multi-linear estimates in Bourgain type spaces, we prove the local well-posedness of the initial value problem associated with the Korteweg–de Vries equations. The solution is established online for analytic initial data w0 that can be extended as holomorphic functions in a strip around the x-axis. A procedure for constructing a global solution is proposed, which improves upon earlier results.

In this paper, the inverse scattering transform is extended to a super Korteweg-de Vries equation with an arbitrary variable coefficient by using Kulish and Zeitlin?s approach. As a result, exact solutions of the super Korteweg-de Vries equation are obtained. In the case of reflectionless potentials, the obtained exact solutions are reduced to soliton solutions. More importantly, based on the obtained results, an approach to extending the scattering transform is proposed for the supersymmetric Korteweg-de Vries equation in the 1-D Grassmann algebra. It is shown the the approach can be applied to some other supersymmetric non-linear evolution equations in fluids.
