The lattice hydrodynamic model is not only a simplified version of the macroscopic hydrodynamic model, but also connected with the microscopic car following model closely. The modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) equation related to the density wave in a congested traffic region has been derived...

Considered the effect of traffic anticipation in the real world, a new anticipation driving car following model (AD-CF) was proposed by Zheng et al. Based on AD-CF model, adopted an asymptotic approximation between the headway and density, a new continuum model is presented in this paper. The...

Numerical simulations show that higher order KdV equation under certain conditions has a self-focusing singularity, which means that the solution of the equation blows up in finite time. In this paper, two numerical schemes: the split-step Fourier transform and the pseudospectral methods are...

The variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation that governs the dynamics of weakly nonlinear long waves in a periodically variable dispersion management media is considered. For general bit patterns, an analytic expression describing the evolution of the timing shift produced by nonlinear...

In this paper, a fractional Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV for short) with initial condition is introduced by replacing the first order time and space derivatives by fractional derivatives of order α and β with 0α,β≤1, respectively. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo...

It is shown that if the dispersion of the KdV equation is replaced by a higher order dispersion ∂xm, where m≥3 is an odd integer, then the critical Sobolev exponent for local well-posedness on the circle does not change. That is, the resulting equation is locally well-posed in Hs(T), s≥−1/2.

Solutions of a boundary value problem for the Korteweg–de Vries equation are approximated numerically using a finite-difference method, and a collocation method based on Chebyshev polynomials. The performance of the two methods is compared using exact solutions that are exponentially small at...

The constraint equation which must hold for the reciprocal of a known solution for the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation to be a solution itself is derived. These reciprocal solutions are required to satisfy a differential equation which is in fact a Painlevé equation. A differential...
