Fring, A. (2007). PT-symmetric deformations of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 40(15), pp. 4215-4224. doi: 10.1088/1751-8113/40/15/012

Abstract

We propose a new family of complex PT-symmetric extensions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The deformed equations can be associated to a sequence of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. The first charges related to the conservation of mass, momentum and energy are constructed. We investigate solitary wave solutions of the equation of motion for various boundary conditions.
