J. Korteweg, defended his thesis on what is now  known as the Korteweg-de Vries Equation. They published a joint  paper in 1895 in the \u003cem\u003ePhilosophical Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, entitled `On the  change of form of long waves advancing in a rectangular canal, and on  a new type of long stationary wave', and, for the next 60 years or so,  no other relevant work seemed to have been done. In the 1960s,  however, research on this and related equations exploded. There are  now some 3100 papers in mathematics and physics that contain a mention  of the phrase `Korteweg-de Vries equation' in their title or  abstract, and there are thousands more in other areas, such as  biology, chemistry, electronics, geology, oceanology, meteorology,  etc. And, of course, the KdV equation is only one of what are now  called (Liouville) completely integrable systems. The KdV and its  relatives continually turn up in situations when one wishes to  incorporate nonlinear and dispersive effects into wave-type phenomena.  \u003cbr\u003e  This centenary provides a unique occasion to survey as many different  aspects of the KdV and related equations. The KdV equation has depth,  subtlety, and a breadth of applications that make it a rarity  deserving special attention and exposition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401040112\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0017-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 516\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340840530060,"sku":"9789401040112","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401040112.jpg?v=1775793402","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401040112","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
