What KdV Teaches us About Waves
Abstract: In this course, we will use the Korteweg-de Vries equation as a model to understand the behavior of dispersive partial differential equations. Through this lens, we will discuss dispersion, well-posedness, and solitons. We will also discuss the existence of a Lax pair for this equation and how this informs our understanding of the complete integrability of this model.
