Degasperis-Procesi equation

Degasperis-Procesi equation is a real nonlinear partial differential equation which applies to water wave propagation and is solvable by the methods of soliton theory.

The DP equation

This is the partial differential equation

(1)
u_t-u_{xxt}-uu_{xxx}-3u_xu_{xx}+4uu_x=0 \,\,\,,\,\,\,u=u(x,t)\,\,,

where u is the independent variable, x is the space co-ordinate in the direction of propagation and tis the time variable. In this notation a subscripted variable indicates partial differentiation: u_x \equiv \partial u /\partial x\,\,,\,\,u_{xx}\equiv \partial^2 u /\partial x^2\,, etc.. Some, but not all, coefficients may be given values which are different from those appearing in (1), and even other terms may be added, by performing the Galilei transformation u(x,t)\rightarrow u'(x,t)=a+u(x-ct,t), aand cbeing arbitrary constants. However, the relative values of some coefficients cannot be changed as they are crucial to the special solvability properties of the DP equation (1). Indeed
