On Negative Order KdV Equations

Abstract

In this paper, based on the regular KdV system, we study negative order KdV (NKdV) equations about their Hamiltonian structures, Lax pairs, infinitely many conservation laws, and explicit multi-soliton and multi-kink wave solutions thorough bilinear B\"{a}cklund transformations. The NKdV equations studied in our paper are differential and actually derived from the first member in the negative order KdV hierarchy. The NKdV equations are not only gauge-equivalent to the Camassa-Holm equation through some hodograph transformations, but also closely related to the Ermakov-Pinney systems, and the Kupershmidt deformation. The bi-Hamiltonian structures and a Darboux transformation of the NKdV equations are constructed with the aid of trace identity and their Lax pairs, respectively. The single and double kink wave and bell soliton solutions are given in an explicit formula through the Darboux transformation. The 1-kink wave solution is expressed in the form of $tanh$ while the 1-bell soliton is in the form of $sech$, and both forms are very standard. The collisions of 2-kink-wave and 2-bell-soliton solutions, are analyzed in details, and this singular interaction is a big difference from the regular KdV equation. Multi-dimensional binary Bell polynomials are employed to find bilinear formulation and B\"{a}cklund transformations, which produce $N$-soliton solutions. A direct and unifying scheme is proposed for explicitly building up quasi-periodic wave solutions of the NKdV equations. Furthermore, the relations between quasi-periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions are clearly described. Finally, we show the quasi-periodic wave solution convergent to the soliton solution under some limit conditions.
