Abstract

The general KdV equation (gKdV) derived by T. Chou is one of the famous (1+1) dimensional soliton equations with variable coefficients. It is well-known that the gKdV equation is integrable. In this paper a higher-dimensional gKdV equation, which is integrable in the sense of the Painleve test, is presented. A transformation that links this equation to the canonical form of the Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schiff equation is found. Furthermore, the form and similar transformation for the higher-dimensional modified gKdV equation are also obtained.
