To obtain a weak solution of the Korteveg-de Vries equation, an auxiliary initial value problem is formulated and discretized using a finite difference scheme. The resulting method is shown to be conservative. Numerical examples with initial data ranging from smooth to piecewise continuous functions are presented.
