On the nonexistence of global solutions of some initial-boundary value problems for the Korteweg-de Vries equation (Q647677)

The author investigates the blow-up problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation \[ u_t+uu_{x}+u_{xxx}=0,\quad (t,x)\in (0,T)\times (0,L), \] subject to the initial condition \[ u(0,x)=u_0(x),\quad x\in (0,L). \] and the general boundary condition \[ B(u,\varphi)|_{x=L}-B(u,\varphi)|_{x=0}=0. \] Here the boundary operator is given by \[ B(u,\varphi):=u_{xx}\varphi-u_{x}\varphi_{x}+u\varphi_{xx}+\frac{1}{2}u^2\varphi. \] Using the method of optimal test functions [\textit{E.
