Weighted identities for solutions of generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations (Q650437)

The paper addresses the problem of existence of regular solutions of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations \(u_t+u_{xxx}+f(u)_x=0\). The author establishes several identities involving a solution of a generalized KdV equation and then, using these identities, proves several results about non-existence of regular solutions in a rectangular domain \(0\leq x\leq L\), \(0\leq t\leq T\) satisfying the initial condition \(u(x,0)=u_0(x)\) and certain boundary values at \(x=0\) and \(x=L\) provided the initial and boundary values satisfy certain inequalities and \(T\) is large enough.
