The authors study semi-discrete finite difference schemes of the form \[ V_{jt}+ \textstyle{{1\over 2}} \Delta_0V^2_j+ \Delta_0\Delta_+\Delta_- V_j+ Q_j= 0\;\text{for all }j,\;t>0, \] \[ V_{j+ J}(t)= V_j(t)\;\text{for all }j,\;t>0, \] \[ V_j(0)= u_0(x_j= jh),\quad j= 0,\pm 1,\dots,\;h= 1/J \] approximating the periodic initial-boundary value problem for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation \[ u_t+ uu_x+ u_{xxx}= 0,\quad -\infty< x< +\infty,\;t>0, \] \[ u(x+ 1,t)= u(x,t),\quad -\infty< x<+\infty,\;t>0, \] \[ u(x, 0)= u_0(x),\quad -\infty< x<+\infty, \] where the values \(V_j\) of the grid function \(V_h\) approximate the solution \(u\) of the KdV equation at \(x_j\), and \(\Delta_0\), \(\Delta_+\), \(\Delta_-\) denote the central, the forward and the backward finite difference quotients, respectively. The crucial point consists in the choice of \(Q_j\). The authors propose one- and two-parametric terms \(Q_j= Q_j(V_j, \beta)\) and \(Q_j= Q_j(V_j,\alpha, \beta)\), respectively, and show a priori estimates, discrete conservation results, convergence and stability.
