Solutions of the KPI equation with smooth initial data

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The solution u(t,x,y) of the Kadomtsev--Petviashvili I (KPI) equation with given initial data u(0,x,y) belonging to the Schwartz space is considered. No additional special constraints, usually considered in literature, as int!dx,u(0,x,y)=0 are required to be satisfied by the initial data. The problem is completely solved in the framework of the spectral transform theory and it is shown that u(t,x,y) satisfies a special evolution version of the KPI equation and that, in general, partialtu(t,x,y) has different left and right limits at the initial time t=0. The conditions of the type int!dx,u(t,x,y)=0, int!dx,xuy(t,x,y)=0 and so on (first, second, etc. `constraints') are dynamically generated by the evolution equation for tot=0. On the other side int!dx!!int!dy,u(t,x,y) with prescribed order of integrations is not necessarily equal to zero and gives a nontrivial integral of motion.
