Lax pair, auto-Bäcklund transformation and conservation law for a generalized variable-coefficient KdV equation with external-force term

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A generalized variable-coefficient KdV equation with perturbed and external-force terms is investigated in this Letter. Lax pair, Riccati-type auto-Bäcklund transformation and Wahlquist-Estabrook-type auto-Bäcklund transformation (WE-BT) are constructed. Based on the WE-BT, the nonlinear superposition formula is obtained and an infinite number of conservation laws are derived recursively, then the analytic solutions are provided including periodic, one-soliton-like and two-soliton-like solutions with inhomogeneous coefficients, external-force term and eigenvalue.
