Existence of periodic traveling wave solution to the forced generalized nearly concentric Korteweg-de Vries equation

This paper is concerned with periodic traveling wave solutions of the forced generalized nearly concentric Korteweg-de Vries equation in the form of (uη+u/(2η)+[f(u)]ξ+uξξξ)ξ+uθθ/η2=h0. The authors first convert this equation into a forced generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, (ut+[f(u)]x+ux...

description This paper is concerned with periodic traveling wave solutions of the forced generalized nearly concentric Korteweg-de Vries equation in the form of (uη+u/(2η)+[f(u)]ξ+uξξξ)ξ+uθθ/η2=h0. The authors first convert this equation into a forced generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, (ut+[f(u)]x+uxxx)x+uyy=h0, and then to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation with periodic boundary conditions. An equivalent relationship between the ordinary differential equation and nonlinear integral equations with symmetric kernels is established by using the Green's function method. The integral representations generate compact operators in a Banach space of real-valued continuous functions. The Schauder's fixed point theorem is then used to prove the existence of nonconstant solutions to the integral equations. Therefore, the existence of periodic traveling wave solutions to the forced generalized KP equation, and hence the nearly concentric KdV equation, is proved.
