TLDR
In this paper, an implicit cusp solitary-wave solution is constructed via a simple direct method, and the existing connections between the Harry Dym and the Korteweg-de Vries equations are uniformised and simplified, and transformations between their respective solutions are carried out explicitly.
Abstract
The Harry Dym equation, which is related to the classical string problem, is derived in three different ways. An implicit cusp solitary-wave solution is constructed via a simple direct method. The existing connections between the Harry Dym and the Korteweg-de Vries equations are uniformised and simplified, and transformations between their respective solutions are carried out explicitly. Whenever possible, physical insights are provided.

Solitary wave solutions of nonlinear evolution and wave equations using a direct method and MACSYMA

Willy Hereman, +1 more
- 07 Nov 1990 - 
TL;DR: The direct algebraic method for constructing travelling wave solutions on nonlinear evolution and wave equations has been generalized and systematized in this paper, where the class of solitary wave solutions is extended to analytic functions of the real exponential solutions of the linearized equation Expanding the solutions in an infinite series in these real exponentials, an exact solution of the nonlinear PDE is obtained, whenever the series can be summed.

A Simple model of the integrable Hamiltonian equation

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of analysis of the infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian equations which avoids the introduction of the Backlund transformation or the use of the Lax equation is suggested, based on the possibility of connecting in several ways the conservation laws of special Hamiltonian equation with their symmetries by using symplectic operators.
