Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntegrability and Prolongation Structure of a Generalized Korteweg-de Vries EquationPaul BrackenA closed differential ideal is constructed for a generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation. The ideal can be used to establish integrability for the equation. Some prolongation structures are determined for the equation and some larger prolongation algebras for given instances of the equation are found. The significance of this is that Backlund transformations can be developed based on them. It is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,411 accessesView PDFCite
