Doubt on Lax formulation of Korteweg–de Vries equation

The Korteweg–de Vries equation is given by: $$\frac{\partial u(x,t)}{\partial t}-6u\frac{\partial u(x,t)}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial^3 u(x,t)}{\partial x^3}=0$$ This equation can be formulated using ...

KdV equation and classical linear wave equation

Like we know, the standard form of KdV equation is $$u_{t}-6uu_{x}+u_{xxx}=0,\tag{1}$$ where this equation describes a solitary wave propagation and $u=u(x,t)$. On the other hand, we know the ...
