Cauchy Problem for the Loaded Korteweg–de Vries Equation in the Class of Periodic Functions

Abstract

The inverse spectral problem method is applied to finding a solution of the Cauchyproblem for the loaded Korteweg–de Vries equation in the class of periodic infinite-gap functions.A simple algorithm for constructing a high-order Korteweg–de Vries equation with loaded termsand a derivation of an analog of Dubrovin’s system of differential equations are proposed. Itis shown that the sum of a uniformly convergent function series constructed by solving theDubrovin system of equations and the first trace formula actually satisfies the loaded nonlinearKorteweg–de Vries equation. In addition, we prove that if the initial function is a real π-periodicanalytic function, then the solution of the Cauchy problem is a real analytic function in thevariable x as well, and also that if the number π/n, n ∈ N, n ≥ 2, is the period of the initialfunction, then the number π/n is the period for solving the Cauchy problem with respect to thevariable x.
