Suppose q(x,t) satisfies the mKdV equation
qt+qxxx+6q2qx=0
where qt=∂q/∂t etc.
(a) Find the 1-soliton solution.
[You may use, without proof, the indefinite integral ∫x1−x2dx=−arcsechx.]
(b) Express the self-similar solution of the KKdV equation in terms of a solution, denoted by v(z), of the Painlevé II equation.
(c) Using the Ansatz
dzdv+iv2−6iz=0
find a particular solution of the mKdV equation in terms of a solution of the Airy equation
dz2d2Ψ+6zΨ=0
