Dispersionless equation
Encyclopedia
Dispersionless limits of integrable partial differential equations (PDE) arise in various problems of mathematics and physics and are intensively studied in the recent literature (see, f.i., [1]-[5]).

It arises from the commutation
of the following pair of 1-parameter families of vector fields

where
is a spectral parameter. The dKPE is the
-dispersionless limit of the celebrated Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation.

It is the dispersionless or quasiclassical limit of the Korteweg–de Vries equation
.

. The function
here is an auxiliary function defined via
up to a holomorphic summand. The function
is generally assumed to be a real-valued function.

Dispersionless Korteweg–de Vries equation
The dispersionless Korteweg–de Vries equation (dKdVE) reads as
It is the dispersionless or quasiclassical limit of the Korteweg–de Vries equation
Korteweg–de Vries equation
In mathematics, the Korteweg–de Vries equation is a mathematical model of waves on shallow water surfaces. It is particularly notable as the prototypical example of an exactly solvable model, that is, a non-linear partial differential equation whose solutions can be exactly and precisely specified...
