Benjamin–Ono equation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the Benjamin-Ono equation is a nonlinear partial integro-differential equation that describes one-dimensional internal waves in deep water. It was introduced by Benjamin (1967) and Ono (1975).

The Benjamin-Ono equation is

ut + uux + Huxx = 0

where H is the Hilbert transform.
