An electrical model for the Korteweg–de Vries equation

Abstract: In this paper we describe an electrical network, whose current evolution does agree with a Korteweg–de Vries equation. Our aim is to prepare pupils to understand the analytical aspects of nonlinear and dispersive phenomena, which very often are neglected in high-school and graduate textbooks. Some historical remarks introduce the topic and a bibliography is provided.

“…Considering two transmission lines that intersect in a given cell ( , ), called cross cell, as in Figure 4, the state of each cell, except for cross cell ( , ), is governed by (4). Not only does the neighborhood of cross cell ( , ) consist of the two cells at its left and right, respectively but also it is made up of its upper and lower cells.…”

“…The dynamical properties of amplitude dependent inertial masses for strongly non-separable modes in a nonlinear vibrational lattice have not yet been treated; however, nonlinear lumped element electrical transmission line studies have a long history [17][18][19] and there is a well known translation between inertial mass and electrical inductance for such linear transmission lines 20 . As long as electrical pulses extend over many nonlinear elements of an electrical transmission line so that continuum equations, such as the Korteweg-de Vries, could be applied it has been possible to make contact with soliton behavior [21][22][23][24][25] . In more recent times interest has shifted from understanding soliton behavior to the production of high frequency radiation using electromagnetic shock waves produced by hysteresis in nonlinear electric lines [26][27][28] .…”
