The linear KdV equation is a variant of the nonlinear KdV equation used to model shallow water waves.
Solitons, which are nonlinear waves that retain their identities in collisions, can still be observed in the solutions to the nonlinear KdV equation.
The solution to the linear KdV equation is expressed using the Airy function, representing solutions in the context of triple factorials and Bessel functions.
The linear KdV equation is a third-order linear PDE that arises in various applications.
