Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation
10.3.1. Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation
Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation in canonical form (Kadomtsev and Petviashvili, 1970). It arises in the theory of long, weakly nonlinear surface waves propagating in the x-direction, with the variation in y being sufficiently slow.
