Abstract

The equation that is now known as the Korteweg—de Vries equation first appeared in the doctoral dissertation of D. J. Korteweg’s student Gustav de Vries, which was defended on 1 December 1894 at the Amsterdam University [1]. That the centenary of the equation is nevertheless celebrated in 1995, instead of in 1994, has a good reason: the work of Korteweg and de Vries became internationally known through a joint paper they published in May 1895 [2].
