Abstract

In this paper, a nonisospectral and variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation is investigated based on the ideas of the variable-coefficient balancing-act method and Hirota method. Via symbolic computation, we obtain the analytic N-soliton solutions, variable-coefficient bilinear form, auto-Bäcklund transformations (in both the bilinear form and Lax pair form), Lax pair and nonlinear superposition formula for such an equation in explicit form. Moreover, some figures are plotted to analyze the effects of the variable coefficients on the stabilities and propagation characteristics of the solitonic waves.
