An alternative way for the derivation of the new KdV-type equation is presented. The equation contains terms depending on the bottom topography (there are six new terms in all, three of which are caused by the unevenness of the bottom). It is obtained in the second order perturbative approach in the weakly nonlinear, dispersive and long wavelength limit. Only treating all these terms in the second order perturbation theory made the derivation of this KdV-type equation possible. The motion of a wave, which starts as a KdV soliton, is studied according to the new equation in several cases by numerical simulations. The quantitative changes of a soliton's velocity and amplitude appear to be directly related to bottom variations. Changes of the soliton's velocity appear to be almost linearly anticorrelated with changes of water depth whereas correlation of variation of soliton's amplitude with changes of water depth looks less linear. When the bottom is flat, the new terms narrow down the family of exact solutions, but at least one single soliton survives. This is also checked by numerics.

In the paper a new nonlinear equation describing shallow water waves with the topography of the bottom directly taken into account is derived. This equation is valid in the weakly nonlinear, dispersive and long wavelength limit. Some examples of soliton motion for various bottom shapes obtained in numerical simulations according to the derived equation are presented.

It is well known that the KdV equation has an infinite set of conserved quantities. The first three are often considered to represent mass, momentum and energy. Here we try to answer the question of how this comes about, and also how these KdV quantities relate to those of the Euler shallow water equations. Here Luke's Lagrangian is helpful. We also consider higher order extensions of KdV. Though in general not integrable, in some sense they are almost so, these with the accuracy of the expansion.

In this paper stochastic Volterra equations admitting exponentially bounded resolvents are studied. After obtaining convergence of resolvents, some properties for stochastic convolutions are studied. Our main result provide sufficient conditions for strong solutions to stochastic Volterra equations.Comment: 16 pages. The existence of strong solutions under some general assumptions is proved. Some proofs changed and precise
