The
Benjamin-Ono equation is a nonlinear partial
integro-differential equation. It was introduced by Benjamin (1967) and Ono (1975) as an equation describing one-dimensional
internal waves in deep water.
The Benjamin-Ono equation has a form
where
is the
Hilbert transform.
It is a
soliton equation and can be solved by an
inverse scattering transform.
