Abstract
Variational principles are very important for a lot of nonlinear problems to be analyzed theoretically or solved numerically. By the popular semi-inverse method and designing trial-Lagrange functionals skillfully, new variational principles are constructed successfully for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation and the Coupled KdV equations, respectively, which can model a lot of nonlinear waves in shallow water. The established variational principles are also proved correct. The procedure reveals that the used technologies are very powerful and applicable, and can be extended to other nonlinear physical and mathematical models.
