Variational Principle for the Generalized KdV-Burgers Equation with Fractal Derivatives for Shallow Water Waves

Abstract

The unsmooth boundary will greatly affect motion morphology of a shallow water wave, and a fractal space is introduced to establish a generalized KdV-Burgers equation with fractal derivatives. The semi-inverse method is used to establish a fractal variational formulation of the problem, which provides conservation laws in an energy form in the fractal space and possible solution structures of the equation.
