Benjamin–Ono equation

In mathematics, the Benjamin–Ono equation is a nonlinear partial integro-differential equation that describes one-dimensional internal waves in deep water. It was introduced by Benjamin (1967) and Ono (1975).

The Benjamin–Ono equation is

$u_t+uu_x+Hu_{xx}=0$

where H is the Hilbert transform.
