Abstract
In the preceeding two chapters we examined the family of the KdV and the KdV-type of equations, where the first order partial derivative u t was involved in all these equations [1]. In this chapter, we will study the nonlinear evolution equations where each contains the second order partial derivative u tt in addition to other partial derivatives. This family of nonlinear equations gained its importance because it appears in many scientific applications and physical phenomena.
