Abstract
In 2025, it will be 130 years since the publication of the article by D. Korteweg and G. de Vries, which explored the famous nonlinear partial differential equation describing waves on water under the assumption that the water depth is much less than the wavelength but much greater than the amplitude, now known by the names of these authors (although it was recorded in another form earlier by J. Boussinesq).
