Surfaces of revolution associated with the kink-type solutions of the SIdV equation

Abstract In this paper, we study the evolution scenarios of surfaces of revolution associated with the kink-type solutions of an integrable equation, which is called the SIdV equation because of its scale-invariant property and relationship with the Korteweg-de Vries equation, where the kink-type solutions play the role of a metric. We put forward two kinds of evolution scenarios for surfaces of revolution associated with two types of kink-type metric (solution) and we study the key properties of these surfaces.
