Is free-surface hydrodynamics an integrable system?
Abstract
A strong argument is found in support of the integrability of free-surface hydrodynamics in the one-dimensional case. It is shown that the first term in the perturbation series in powers of nonlinearity is identically equal to zero, the consequences of which are discussed as well.
