Dispersive partial differential equation
In mathematics, a dispersive partial differential equation or dispersive PDE is a partial differential equation that is dispersive. In this context, dispersion means that waves of different wavelength propagate at different phase velocities.
Examples

- Schrödinger equation
- Klein-Gordon equation
Nonlinear equations
- nonlinear Schrödinger equation
- Korteweg–de Vries equation or KdV equation
- Boussinesq equation (water waves)
- sine-Gordon equation
