Abstract
We consider a slowly decaying oscillatory potential such that the corresponding 1D Schrödinger operator has a positive eigenvalue embedded into the absolutely continuous spectrum. This potential does not fall into a known class of initial data for which the Cauchy problem for the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation can be solved by the inverse scattering transform. We nevertheless show that the KdV equation with our potential does admit a closed form classical solution in terms of Hankel operators. Comparing with rapidly decaying initial data our solution gains a new term responsible for the positive eigenvalue. To some extent this term resembles a positon (singular) solution but remains bounded. Our approach is based upon certain limiting arguments and techniques of Hankel operators.
