Abstract
We consider the Cauchy problem for the generalized fractional Korteweg-de Vries equation $$ u_t+D^αu_x + u^p u_x= 0, \quad 1<α\le 2, \quad p\in {\mathbb N}\setminus\{0\}, $$ with homogeneous initial data $Φ$. We show that, under smallness assumption on $Φ$, and for a wide range of $(α, p)$, including $p=3$, we can construct a self-similar solution of this problem.
