On integrability of one third-order nonlinear evolution equation

We study one third-order nonlinear evolution equation, recently introduced by Chou and Qu in a problem of plane curve motions, and find its transformation to the modified Korteweg - de Vries equation, its zero-curvature representation with an essential parameter, and its second-order recursion operator.Comment: 10 page

Coupled KdV equations of Hirota-Satsuma type

It is shown that the system of two coupled Korteweg-de Vries equations passes the Painlev\'e test for integrability in nine distinct cases of its coefficients. The integrability of eight cases is verified by direct construction of Lax pairs, whereas for one case it remains unknown
