In this paper we consider the initial boundary value problem of the Korteweg-de Vries equation posed on a finite interval
$\begin{equation} u_t+u_x+u_{xxx}+uu_x = 0, ~~~~~ u(x, 0) = φ(x), ~~~~~ 0 < x < L, \ t>0~~~~~(0.1)\end{equation}$
subject to the nonhomogeneous boundary conditions,
$\begin{equation} B_1u = h_1(t), ~~~~~B_2 u = h_2 (t), ~~~~~ B_3 u = h_3 (t) ~~~~~t>0~~~~~(0.2) \end{equation} $
where
$ B_i u = \sum\limits_{j = 0}^2 \left(a_{ij} \partial ^j_x u(0, t) + b_{ij}\partial ^j_x u(L, t)\right), ~~~~~i = 1, 2, 3, $
and
$a_{ij}, \ b_{ij}$
 (
$j = 0, 1, 2$
 and
$ i = 1, 2, 3$
) are real constants. Under some general assumptions imposed on the coefficients
$a_{ij}, \ b_{ij}$
, the IBVP (0.1)-(0.2) is shown to be locally well-posed in the space
$H^s (0, L)$
 for any
$s \ge 0$
 with
$φ ∈ H^s (0, L)$
 and boundary values
$h_j$
,
$j = 1, 2, 3$
, belonging to some appropriate spaces with optimal regularity.
Keywords: KdV equation, well-posedness, non-homogeneous boundary value problem, boundary integral operators.
