Kundu (drum)
Kundu is a pidgin name in Papua New Guinea for an hourglass drum used to accompany formal occasions, religious ceremonies and for celebrations (such as the Sing-sing). This drum is emblematic of Papua New Guinea and it appears on the country's coat of arms. Characteristics The sizes of a kundu drum vary. A small finger-drum might measure 30 cm (11.81 in), while a large drum might be 200 cm (74.84 in) long. The drum is made of carved wood with a possum or lizard-skin drumhead, with some instruments possessing a handle placed on the narrowest part of the drum. Not all kundus have handles, depending on the instruments' style. Traditionally, the lizard skin was held in place with a layer of human blood (as glue). Depending upon who made it and where it was made, a kundu may be carved plainly, or decorated with "high-relief" carved handles, or relief carvings on the instruments' bodies with open mouthed crocodiles, human faces, dancers, and "spirit figures." Often, the kundu is deco ...

Kundu (surname)
Kundu is a surname. The surname is mainly found among the Bengali Hindus and some other communities of India. History The surname Kundu is primarily found in Bengal among Teli (oil pressing caste), Tili and Bengali Kayasthas. Historian Tej Ram Sharma mentions that the surname is "now confined to Kayasthas of Bengal" while referring to the names of Brahmins ending in such Kayastha surnames in the early inscriptions dating back to the Gupta period. According to GK Ghosh, the surname Kundu or Kunda might have been derived from the bowl of Ghani or Ghana, known as Kundu or Kunda. Some of the surnames among Telis were originated from the raw materials or implements they use. Kundu is also a Sikh surname based on a Jat clan.

Kundu Equation
The Kundu equation is a general form of integrable system that is gauge-equivalent to the mixed nonlinear Schrödinger equation. It was proposed by Anjan Kundu as with arbitrary function \theta (t,x) and the subscripts denoting partial derivatives. Equation (1) is shown to be reducible for the choice of \theta_ = -\kappa , q, ^2 to an integrable class of mixed nonlinear Schrödinger equation with cubic–quintic nonlinearity, given in a representative form Here \alpha, c, \kappa are independent parameters, while \gamma = \kappa(4 \kappa + \alpha) . Equation , more specifically equation is known as the Kundu equation. Properties and applications The Kundu equation is a completely integrable system, allowing Lax pair representation, exact solutions, and higher conserved quantity. Along with its different particular cases, this equation has been investigated for finding its exact travelling wave solutions, exact solitary wave solutions via bilinearization, and Darboux ...
