An alternate generalized Korteweg-de Vries system is
studied here. A procedure for generating solutions is given. A
theorem is presented, which is subsequently applied to this
equation to obtain a type of Bäcklund transformation for
several specific cases of the power of the derivative term
appearing in the equation. In the process, several interesting,
new, ordinary, differential equations are generated and studied.
