On classical solutions of the KdV equation.

\begin{abstract} We show that if the initial profile $q\left( x\right) $ for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is essentially semibounded from below and $\int^{\infty }x^{5/2}\left\vert q\left( x\right) \right\vert dx<\infty,$ (no decay at $-\infty$ is required) then the KdV has a unique global classical solution given by a determinant formula. This result is best known to date. \end{abstract}
