Application of higher-order KdV——mKdV model with higher-degree nonlinear terms to gravity waves in atmosphere

Higher-order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV)-modified KdV (mKdV) equations with a higher-degree of nonlinear terms are derived from a simple incompressible non-hydrostatic Boussinesq equation set in atmosphere and are used to investigate gravity waves in atmosphere. By taking advantage of the auxiliary nonlinear ordinary differential equation, periodic wave and solitary wave solutions of the fifth-order KdV--mKdV models with higher-degree nonlinear terms are obtained under some constraint conditions. The analysis shows that the propagation and the periodic structures of gravity waves depend on the properties of the slope of line of constant phase and atmospheric stability. The Jacobi elliptic function wave and solitary wave solutions with slowly varying amplitude are transformed into triangular waves with the abruptly varying amplitude and breaking gravity waves under the effect of atmospheric instability.     

Improved Speed and Shape of Ion-Acoustic Waves in a Warm Plasma

The basic set of fluid equations can be reduced to the nonlinear Kortewege-de Vries (KdV) and nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations. The rational solutions for the two equations has been obtained. The exact amplitude of the nonlinear ion-acoustic solitary wave can be obtained directly without resorting to any successive approximation techniques by a direct analysis of the given field equations. The Sagdeev's potential is obtained in terms of ion acoustic velocity by simply solving an algebraic equation. The soliton and double layer solutions are obtained as a small amplitude approximation. A comparison between the exact soliton solution and that obtained from the reductive perturbation theory are also discussed.

Solutions to a Novel Casimir Equation for the Ito System

We discuss two classes of solutions to a novel Casimir equation associated with the Ito system, a coupled nonlinear wave equation. Both travelling wave
solutions and separable self-similar solutions are discussed. In a number of cases, explicit exact solutions are found. Such results, particularly the exact solutions, are useful in that they provide us a baseline of comparison to any numerical simulations.Besides, such solutions provide us a glimpse of the behavior of the Ito system,and hence the behavior of a type of nonlinear wave equation, for certain parameter regimes.     

Quasi-periodic solutions and asymptotic properties for the nonlocal Boussinesq equation

We construct the Hirota bilinear form of the nonlocal Boussinesq(nlBq) equation with four arbitrary constants for the first time. It is special because one arbitrary constant appears with a bilinear operator together in a product form. A straightforward method is presented to construct quasiperiodic wave solutions of the nl Bq equation in terms of Riemann theta functions. Due to the specific dispersion relation of the nl Bq equation, relations among the characteristic parameters are nonlinear, then the linear method does not work for them. We adopt the perturbation method to solve the nonlinear relations among parameters in the form of series. In fact, the coefficients of the governing equations are also in series form.The quasiperiodic wave solutions and soliton solutions are given. The relations between the periodic wave solutions and the soliton solutions have also been established and the asymptotic behaviors of the quasiperiodic waves are analyzed by a limiting procedure.     

Bifurcation and solitary waves of the nonlinear wave equation with quartic polynomial potential

For the nonlinear wave equation with quartic polynomial potential, bifurcation and solitary waves are investigated. Based on the bifurcation and the energy integral of the two-dimensional dynamical system satisfied by the travelling waves, it is very interesting to find different sufficient and necessary conditions in terms of the bifurcation parameter for the existence and coexistence of bright, dark solitary waves and shock waves. The method of direct integration is developed to give all types of solitary wave solutions. Our method is simpler than other newly developed ones. Some results are similar to those obtained recently for the combined KdV－mKdV equation.     

Interactions Between Solitons and Cnoidal Periodic Waves of the Boussinesq Equation

The Boussinesq equation is one of important prototypic models in nonlinear physics. Various nonlinear excitations of the Boussinesq equation have been found by many methods. However, it is very difficult to find interaction solutions among different types of nonlinear excitations. In this peper, two equivalent very simple methods, the truncated Painlevé analysis and the generalized tanh function expansion approaches, are developed to find interaction solutions between solitons and any other types of Boussinesq waves.     

Twenty Parameters Families of Solutions to the NLS Equation and the Eleventh Peregrine Breather

The Peregrine breather of order eleven(P_(11) breather) solution to the focusing one-dimensional nonlinear Schrdinger equation(NLS) is explicitly constructed here. Deformations of the Peregrine breather of order 11 with 20 real parameters solutions to the NLS equation are also given: when all parameters are equal to 0 we recover the famous P_(11) breather. We obtain new families of quasi-rational solutions to the NLS equation in terms of explicit quotients of polynomials of degree 132 in x and t by a product of an exponential depending on t. We study these solutions by giving patterns of their modulus in the(x; t) plane, in function of the different parameters.

Several Types of Similarity Solutions for the Hunter-Saxton Equation

We study separable and self-similar solutions to the HunterSaxton equation,a nonlinear wave equation which has been used to describe an instability in the director field of a nematic liquid crystal(among other applications).Essentially,we study solutions which arise from a nonlinear inhomogeneous ordinary differential equation which is obtained by an exact similarity transform for the HunterSaxton equation.For each type of solution,we are able to obtain some simple exact solutions in closed-form,and more complicated solutions through an analytical approach.We find that there is a whole family of self-similar solutions,each of which depends on an arbitrary parameter.This parameter essentially controls the manner of self-similarity and can be chosen so that the self-similar solutions agree with given initial data.The simpler solutions found constitute exact solutions to a nonlinear partial differential equation,and hence are also useful in a mathematical sense.Analytical solutions demonstrate the variety of behaviors possible within the wider family of similarity solutions.Both types of solutions cast light on self-similar phenomenon arising in the HunterSaxton equation.

Thus, some new exact travelling-wave solutions, which contain kink-shaped solitons, bell-shaped solitons, periodic solutions, combined formal solitons, rational solutions and singular solitons for these equations, are obtained.     

Stability of plane-wave solutions of a dissipative generalization of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

The modulational instability of perturbed plane-wave solutions of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is examined in the presence of three forms of dissipation. We present two families of decreasing-in-magnitude plane-wave solutions to this dissipative NLS equation. We establish that all such solutions that have no spatial dependence are linearly stable, though some perturbations may grow a finite amount. Further, we establish that all such solutions that have spatial dependence are linearly unstable if a certain form of dissipation is present.
