An iterative splitting approach for linear integro-differential equations

The motivation for this paper is to solve a model based on the dynamics of electrons in a plasma using a simplified Boltzmann equation. Such problems have arisen in active plasma resonance spectroscopy, which is used for plasma diagnostic techniques; see Braithwaite and Franklin (2009) [1]. We propose a modified iterative splitting approach to solve the Boltzmann equations as a system of integro-differential equations. To enable solution by fast and iterative computations, we first transform the integro-differential equations into second order differential equations. Second, we split each second order differential equations into two first order differential equations via a splitting approach. We carry out an error analysis of the higher order iterative approach. Numerical experiments with a simplified Boltzmann equation will be discussed, along with the benefits of computing with this splitting approach.

Explicit Complex-Valued Solutions of the Korteweg–de Vries Equation on the Half-Line and on the Whole-Line

The paper deals with the initial-value problems for the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations on the half-line and on the whole-line for complex-valued measurable and exponentially decreasing potentials. The time evolution equation for the reflection coefficient is derived and then a one-to-one correspondence between the scattering data and the solution of the KdV equation is shown. Families of exact solutions of the KdV equation are represented for the class of reflection-free potentials, in which the inverse scattering problem associated with the KdV equation can be solved exactly. Some helpful examples of soliton solutions of the KdV equation are provided.     

An efficient method for analyzing the solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation

A new iterative method is applied to study the solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. The method is a modified form of the well known Adomian decomposition method (ADM), where it avoids the difficulty of computing the Adomian polynomials. We prove the existence of a unique solution of the KdV equation. And then, we show that the new method generates an infinite series which converges uniformly to the exact solution of the problem. Soliton solutions of the KdV equation are obtained by the new method. Numerical calculations indicate the effectiveness of the new method where the obtained results are very accurate and better than the ones obtained by the ADM.     

Nonautonomous first integrals and general solutions of the KdV‐Burgers and mKdV‐Burgers equations with the source

The method for constructing first integrals and general solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is presented. The method is based on index accounting of the Fuchs indices, which appeared during the Painlevé test of a nonlinear differential equation. The Fuchs indices indicate us the leading members of the first integrals for the origin differential equation. Taking into account the values of the Fuchs indices, we can construct the auxiliary equation, which allows to look for the first integrals of nonlinear differential equations. The method is used to obtain the first integrals and general solutions of the KdV‐Burgers and the mKdV‐Burgers equations with a source. The nonautonomous first integrals in the polynomials form are found. The general solutions of these nonlinear differential equations under at some additional conditions on the parameters of differential equations are also obtained. Illustrations of some solutions of the KdV‐Burgers and the mKdV‐Burgers are given.     

N-soliton solutions for the integrable bidirectional sixth-order Sawada-Kotera equation

In this work, the integrable bidirectional sixth-order Sawada-Kotera equation is examined. The equation considered is a KdV6 equation that was derived from the fifth order Sawada-Kotera equation. Multiple soliton solutions and multiple singular soliton solutions are formally derived for this equation. The Cole-Hopf transformation method combined with the Hirota’s bilinear method are used to determine the two sets of solutions, where each set has a distinct structure.     

Nonlocal Symmetries of the Camassa-Holm Type Equations

A class of nonlocal symmetries of the Camassa-Holm type equations with bi-Hamiltonian structures, including the Camassa-Holm equation, the modified Camassa-Holm equation, Novikov equation and Degasperis-Procesi equation, is studied. The nonlocal symmetries are derived by looking for the kernels of the recursion operators and their inverse operators of these equations. To find the kernels of the recursion operators, the authors adapt the known factorization results for the recursion operators of the KdV, modified KdV, Sawada-Kotera and Kaup-Kupershmidt hierarchies, and the explicit Liouville correspondences between the KdV and Camassa-Holm hierarchies, the modified KdV and modified Camassa-Holm hierarchies, the Novikov and Sawada-Kotera hierarchies, as well as the Degasperis-Procesi and Kaup-Kupershmidt hierarchies.     

Homoclinic Orbits for a Perturbed Lattice Modified KdV Equation

We establish the splitting of homoclinic orbits for a near-integrable lattice modified KdV (mKdV) equation with periodic boundary conditions. We use the Bäcklund transformation to construct homoclinic orbits of the lattice mKdV equation. We build the Melnikov function with the gradient of the invariant defined through the discrete Floquet discriminant evaluated at critical points. The criteria for the persistence of homoclinic solutions of the perturbed lattice mKdV equation are established.     

Numerical solution for the KdV equation based on similarity reductions

The present paper is devoted to the development of a new scheme to solve the KdV equation locally on sub-domains using similarity reductions for partial differential equations. Each sub-domain is divided into three-grid points. The ordinary differential equation deduced from the similarity reduction can be linearized, integrated analytically and then used to approximate the flux vector in the KdV equation. The arbitrary constants in the analytical solution of the similarity equation can be determined in terms of the dependent variables at the grid points in each sub-domain. This approach eliminates the difficulties associated with boundary conditions for the similarity reductions over the whole solution domain. Numerical results are obtained for two test problems to show the behavior of the solution of the problems. The computed results are compared with other numerical results.     

A study on KdV and Gardner equations with time-dependent coefficients and forcing terms

In this work we study the KdV equation and the Gardner equation with time-dependent coefficients and forcing term for each equation.

Iterative operator‐splitting methods for nonlinear differential equations and applications

In this article, we consider iterative operator‐splitting methods for nonlinear differential equations with bounded and unbounded operators. The main feature of the proposed idea is the embedding of Newton's method for solving the split parts of the nonlinear equation at each step. The convergence properties of such a mixed method are studied and demonstrated. We confirm with numerical applications the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in comparison with the standard operator‐splitting methods by providing improved results and convergence rates. We apply our results to deposition processes. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 27: 1026–1054, 2011

Multi-Symplectic Fourier Pseudospectral Method for a Higher Order Wave Equation of KdV Type

The higher order wave equation of KdV type, which describes many important physical phenomena, has been investigated widely in last several decades. In this work, multi-symplectic formulations for the higher order wave equation of KdV type are presented, and the local conservation laws are shown to correspond to certain well-known Hamiltonian functionals. The multi-symplectic discretization of each formulation is calculated by the multi-symplectic Fourier pseudospectral scheme. Numerical experiments are carried out, which verify the efficiency of the Fourier pseudospectral method.     

A note on Hermitian splitting induced relaxation methods for convection-diffusion equations

The solution of the linear system Ax = b by iterative methods requires a splitting of the coefficient matrix in the form A = M − N where M is usually chosen to be a diagonal or a triangular matrix. In this article we study relaxation methods induced by the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splittings for the solution of the linear system arising from a compact fourth order approximation to the one dimensional convection-diffusion equation and compare the convergence rates of these relaxation methods to that of the widely used successive overrelaxation (SOR) method. Optimal convergence parameters are derived for each method and numerical experiments are given to supplement the theoretical estimates. For certain values of the diffusion parameter, a relaxation method based on the Hermitian splitting converges faster than SOR. For two-dimensional problems a block form of the iterative algorithm is presented. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 14: 581–591, 1998

Comments on “New exact kink solutions, solitons and periodic form solutions for a combined KdV and Schwarzian KdV equation”

In this paper, we demonstrate that 14 solutions from 34 of the combined KdV and Schwarzian KdV equation obtained by Li [Z.T. Li, Appl. Math. Comput. 215 (2009) 2886-2890] are wrong and do not satisfy the equation. The other a number of exact solutions are equivalent each other.     

Iterative splitting methods for solving time-dependent problems

There is increasing motivation for solving time-dependent differential equations with iterative splitting schemes. While Magnus expansion has been intensively studied and widely applied for solving explicitly time-dependent problems, the combination with iterative splitting schemes can open up new areas. The main problems with the Magnus expansion are the exponential character and the difficulty of deriving practical higher order algorithms. An alternative method is based on iterative splitting methods that take into account a temporally inhomogeneous equation. In this work, we show that the ideas derived from the iterative splitting methods can be used to solve time-dependent problems. Examples are discussed.
