Axially asymmetric traveling fronts in balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equations

For a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation, an axisymmetric traveling front has been well known. This paper proves that an axially asymmetric traveling front with any positive speed does exist in a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation. Our method is as follows. We use a pyramidal traveling front for an unbalanced reaction-diffusion equation whose cross section has a major axis and a minor axis. Preserving the ratio of the major axis and a minor axis to be a constant and taking the balanced limit, we obtain a traveling front in a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation. This traveling front is monotone decreasing with respect to the traveling axis, and its cross section is a compact set with a major axis and a minor axis when the constant ratio is not 1.

Analytical examples of diffusive waves generated by a traveling wave

We construct analytical solutions for a system composed of a reaction–diffusion equation coupled with a purely diffusive equation. The question is to know if the traveling wave solutions of the reaction–diffusion equation can generate a traveling wave for the diffusion equation. Our motivation comes from the calcic wave, generated after fertilization within the egg cell endoplasmic reticulum, and propagating within the egg cell. We consider both the monostable (Fisher–KPP type) and bistable cases. We use a piecewise linear reaction term so as to build explicit solutions, which leads us to compute exponential tails whose exponents are roots of second-, third-, or fourth-order polynomials. These raise conditions on the coefficients for existence of a traveling wave of the diffusion equation. The question of positivity and monotonicity is only partially answered.

Traveling waves for a boundary reaction–diffusion equation

We prove the existence of a traveling wave solution for a boundary reaction–diffusion equation when the reaction term is the combustion nonlinearity with ignition temperature. A key role in the proof is plaid by an explicit formula for traveling wave solutions of a free boundary problem obtained as singular limit for the reaction–diffusion equation (the so-called high energy activation energy limit). This explicit formula, which is interesting in itself, also allows us to get an estimate on the decay at infinity of the traveling wave (which turns out to be faster than the usual exponential decay).     

Traveling waves in a generalized nonlinear dispersive–dissipative equation

D. Zeidan In this paper, we consider the existence of traveling waves in a generalized nonlinear dispersive–dissipative equation, which is found in many areas of application including waves in a thermoconvective liquid layer and nonlinear electromagnetic waves. By using the theory of dynamical systems, specifically based on geometric singular perturbation theory and invariant manifold theory, Fredholm theory, and the linear chain trick, we construct a locally invariant manifold for the associated traveling wave equation and use this invariant manifold to obtain the traveling waves for the nonlinear dispersive–dissipative equation.

The Exact Solutions for the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony Equation

The Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation represents the unidirectional propagation of nonlinear dispersive long waves, which has a clear physical background, and is a more suitable mathematical and physical equation than the KdV equation. Therefore, the research on the BBM equation is very important. In this article, we put forward an effective algorithm, the modified hyperbolic function expanding method, to build the solutions of the BBM equation. We, by utilizing the modified hyperbolic function expanding method, obtain the traveling wave solutions of the BBM equation. When the parameters are taken as special values, the solitary waves are also derived from the traveling waves. The traveling wave solutions are expressed by the hyperbolic functions, the trigonometric functions and the rational functions. The modified hyperbolic function expanding method is direct, concise, elementary and effective, and can be used for many other nonlinear partial differential equations.

Bifurcation and the exact smooth,cusp solitary and periodic wave solutions of the generalized Kudryashov–Sinelshchikov equation

The main aim of this paper is to study the exact traveling wave solutions of the generalized Kudryashov–Sinelshchikov equation by using the auxiliary equation method based on the conclusion of qualitative analysis. The advantage of this method is to choose the effective and proper auxiliary equation on the base of the behaviors and traits of solutions revealed by analysis of phase portraits to study the solution of differential equations. By applying the proposed approach to the generalized Kudryashov–Sinelshchikov equation, the number, behavior and existence of smooth and non-smooth traveling wave solutions are gained, at the same time, the new exact smooth solitary, periodic wave solutions and cusp solitary, periodic wave solutions are obtained. From the dynamic point of view, the behavior of traveling wave solutions is analyzed. The profile,type and the form of exact expression of traveling wave solutions are influenced by the order of nonlinear term and nonlinear terms.

     

Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation and its traveling solitary waves

The Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation has wide applications in physics, engineering and fluid mechanics. The Poincare phase plane analysis reveals that the Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation has neither nontrivial bell-profile traveling solitary waves, nor periodic waves. In the present paper, we show two approaches for the study of traveling solitary waves of the Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation: one is a direct method which involves a few coordinate transformations, and the other is the Lie group method. Our study indicates that the Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation indirectly admits one-parameter Lie groups of transformations with certain parametric conditions and a traveling solitary wave solution with an arbitrary velocity is obtained accordingly. Some incorrect statements in the recent literature are clarified.     

Moving gap solitons in periodic potentials

We address the existence of moving gap solitons (traveling localized solutions) in the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with a small periodic potential. Moving gap solitons are approximated by the explicit solutions of the coupled‐mode system. We show, however, that exponentially decaying traveling solutions of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation do not generally exist in the presence of a periodic potential due to bounded oscillatory tails ahead and behind the moving solitary waves. The oscillatory tails are not accounted in the coupled‐mode formalism and are estimated by using techniques of spatial dynamics and local center‐stable manifold reductions. Existence of bounded traveling solutions of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with a single bump surrounded by oscillatory tails on a large interval of the spatial scale is proven by using these techniques.

Traveling Wave Solutions in an Integrodifference Equation with Weak Compactness

This article studies the existence of traveling wave solutions in an integrodifference equation with weak compactness. Because of the special kernel function that may depend on the Dirac function, traveling wave maps have lower regularity such that it is difficult to directly look for a traveling wave solution in the uniformly continuous and bounded functional space. In this paper, by introducing a proper set of potential wave profiles, we can obtain the existence and precise asymptotic behavior of nontrivial traveling wave solutions, during which we do not require the monotonicity of this model.

Traveling Waves of the (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-Boussinesq equation

In this paper, the bifurcation theory of dynamical system is applied to study the traveling waves of the (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-Boussinesq (KP-Boussinesq) equation. By transforming the traveling wave system of the KP-Boussinesq equation into a dynamical system in $R^{3}$, we derive various parameter conditions which guarantee the existence of its bounded and unbounded orbits. Furthermore, by calculating complicated elliptic integrals along these orbits, we obtain exact expressions of all possible traveling wave solutions of the (3+1)-dimensional KP-Boussines equation.

Employing the standard asymptotic theory, we obtain asymptotic behavior of traveling wave solution of the equation.     

A numerical investigation of blow-up in reaction-diffusion problems with traveling heat sources

This paper studies the numerical solution of a reaction-diffusion differential equation with traveling heat sources. According to the fact that the locations of heat sources are known, we add auxiliary mesh points exactly at heat sources and present a novel moving mesh algorithm for solving the problem. Several examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the new moving mesh method, especially in the case of two or three traveling heat sources. Moreover, numerical results illustrate that the speed of the movement of the heat source is critical for blow-up when there is only one traveling heat source. For the case of two traveling heat sources, blow-up depends not only on the speed but also on the distance between the two traveling heat sources.     

Traveling waves in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

Summary In this paper we consider a modulation (or amplitude) equation that appears in the nonlinear stability analysis of reversible or nearly reversible systems. This equation is the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with coefficients with small imaginary parts. We regard this equation as a perturbation of the real Ginzburg-Landau equation and study the persistence of the properties of the stationary solutions of the real equation under this perturbation. First we show that it is necessary to consider a two-parameter family of traveling solutions with wave speedυ and (temporal) frequencyθ; these solutions are the natural continuations of the stationary solutions of the real equation. We show that there exists a two-parameter family of traveling quasiperiodic solutions that can be regarded as a direct continuation of the two-parameter family of spatially quasi-periodic solutions of the integrable stationary real Ginzburg-Landau equation. We explicitly determine a region in the (wave speedυ, frequencyθ)-parameter space in which the weakly complex Ginzburg-Landau equation has traveling quasi-periodic solutions. There are two different one-parameter families of heteroclinic solutions in the weakly complex case. One of them consists of slowly varying plane waves; the other is directly related to the analytical solutions due to Bekki & Nozaki [3]. These solutions correspond to traveling localized structures that connect two different periodic patterns. The connections correspond to a one-parameter family of heteroclinic cycles in an o.d.e. reduction. This family of cycles is obtained by determining the limit behaviour of the traveling quasi-periodic solutions as the period of the amplitude goes to ∞. Therefore, the heteroclinic cycles merge into the stationary homoclinic solution of the real Ginzburg-Landau equation in the limit in which the imaginary terms disappear.     

Non-monotone traveling waves and entire solutions for a delayed nonlocal dispersal equation

This paper is concerned with the traveling waves and entire solutions for a delayed nonlocal dispersal equation with convolution- type crossing-monostable nonlinearity. We first establish the existence of non-monotone traveling waves. By Ikehara’s Tauberian theorem, we further prove the asymptotic behavior of traveling waves, including monotone and non-monotone ones. Then, based on the obtained asymptotic behavior, the uniqueness of the traveling waves is proved. Finally, the entire solutions are considered. By introducing two auxiliary monostable equations and establishing some comparison arguments for the three equations, some new types of entire solutions are constructed via the traveling wavefronts and spatially independent solutions of the auxiliary equations.
