Spherically symmetric nonstatic perfect fluid solutions with shear

In this paper we investigate solutions of Einstein's field equations for the spherically symmetric perfect fluid case with shear and with vanishing acceleration. If these solutions have shear, they must necessarily be nonstatic. We examine the integrable cases of the field equations systematically. Among the cases with shear we find three known classes of solutions. The fourth class of solutions with shear leads to a generalized Emden-Fowler equation. This equation is discussed by means of Lie's method of point symmetries.     

On non-Lie ansatzes and new exact solutions of the classical Yang-Mills equations

Abstract

We ssuggest an effective method for reducing Yang-Mills equations to systems of ordinary differential equations. With the use of this method, we construct wide families of new exact solutions of the Yang-Mills equations. Analysis of the solutions obtained shows that they correspond to conditional symmetry of the equations under study.     

Solvable and/or Integrable and/or Linearizable N-Body Problems in Ordinary (Three-Dimensional) Space. I

Abstract

Several N -body problems in ordinary (3-dimensional) space are introduced which are characterized by Newtonian equations of motion (“acceleration equal force;” in most cases, the forces are velocity-dependent) and are amenable to exact treatment (“solvable” and/or “integrable” and/or “linearizable”). These equations of motion are always rotation-invariant, and sometimes translation-invariant as well. In many cases they are Hamiltonian, but the discussion of this aspect is postponed to a subsequent paper. We consider “few-body problems” (with, say, N =1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,...) as well as “many-body problems” (N an arbitrary positive integer). The main focus of this paper is on various techniques to uncover such N -body problems. We do not discuss the detailed behavior of the solutions of all these problems, but we do identify several models whose motions are completely periodic or multiply periodic, and we exhibit in rather explicit form the solutions in some cases.     

The Application of Extended Tanh-Function Approach in Toda Lattice Equations

In this paper, we generalize the extended tanh-function approach, which used to find new exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDES) or coupled nonlinear partial differential equations, to nonlinear differential-difference equations (NDDES). As illustration, we discuss some Toda lattice equations, and solitary wave and periodic wave solutions of these Toda lattice equations are obtained by means of the extended tanh-function approach.

A Symmetry Connection Between Hyperbolic and Parabolic Equations

Abstract

We give ansatzes obtained from Lie symmetries of some hyperbolic equations which reduce these equations to the heat or Schrödinger equations. This enables us to construct new solutions of the hyperbolic equations using the Lie and conditional symmetries of the parabolic equations. Moreover, we note that any equation related to such a hyperbolic equation (for example the Dirac equation) also has solutions constructed from the heat and Schrödinger equations.     

A boundary integral method to compute Green's functions for the radiative transport equation

The Green's function for the time-independent radiative transport equation in the whole space can be computed as an expansion in plane wave solutions. Plane wave solutions are a general class of solutions for the radiative transport equation. Because plane wave solutions are not known analytically in general, we calculate them numerically using the discrete ordinate method. We use the whole space Green's function to derive boundary integral equations. Through the solution of the boundary integral equations, we compute the Green's function for bounded domains. In particular we compute the Green's function for the half space, the slab, and the two-layered half space. The boundary conditions used here are in their most general form. Hence, this theory can be applied to boundaries with any kind of reflection and transmission law.     

Two new integrable Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations with time-dependent coefficients: multiple real and complex soliton solutions

ABSTRACT

In this work, we develop two new integrable Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equations with time-dependent coefficients. The integrability property of each equation is explicitly demonstrated exhibiting the Painlevé test to confirm its integrability. Moreover, each equation admits multiple real and multiple complex soliton solutions. We introduce complex forms of the simplified Hirota's method to derive multiple complex soliton solutions. These two model equations are likely to be of applicative relevance, because it may be considered an application of a large class of nonlinear KP equations.     

Differential Equations Compatible with KZ Equations

We define a system of dynamical differential equations compatible with the KZ differential equations. The KZ differential equations are associated to a complex simple Lie algebra g. These are equations on a function of n complex variables z _i taking values in the tensor product of n finite dimensional g-modules. The KZ equations depend on the dual variable in the Cartan subalgebra of g. The dynamical differential equations are differential equations with respect to the dual variable. We prove that the standard hypergeometric solutions of the KZ equations also satisfy the dynamical equations. As an application we give a new determinant formula for the coordinates of a basis of hypergeometric solutions.     

Nonlinear diffusion under a time dependent external force: q-maximum entropy solutions

Nonlinear diffusion equations provide useful models for a number of interesting phenomena, such as diffusion processes in porous media. We study here a family of nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations endowed both with a power-law nonlinear diffusion term and a drift term with a time dependent force linear in the spatial variable. We show that these partial differential equations exhibit exact time dependent particular solutions of the Tsallis maximum entropy (q-MaxEnt) form. These results constitute generalizations of previous ones recently discussed in the literature [C. Tsallis, D.J. Bukman, Phys. Rev. E 54, R2197 (1996)], concerning q-MaxEnt solutions to nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations with linear, time independent drift forces. We also show that the present formalism can be used to generate approximate q-MaxEnt solutions for nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations with time independent drift forces characterized by a general spatial dependence.

Riemann Invariants and Rank-k Solutions of Hyperbolic Systems

Abstract

In this paper we employ a “direct method” to construct rank-k solutions, expressible in Riemann invariants, to hyperbolic system of first order quasilinear di!erential equations in many dimensions. The most important feature of our approach is the analysis of group invariance properties of these solutions and applying the conditional symmetry reduction technique to the initial equations. We discuss in detail the necessary and su"cient conditions for existence of these type of solutions. We demonstrate our approach through several examples of hydrodynamic type systems; new classes of solutions are obtained in a closed form.     

Fractional sub-equation method for Hirota–Satsuma-coupled KdV equation and coupled mKdV equation using the Atangana’s conformable derivative

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we present the exact solutions obtained for the space–time conformable generalized Hirota–Satsuma-coupled KdV equation and coupled mKdV equation using the Atangana’s conformable derivative. The conformable sub-equation method is applied to obtain the solutions; the solutions obtained are compared with the extended tanh-function method for the special case when the fractional order takes the integer order. The analytical solutions show that the conformable sub-equation method is very effective for the conformable-coupled KdV and mKdV equations.     

On the Calculation of Finite-Gap Solutions of the KdV Equation

Abstract

A simple and general approach for calculating the elliptic finite-gap solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is proposed. Our approach is based on the use of the finite-gap equations and the general representation of these solutions in the form of rational functions of the elliptic Weierstrass function. The calculation of initial elliptic finite-gap solutions is reduced to the solution of the finite-band equations with respect to the parameters of the representation. The time evolution of these solutions is described via the dynamic equations of their poles, integrated with the help of the finite-gap equations. The proposed approach is applied by calculating the elliptic 1-, 2- and 3-gap solutions of the KdV equations.     

Further remark concerning spherically symmetric nonstatic separable solutions to the Einstein equations in the comoving frame

We consider nonstatic spherically symmetric fluid solutions to the Einstein equations which, in the comoving frame, have metric coefficients that are separable functions of their arguments and that have an origin. Subject to the vanishing of the heat flux, we show that all such solutions with shear and non-vanishing shear viscosity have a scalar polynomial singularity at the origin if the fluid satisfies both the weak and strong energy conditions. When combined with previous results [1] we conclude that for the metric forms under consideration, the only fluid solutions to the Einstein equations with vanishing heat flux which satisfy the energy conditions and are free of singularities at the origin are the Robertson-Walker solutions.     

Symmetry Reduction and Exact Solutions of the Euler–Lagrange–Born–Infeld,Multidimensional Monge–Ampere and Eikonal Equations

Abstract

Using the subgroup structure of the generalized Poincaré group P (1, 4), ansatzes which reduce the Euler–Lagrange–Born–Infeld, multidimensional Monge–Ampere and eikonal equations to differential equations with fewer independent variables have been constructed. Among these ansatzes there are ones which reduce the considered equations to linear ordinary differential equations. The corresponding symmetry reduction has been done. Using the solutions of the reduced equations, some classes of exact solutions of the investigated equation have been presented.     

First Integrals and Parametric Solutions for Equations Integrable Through Lie Symmetries

Abstract

We present here the explicit parametric solutions of second order differential equations invariant under time translation and rescaling and third order differential equations invariant under time translation and the two homogeneity symmetries. The computation of first integrals gives in the most general case, the parametric form of the general solution. For some polynomial functions we obtain a time parametrisation quadrature which can be solved in terms of “known” functions.     

Relativistic Two-Body Problem: Existence and Uniqueness of Two-Sided Solutions to Functional-Differential Equations of Motion

Abstract

We study a class of explicitly Poincare-invariant equations of motion (EMs) of two point bodies with a finite speed of propagation of interactions (combination of retarded and advanced ones) that may be considered as functional-differential equations or differential equations with deviating argument of a neutral type. Under conditions having a clear physical interpretation it is proved that there exist ordinary differential equations with all weakly-relativistic solutions satisfying the initial EMs. The existence and uniqueness of two-sided solutions of initial EMs on the infinite time interval are investigated.

Abstract

An efficient method for constructing of particular solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations is introduced. The method can be applied to nonintegrable equations as well as to integrable ones. Examples include multisoliton and periodic solutions of the famous integrable evolution equation (KdV) and the new solutions, describing interaction of solitary waves of nonintegrable equation.

Contiguity relations for discrete and ultradiscrete Painlevé equations

Abstract

We show that the solutions of ultradiscrete Painlevé equations satisfy contiguity relations just as their continuous and discrete counterparts. Our starting point are the relations for q-discrete Painlevé equations which we then proceed to ultradiscretise. In this paper we obtain results for the one-parameter q-P_III, the symmetric q-P_IV and the q-P_IV. These results show that there exists a perfect parallel between the properties of continuous, discrete and ultradiscrete Painlevé equations.
