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.     

A Note on Some Sub-Equation Methods and New Types of Exact Travelling Wave Solutions for Two Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Sub-equation methods are used for constructing exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. The key idea of these methods is to take full advantage of all kinds of special solutions of sub-equation, which is usually a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. We present a function transformation which not only gives us a clear relation among these sub-equation methods, but also can be used to obtain the general solutions of these sub-equations. And then new exact travelling wave solutions of the CKdV-MKdV equation and the CKdV equations as applications of this transformation are obtained, and the approach presented in this paper can be also applied to other nonlinear partial differential equations.      

Similarity solutions to nonlinear heat conduction and Burgers/Korteweg–deVries fractional equations

We analyze self-similar solutions to a nonlinear fractional diffusion equation and fractional Burgers/Korteweg–deVries equation in one spatial variable. By using Lie-group scaling transformation, we determined the similarity solutions. After the introduction of the similarity variables, both problems are reduced to ordinary nonlinear fractional differential equations. In two special cases exact solutions to the ordinary fractional differential equation, which is derived from the diffusion equation, are presented. In several other cases the ordinary fractional differential equations are solved numerically, for several values of governing parameters. In formulating the numerical procedure, we use special representation of a fractional derivative that is recently obtained.

Comparison of approximate symmetry and approximate homotopy symmetry to the Cahn–Hilliard equation

Complete infinite order approximate symmetry and approximate homotopy symmetry classifications of the Cahn–Hilliard equation are performed and the reductions are constructed by an optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras. Zero order similarity reduced equations are nonlinear ordinary differential equations while higher order similarity solutions can be obtained by solving linear variable coefficient ordinary differential equations. The relationship between two methods for different order are studied and the results show that the approximate homotopy symmetry method is more effective to control the convergence of series solutions than the approximate symmetry one.

A method of solving a nonlinear boundary value problem with a parameter for a loaded differential equation

A nonlinear loaded differential equation with a parameter on a finite interval is studied. The interval is partitioned by the load points, at which the values of the solution to the equation are set as additional parameters. A nonlinear boundary value problem for the considered equation is reduced to a nonlinear multipoint boundary value problem for the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with parameters. For fixed parameters, we obtain the Cauchy problems for ordinary differential equations on the subintervals. Substituting the values of the solutions to these problems into the boundary condition and continuity conditions at the partition points, we compose a system of nonlinear algebraic equations in parameters. A method of solving the boundary value problem with a parameter is proposed. The method is based on finding the solution to the system of nonlinear algebraic equations composed.     

Investigation of new solutions for an extended (2+ 1)-dimensional Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schif equation

We investigate and concentrate on new infinitesimal generators of Lie symmetries for an extended (2+ 1)-dimensional Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schif (eCBS) equation using the commutator table which results in a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which can be manually solved. Through two stages of Lie symmetry reductions, the eCBS equation is reduced to non-solvable nonlinear ODEs using different combinations of optimal Lie vectors. Using the integration method and the Riccati and Bernoulli equation methods, we investigate new analytical solutions to those ODEs. Back substituting to the original variables generates new solutions to the eCBS equation. These results are simulated through three- and two-dimensional plots.

Exact solutions of nonlinear time fractional partial differential equations by sub‐equation method

In this article, the sub‐equation method is presented for finding the exact solutions of a nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. For this, the fractional complex transformation method has been used to convert fractional‐order partial differential equation to ordinary differential equation. The fractional derivatives are described in Jumarie's the modified Riemann–Liouville sense. We apply to this method for the nonlinear time fractional differential equations. With the aid of symbolic computation, a variety of exact solutions for them are obtained. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Complex Lie symmetries for scalar second-order ordinary differential equations

A scalar complex ordinary differential equation can be considered as two coupled real partial differential equations, along with the constraint of the Cauchy–Riemann equations, which constitute a system of four equations for two unknown real functions of two real variables. It is shown that the resulting system possesses those real Lie symmetries that are obtained by splitting each complex Lie symmetry of the given complex ordinary differential equation. Further, if we restrict the complex function to be of a single real variable, then the complex ordinary differential equation yields a coupled system of two ordinary differential equations and their invariance can be obtained in a non-trivial way from the invariance of the restricted complex differential equation. Also, the use of a complex Lie symmetry reduces the order of the complex ordinary differential equation (restricted complex ordinary differential equation) by one, which in turn yields a reduction in the order by one of the system of partial differential equations (system of ordinary differential equations). In this paper, for simplicity, we investigate the case of scalar second-order ordinary differential equations. As a consequence, we obtain an extension of the Lie table for second-order equations with two symmetries.
