Riemann theta functions periodic wave solutions and rational characteristics for the (1+1)-dimensional and (2+1)-dimensional Ito equation

In this paper, based on a multidimensional Riemann theta function, a lucid and straightforward way is presented to explicitly construct multiperiodic Riemann theta functions periodic waves solutions for nonlinear differential equation such as the (1+1)-dimensional and (2+1)-dimensional Ito equations. Among these periodic waves, the one-periodic waves are well-known cnoidal waves, their surface pattern is one-dimensional, and often they are used as one-dimensional models of periodic waves. The two-periodic waves are a direct generalization of one-periodic waves, their surface pattern is two dimensional that they have two independent spatial periods in two independent horizontal directions. A limiting procedure is presented to analyze asymptotic behavior of the multiperiodic periodic waves in details and the relations between the periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions are rigorously established.     

Soliton solutions of a BBM(m, n) equation with generalized evolution

We consider a BBM(m, n) equation which is a generalization of the celebrated Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation with generalized evolution term. By using two solitary wave ansatze in terms of sech^p(x) and tanh^p(x) functions, we find exact analytical bright and dark soliton solutions for the considered model. The physical parameters in the soliton solutions are obtained as function of the dependent model coefficients. The conditions of existence of solitons are presented. Note that, it is always useful and desirable to construct exact analytical solutions especially soliton-type envelope for the understanding of most nonlinear physical phenomena.     

Super Riemann theta function periodic wave solutions and rational characteristics for a supersymmetric KdV-Burgers equation

Using a multidimensional super Riemann theta function, we propose two key theorems for explicitly constructing multiperiodic super Riemann theta function periodic wave solutions of supersymmetric equations in the superspace ℝ _Λ^N+1,M, which is a lucid and direct generalization of the super-Hirota-Riemann method. Once a supersymmetric equation is written in a bilinear form, its super Riemann theta function periodic wave solutions can be directly obtained by using our two theorems. As an application, we present a supersymmetric Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation. We study the limit procedure in detail and rigorously establish the asymptotic behavior of the multiperiodic waves and the relations between periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions. Moreover, we find that in contrast to the purely bosonic case, an interesting phenomenon occurs among the super Riemann theta function periodic waves in the presence of the Grassmann variable. The super Riemann theta function periodic waves are symmetric about the band but collapse along with the band. Furthermore, the results can be extended to the case N > 2; here, we only consider an existence condition for an N-periodic wave solution of a general supersymmetric equation.     

Periodic wave solutions and asymptotic analysis of the Hirota–Satsuma shallow water wave equation

In this paper, we devise a simple way to explicitly construct the Riemann theta function periodic wave solution of the nonlinear partial differential equation. The resulting theory is applied to the Hirota–Satsuma shallow water wave equation. Bilinear forms are presented to explicitly construct periodic wave solutions based on a multidimensional Riemann theta function. We obtain the one‐periodic and two‐periodic wave solutions of the equation. The relations between the periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions are rigorously established.

A repository of equations with cosine/sine compactons

Nonlinear evolution equations with cosine/sine compacton solutions are reviewed, including the Rosenau-Hyman equation and generalizations of Korteweg-de Vries, Camassa-Holm, Boussinesq, Benjamin-Bona-Mahony, Klein-Gordon and other equations. Each equation is generalized to three dimensions and the conditions for its cosine solitary waves to be either a compacton or a soliton are determined. Several equations claimed in the literature to be different among them are found to be equivalent.

New exact solutions to the -dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation

In this paper, the extended tanh method, the sech–csch ansatz, the Hirota’s bilinear formalism combined with the simplified Hereman form and the Darboux transformation method are applied to determine the traveling wave solutions and other kinds of exact solutions for the (2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation and abundant new soliton solutions, kink solutions, periodic wave solutions and complexiton solutions are formally derived. The work confirms the significant features of the employed methods and shows the variety of the obtained solutions.     

The generalized nonlinear initial-boundary Riemann problem for linearly degenerate quasilinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws

This work is a continuation of our previous work, in the present paper we study the generalized nonlinear initial-boundary Riemann problem with small BV data for linearly degenerate quasilinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with nonlinear boundary conditions in a half space . We prove the global existence and uniqueness of piecewise C¹ solution containing only contact discontinuities to a class of the generalized nonlinear initial-boundary Riemann problem, which can be regarded as a small BV perturbation of the corresponding nonlinear initial-boundary Riemann problem, for general n×n linearly degenerate quasilinear hyperbolic system of conservation laws; moreover, this solution has a global structure similar to the one of the self-similar solution to the corresponding nonlinear initial-boundary Riemann problem. Some applications to quasilinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws arising in the string theory and high energy physics are also given.

An analytic approximate method for solving stochastic integrodifferential equations

In this paper we compare the solution of a general stochastic integrodifferential equation of the Ito type, with the solutions of a sequence of appropriate equations of the same type, whose coefficients are Taylor series of the coefficients of the original equation. The approximate solutions are defined on a partition of the time-interval. The rate of the closeness between the original and approximate solutions is measured in the sense of the Lp-norm, so that it decreases if the degrees of these Taylor series increase, analogously to real analysis. The convergence with probability one is also proved.     

An approximate method via Taylor series for stochastic functional differential equations

The subject of this paper is an analytic approximate method for stochastic functional differential equations whose coefficients are functionals, sufficiently smooth in the sense of Fréchet derivatives. The approximate equations are defined on equidistant partitions of the time interval, and their coefficients are general Taylor expansions of the coefficients of the initial equation. It will be shown that the approximate solutions converge in the Lp-norm and with probability one to the solution of the initial equation, and also that the rate of convergence increases when degrees in Taylor expansions increase, analogously to real analysis.     

Strong convergence of approximate solutions for nonlinear hyperbolic equation without convexity

Schonbek [M.E. Schonbek, Convergence of solutions to nonlinear dispersive equations, Comm. Partial Differential Equations 7 (1982) 959-1000] obtained the strong convergence of uniform bounded approximate solutions to hyperbolic scalar equation under the assumption that the flux function is strictly convex. While in this paper, by constructing four families of Lax entropies, we succeed in dealing with the non-convexity with the aid of the well-known Bernstein-Weierstrass theorem, and obtaining the strong convergence of uniform L^∞ or bounded viscosity solutions for scalar conservation law without convexity.     

A note on exact complex travelling wave solutions for (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

The -expansion method can be used for constructing exact travelling wave solutions of real nonlinear evolution equations. In this paper, we improve the -expansion method and explore new application of this method to (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (BKP) equation. New types of exact complex travelling wave solutions of (2+1)-dimensional BKP equation are found. Some exact solutions of (2+1)-dimensional BKP equation obtained before are special cases of our results in this paper.

In this paper we characterize the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions of inhomogeneous abstract delay equations and establish maximal regularity results for strong solutions. The conditions are obtained in terms of R-boundedness of linear operators determined by the equations and Lp- Fourier multipliers. Periodic mild solutions are also studied and characterized.     

Some decomposition method for analytic solving of certain nonlinear partial differential equations in physics with applications

Certain nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs) can be decomposed into several more simple equations, which can possess enough general analytic solutions. This approach and some interesting kinds of solutions (obtained by using this method) of some NPDEs in physics will be presented. The presented approach is somewhat similar to the homogeneous balance method, however they are different.     

Exact boundary observability for nonautonomous quasilinear wave equations

By means of a direct and constructive method based on the theory of semiglobal C² solution, the local exact boundary observability is shown for nonautonomous 1-D quasilinear wave equations. The essential difference between nonautonomous wave equations and autonomous ones is also revealed.     

Global existence for the one-dimensional second order semilinear hyperbolic equations

The aim of the paper is to study necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the global solution of the one-dimensional semilinear equation appearing in the boundary value problems of gas dynamics. We investigate the Cauchy problem for such equation in the domain where the operator is weakly hyperbolic. We obtain the necessary condition for the existence of the self-similar solutions for the semilinear Gellerstedt-type equation. The approach used in the paper is based on the fundamental solution of the linear Gellerstedt operator and the Lp-Lq estimates.     

Uniform stability of solutions of Boltzmann equation for soft potential with external force

The study of Cauchy problem of the Boltzmann equation is important in both theory and applications. Existence of global solutions to the equation and uniform stability of solutions in the absence of external force were introduced in the previous work on the Boltzmann equation. In this paper, we will investigate the uniform stability of solutions in L¹ for the Cauchy problem of the Boltzmann equation when there is an external force for the case of soft potentials.
