The element-free Galerkin method of numerically solving a regularized long-wave equation

The element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is used in this paper to find the numerical solution to a regularized long-wave (RLW) equation. The Galerkin weak form is adopted to obtain the discrete equations, and the essential boundary conditions are imposed by the penalty method. The effectiveness of the EFG method of solving the RLW equation is investigated by two numerical examples in this paper.     

Element-free Galerkin method for a kind of KdV equation

The present paper deals with the numerical solution of the third-order nonlinear KdV equation using the element-free Galerkin (EFG) method which is based on the moving least-squares approximation. A variational method is used to obtain discrete equations, and the essential boundary conditions are enforced by the penalty method. Compared with numerical methods based on mesh, the EFG method for KdV equations needs only scattered nodes instead of meshing the domain of the problem. It does not require any element connectivity and does not suffer much degradation in accuracy when nodal arrangements are very irregular. The effectiveness of the EFG method for the KdV equation is investigated by two numerical examples in this paper.     

On the theory of acoustic solitons in a liquid with distributed gas bubbles

A close relation is established between numerical solutions to two systems of equations, viz., the two-level nonlinear wave dynamic model of a liquid with gas bubbles and the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. This model is used for deriving the KdV equation in the long-wave approximation for any dependent variable of the gas-liquid mixture. The KdV equations derived earlier using radically different approximations are particular cases of our equations.     

Analysis of an Implicit Fully Discrete Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Time-Fractional Kdv Equation

In this paper, we consider a fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) finite element method for a time-fractional Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. The method is based on a finite difference scheme in time and local discontinuous Galerkin methods in space. We show that our scheme is unconditionally stable and convergent through analysis. Numerical examples are shown to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of our scheme.

Multi-symplectic method for generalized fifth-order KdV equation

This paper considers the multi-symplectic formulations of the generalized fifth-order KdV equation in Hamiltonian space. Recurring to the midpoint rule, it presents an implicit multi-symplectic scheme with discrete multi-symplectic conservation law to solve the partial differential equations which are derived from the generalized fifth-order KdV equation numerically. The results of the numerical experiments show that this multi-symplectic algorithm is good in accuracy and its long-time numerical behaviour is also perfect.     

Solutions to Class of Linear and Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations

In this paper, the fractional auxiliary sub-equation expansion method is proposed to solve nonlinear fractional differential equations. To illustrate the effectiveness of the method, we discuss the space-time fractional Kd V equation, the space-time fractional RLW equation, the space-time fractional Boussinesq equation, and the(3+1)-spacetime fractional ZK equation. The solutions are expressed in terms of fractional hyperbolic and fractional trigonometric functions. These solutions are useful to understand the mechanisms of the complicated nonlinear physical phenomena and fractional differential equations. Among these solutions, some are found for the first time. The analytical solution of homogenous linear FDEs with constant coefficients are obtained by using the series and the Mittag–Leffler function methods. The obtained results recover the well-know solutions when α = 1.

A deep learning method for solving third-order nonlinear evolution equations

It has still been difficult to solve nonlinear evolution equations analytically. In this paper, we present a deep learning method for recovering the intrinsic nonlinear dynamics from spatiotemporal data directly. Specifically, the model uses a deep neural network constrained with given governing equations to try to learn all optimal parameters. In particular, numerical experiments on several third-order nonlinear evolution equations, including the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, modified KdV equation, KdV–Burgers equation and Sharma–Tasso–Olver equation, demonstrate that the presented method is able to uncover the solitons and their interaction behaviors fairly well.     

Numerical simulation of the regularized long wave equation by He's homotopy perturbation method

In this Letter, we present the homotopy perturbation method (shortly HPM) for obtaining the numerical solution of the RLW equation. We obtain the exact and numerical solutions of the Regularized Long Wave (RLW) equation for certain initial condition. The initial approximation can be freely chosen with possible unknown constants which can be determined by imposing the boundary and initial conditions. Comparison of the results with those of other methods have led us to significant consequences. The numerical solutions are compared with the known analytical solutions.     

Numerical method satisfying the first two conservation laws for the Korteweg–de Vries equation

In this paper, we develop a finite-volume scheme for the KdV equation which conserves both the momentum and energy. The main ingredient of the method is a numerical device we developed in recent years that enables us to construct numerical method for a PDE that also simulates its related equations. In the method, numerical approximations to both the momentum and energy are conservatively computed. The operator splitting approach is adopted in constructing the method in which the conservation and dispersion parts of the equation are alternatively solved; our numerical device is applied in solving the conservation part of the equation. The feasibility and stability of the method is discussed, which involves an important property of the method, the so-called Jensen condition. The truncation error of the method is analyzed, which shows that the method is second-order accurate. Finally, several numerical examples, including the Zabusky–Kruskal’s example, are presented to show the good stability property of the method for long-time numerical integration.     

Interior penalty DG methods for Maxwell’s equations in dispersive media

In this paper, we develop a fully-discrete interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method for solving the time-dependent Maxwell’s equations in dispersive media. The model is described by a vector integral–differential equation. Our scheme is proved to be unconditionally stable and achieve optimal error estimates in both L² norm and energy norm. The scheme is implemented and numerical results supporting our analysis are presented.     

Time-Domain Numerical Solutions of Maxwell Interface Problems with Discontinuous Electromagnetic Waves

This paper is devoted to time domain numerical solutions of two-dimensional (2D) material interface problems governed by the transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) Maxwell's equations with discontinuous electromagnetic solutions. Due to the discontinuity in wave solutions across the interface, the usual numerical methods will converge slowly or even fail to converge. This calls for the development of advanced interface treatments for popular Maxwell solvers. We will investigate such interface treatments by considering two typical Maxwell solvers – one based on collocation formulation and the other based on Galerkin formulation. To restore the accuracy reduction of the collocation finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm near an interface, the physical jump conditions relating discontinuous wave solutions on both sides of the interface must be rigorously enforced. For this purpose, a novel matched interface and boundary (MIB) scheme is proposed in this work, in which new jump conditions are derived so that the discontinuous and staggered features of electric and magnetic field components can be accommodated. The resulting MIB time-domain (MIBTD) scheme satisfies the jump conditions locally and suppresses the staircase approximation errors completely over the Yee lattices. In the discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) algorithm – a popular Galerkin Maxwell solver, a proper numerical flux can be designed to accurately capture the jumps in the electromagnetic waves across the interface and automatically preserves the discontinuity in the explicit time integration. The DGTD solution to Maxwell interface problems is explored in this work, by considering a nodal based high order discontinuous Galerkin method. In benchmark TM and TE tests with analytical solutions, both MIBTD and DGTD schemes achieve the second order of accuracy in solving circular interfaces. In comparison, the numerical convergence of the MIBTD method is slightly more uniform, while the DGTD method is more flexible and robust.     

Multisymplectic Euler Box Scheme for the KdV Equation

We investigate the multisymplectic Euler box scheme for the Korteweg-de Vries （KdV） equation. A new completely explicit six-point scheme is derived. Numerical experiments of the new scheme with comparisons to the Zabusky-Kruskal scheme, the multisymplectic 12-point scheme, the narrow box scheme and the spectral method are made to show nice numerical stability and ability to preserve the integral invariant for long-time integration.     

Lie Symmetry and Nonlinear Instability in Computation of KdV Solitons

The soliton calculation method put forward by Zabusky and Kruskal has played an important role in the development of soliton theory, however numerous numerical results show that even though the parameters satisfy the linear stability condition, nonlinear instability will also occur. We notice an exception in the numerical calculation of soliton, gain the linear stability condition of the second order Leap-frog scheme constructed by Zabusky and Kruskal, and then draw the perturbed equation with the finite difference method. Also, we solve the symmetry group of the KdV equation with the knowledge of the invariance of Lie symmetry group and then discuss whether the perturbed equation and the conservation law keep the corresponding symmetry. The conservation law of KdV equation satisfies the scaling transformation, while the perturbed equation does not satisfy the Galilean invariance condition and the scaling invariance condition. It is demonstrated that the numerical simulation destroy some physical characteristics of the original KdV equation. The nonlinear instability in the calculation of solitons is related to the breaking of symmetry.

A Discontinuous Galerkin Method Based on a BGK Scheme for the Navier-Stokes Equations on Arbitrary Grids

A discontinuous Galerkin Method based on a Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) formulation is presented for the solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations on arbitrary grids. The idea behind this approach is to combine the robustness of the BGK scheme with the accuracy of the DG methods in an effort to develop a more accurate, efficient, and robust method for numerical simulations of viscous flows in a wide range of flow regimes. Unlike the traditional discontinuous Galerkin methods, where a Local Discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) formulation is usually used to discretize the viscous fluxes in the Navier-Stokes equations, this DG method uses a BGK scheme to compute the fluxes which not only couples the convective and dissipative terms together, but also includes both discontinuous and continuous representation in the flux evaluation at a cell interface through a simple hybrid gas distribution function. The developed method is used to compute a variety of viscous flow problems on arbitrary grids. The numerical results obtained by this BGKDG method are extremely promising and encouraging in terms of both accuracy and robustness, indicating its ability and potential to become not just a competitive but simply a superior approach than the current available numerical methods.
