Exact and traveling-wave solutions for convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power-law nonlinearity

Based on the simplest equation method, we propose exact and traveling-wave solutions for a nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power law nonlinearity. Such equation can be considered as a generalization of the Fisher equation and other well-known convection-diffusion-reaction equations. Two important cases are considered. The case of density-independent diffusion and the case of density-dependent diffusion. When the parameters of the equation are constant, the Bernoulli equation is used as the simplest equation. This leads to new traveling-wave solutions. Moreover, some wavefront solutions can be derived from the traveling-wave ones. The case of time-dependent velocity in the convection term is studied also. We derive exact solutions of the equations by using the Riccati equation as simplest equation. The exact and traveling-wave solutions presented in this paper can be used to explain many biological and physical phenomena.     

Biorthogonal sequences of solutions of the generalized feller equation

The generalized Feller equation is a linear, autonomous, parabolic equation of a positive space variable and a time variable. Its coefficients are power functions of the space variable, and they depend on four parameters. In general, the equation is singular at the origin and at infinity. It contains as special cases the special Feller equation, the Kepinski equation, and the standard heat equation. The main objective of the present paper is to establish series expansions of solutions of the generalized Feller equation in terms of the elements of two sequences of particular solutions. The elements of one of these sequences are particular initial condition solutions. The two sequences are biorthogonal. The main result is that a solution does have the desired expansion property if and only if it has the Huygens property in some neighborhood of the origin of the time variable.     

Explicit Complex-Valued Solutions of the Korteweg–de Vries Equation on the Half-Line and on the Whole-Line

The paper deals with the initial-value problems for the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations on the half-line and on the whole-line for complex-valued measurable and exponentially decreasing potentials. The time evolution equation for the reflection coefficient is derived and then a one-to-one correspondence between the scattering data and the solution of the KdV equation is shown. Families of exact solutions of the KdV equation are represented for the class of reflection-free potentials, in which the inverse scattering problem associated with the KdV equation can be solved exactly. Some helpful examples of soliton solutions of the KdV equation are provided.     

Weakly Nonlinear Internal Waves in Shear

An evolution equation in a finite depth fluid for weakly nonlinear long internal waves is derived in a stratified and sheared medium. The equation reduces to the Korteweg-deVries equation when the depth is small compared to the wavelength, and to the Benjamin-Ono equation when the depth is large compared to the wavelength. Both the cases with and without critical levels are investigated. Numerical solutions to the evolution equation are presented to illustrate the effect of shear on the evolution of a waveform.     

Nonlinear Mathieu equation and coupled resonance mechanism

The method of multiple-scales is used to determine a third-order solution for a cubic nonlinear Mathieu equation. The perturbation solutions are imposed on the so-called solvability conditions. Solvability conditions in the non-resonance case yield the standard Landau equation. Several types of a parametric Landau equation are derived in the neighborhood of five different resonance cases. These parametric Landau equations contain a parametric complex conjugate term or a parametric second-order complex conjugate term or a parametric complex conjugate term as well as a parametric second-order term. Necessary and sufficient conditions for stability are performed in each resonance case. Stability criteria correspond to each parametric Landau equation and are derived by linear perturbation. Stability criteria for the non-trivial steady-state response are discussed. The analysis leads to simultaneous resonance. Transition curves are performed in each case. Numerical calculations are made for some transition curves to illustrate the coupled resonance regions, where the induced stability tongues within the instability tongues are observed. The amplitude of the periodic coefficient of Mathieu equation plays a dual role in the stability criteria for nonlinear Mathieu equation.     

A Taylor expansion approach for solving partial differential equations with random Neumann boundary conditions

Nonlinear partial differential equation with random Neumann boundary conditions are considered. A stochastic Taylor expansion method is derived to simulate these stochastic systems numerically. As examples, a nonlinear parabolic equation (the real Ginzburg-Landau equation) and a nonlinear hyperbolic equation (the sine-Gordon equation) with random Neumann boundary conditions are solved numerically using a stochastic Taylor expansion method. The impact of boundary noise on the system evolution is also discussed.     

The Beverton–Holt dynamic equation

The Cushing–Henson conjectures on time scales are presented and verified. The central part of these conjectures asserts that based on a model using the dynamic Beverton–Holt equation, a periodic environment is deleterious for the population. The proof technique is as follows. First, the Beverton–Holt equation is identified as a logistic dynamic equation. The usual substitution transforms this equation into a linear equation. Then the proof is completed using a recently established dynamic version of the generalized Jensen inequality.

And the numerical experiments on solitary waves are also given. Comparing the numerical results for RLW equation with those for KdV equation, the inelastic behavior of RLW equation is shown.     

Asymptotic behavior and oscillation of functional differential equations

Asymptotic relations between the solutions of a linear autonomous functional differential equation and the solutions of the corresponding perturbed equation are established. In the scalar case, it is shown that the existence of a nonoscillatory solution of the perturbed equation often implies the existence of a real eigenvalue of the limiting equation. The proofs are based on a recent Perron type theorem for functional differential equations.     

Conservation Laws For the (1+2)-Dimensional Wave Equation in Biological Environment

The derivation of conservation laws for the wave equation on sphere, cone and flat space is considered. The partial Noether approach is applied for wave equation on curved surfaces in terms of the coefficients of the first fundamental form (FFF) and the partial Noether operator's determining equations are derived. These determining equations are then used to construct the partial Noether operators and conserved vectors for the wave equation on different surfaces. The conserved vectors for the wave equation on the sphere, cone and flat space are simplified using the Lie point symmetry generators of the equation and conserved vectors with the help of the symmetry conservation laws relation.     

Critical state of a thin-walled beam under combined load

Subject of the paper is a simply supported thin-walled beam. The beam carries uniformly distributed transverse load, small axial force and two different moments located at its both ends. The elastic potential energy and the work of the loads for the beam are described. Basing on the minimum of the total potential energy the general algebraic equation of the critical state for the beam is obtained. The equation describes a convex hyper-surface. Particularly simply load cases are studied. Based on the general equation of the critical state numerical investigations are realized. The results are shown in figures.

Numerical approach for solving fractional relaxation–oscillation equation

In this study, we will obtain the approximate solutions of relaxation–oscillation equation by developing the Taylor matrix method. A relaxation oscillator is a kind of oscillator based on a behavior of physical system’s return to equilibrium after being disturbed. The relaxation–oscillation equation is the primary equation of relaxation and oscillation processes. The relaxation–oscillation equation is a fractional differential equation with initial conditions. For this propose, generalized Taylor matrix method is introduced. This method is based on first taking the truncated fractional Taylor expansions of the functions in the relaxation–oscillation equation and then substituting their matrix forms into the equation. Hence, the result matrix equation can be solved and the unknown fractional Taylor coefficients can be found approximately. The reliability and efficiency of the proposed approach are demonstrated in the numerical examples with aid of symbolic algebra program, Maple.

The Cauchy problem for ut=Δu+|∇u|q,large-time behaviour

The nonlinear partial differential equation in the title is typified mathematically as a viscous Hamilton–Jacobi equation. It arises in the study of the growth of surfaces, and in that context is known as the generalized deterministic KPZ equation. Considering the Cauchy problem with initial data that are merely supposed to be bounded and continuous, results on the temporal decay and large-time behaviour of solutions are presented. Corresponding results for the heat equation serve as benchmarks.     

Stabilization by Slow Diffusion in a Real Ginzburg-Landau System

The Ginzburg-Landau equation is essential for understanding the dynamics of patterns in a wide variety of physical contexts. It governs the evolution of small amplitude instabilities near criticality. It is well known that the (cubic) Ginzburg-Landau equation has various unstable solitary pulse solutions. However, such localized patterns have been observed in systems in which there are two competing instability mechanisms. In such systems, the evolution of instabilities is described by a Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled to a diffusion equation. In this article we study the influence of this additional diffusion equation on the pulse solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equation in light of recently developed insights into the effects of slow diffusion on the stability of pulses. Therefore, we consider the limit case of slow diffusion, i.e., the situation in which the additional diffusion equation acts on a long spatial scale. We show that the solitary pulse solution of the Ginzburg-Landau equation persists under this coupling. We use the Evans function method to analyze the effect of the slow diffusion and to show that it acts as a control mechanism that influences the (in)stability of the pulse. We establish that this control mechanism can indeed stabilize a pulse when higher order nonlinearities are taken into account.     

Analysis of the time fractional nonlinear diffusion equation from diffusion process

Under investigation in this paper is a time fractional nonlinear diffusion equation which can be utilized to express various diffusion processes. The symmetry of this considered equation has been obtained via fractional Lie group approach with the sense of Riemann-Liouville (R-L) fractional derivative. Based on the symmetry, this equation can be changed into an ordinary differential equation of fractional order. Moreover, some new invariant solutions of this considered equation are found. Lastly, utilising the Noether theorem and the general form of Noether type theorem, the conservation laws are yielded to the time fractional nonlinear diffusion equation, respectively. Our discovery that there are no conservation laws under the general form of Noether type theorem case. This result tells us the symmetry of this equation is not variational symmetry of the considered functional. These rich results can give us more information to interpret this equation.
