On soliton solutions for the Fitzhugh–Nagumo equation with time-dependent coefficients

We consider a generalized Fitzhugh–Nagumo equation exhibiting time-varying coefficients and linear dispersion term. By means of specific solitary wave ansatz and the tanh method, a new variety of soliton solutions are derived. The physical parameters in the soliton solutions are obtained as function of the time-dependent model coefficients. The conditions of existence and uniqueness of solitons are presented. These solutions may be useful to explain the nonlinear dynamics of waves in an inhomogeneous media that is described by the variable coefficients Fitzhugh–Nagumo equation. Clearly, adaptive methods are straightforward and concise and their applications for the Fitzhugh–Nagumo equation with t-dependent coefficients enable one to construct soliton-like solutions.     

Chebyshev solution of the nearly-singular one-dimensional Helmholtz equation and related singular perturbation equations: multiple scale series and the boundary layer rule-of-thumb

The one-dimensional Helmholtz equationε ² u _xx -u=f(x), arises in many applications, often as a component of three-dimensional fluids codes. Unfortunately, it is difficult to solve for ε»1 because the homogeneous solutions are exp (±x/ε), which have boundary layers of thickness O(1/ε). By analyzing the asymptotic Chebyshev coefficients of exponentials, we rederive the Orszag-Israeli rule [16] that $N \approx 3/\sqrt \varepsilon $ Chebyshev polynomials are needed to obtain an accuracy of 1% or better for the homogeneous solutions. (Interestingly, this is identical with the boundary layer rule-of-thumb in [5], which was derived for singular functions like tanh ([x?1]/ε).) Two strategies for small ε are described. The first is the method of multiple scales, which is very general, and applies to variable coefficient differential equations, too. The second, whenf(x) is a polynomial, is to compute an exact particular integral of the Helmholtz equation as apolynomial of the same degree in the form of a Chebyshev series by solving triangular pentadiagonal systems. This can be combined with the analytic homogeneous solutions to synthesize the general solution. However, the multiple scales method is more efficient than the Chebyshev algorithm when ε is very, very tiny.

A multiscale Galerkin method for the hypersingular integral equation reduced by the harmonic equation

The aim of this paper is to investigate the numerical solution of the hypersingular integral equation reduced by the harmonic equation. First, we transform the hypersingular integral equation into 2π-periodic hypersingular integral equation with the map x=cot(θ/2). Second, we initiate the study of the multiscale Galerkin method for the 2π-periodic hypersingular integral equation. The trigonometric wavelets are used as trial functions. Consequently, the 2j+1 × 2j+1 stiffness matrix Kj can be partitioned j×j block matrices. Furthermore, these block matrices are zeros except main diagonal block matrices. These main diagonal block matrices are symmetrical and circulant matrices, and hence the solution of the associated linear algebraic system can be solved with the fast Fourier transform and the inverse fast Fourier transform instead of the inverse matrix. Finally, we provide several numerical examples to demonstrate our method has good accuracy even though the exact solutions are multi-peak and almost singular.
