Traveling waves in a generalized nonlinear dispersive–dissipative equation

D. Zeidan In this paper, we consider the existence of traveling waves in a generalized nonlinear dispersive–dissipative equation, which is found in many areas of application including waves in a thermoconvective liquid layer and nonlinear electromagnetic waves. By using the theory of dynamical systems, specifically based on geometric singular perturbation theory and invariant manifold theory, Fredholm theory, and the linear chain trick, we construct a locally invariant manifold for the associated traveling wave equation and use this invariant manifold to obtain the traveling waves for the nonlinear dispersive–dissipative equation.

A geometric analysis of the Lagerstrom model problem

Lagerstrom's model problem is a classical singular perturbation problem which was introduced to illustrate the ideas and subtleties involved in the analysis of viscous flow past a solid at low Reynolds number by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. In this paper the corresponding boundary value problem is analyzed geometrically by using methods from the theory of dynamical systems, in particular invariant manifold theory. As an essential part of the dynamics takes place near a line of non-hyperbolic equilibria, a blow-up transformation is introduced to resolve these singularities. This approach leads to a constructive proof of existence and local uniqueness of solutions and to a better understanding of the singular perturbation nature of the problem. In particular, the source of the logarithmic switchback phenomenon is identified.     

Bifurcations and chaos in a nonlinear discrete time Cournot duopoly game

A nonlinear discrete time Cournot duopoly game is investigated in this paper. The conditions of existence for saddle-node bifurcation, transcritical bifurcation and flip bifurcation are derived using the center manifold theorem and the bifurcation theory. We prove that there exists chaotic behavior in the sense of Marotto＇s definition of chaos. The numerical simulations not only show the consistence with our theoretical analysis, but also exhibit the complex but interesting dynamical behaviors of the model. The computation of maximum Lyapunov exponents confirms the theoretical analysis of the dynamical behaviors of the system.     

Shadowing Pseudo-Orbits and Gradient Descent Noise Reduction

Shadowing trajectories are one of the most powerful ideas of modern dynamical systems theory, providing a tool for proving some central theorems and a means to assess the relevance of models and numerically computed trajectories of chaotic systems. Shadowing has also been seen to have a role in state estimation and forecasting of nonlinear systems. Shadowing trajectories are guaranteed to exist in hyperbolic systems, but this is not true of nonhyperbolic systems, indeed it can be shown there are systems that cannot have long shadowing trajectories. In this paper we consider what might be called shadowing pseudo-orbits. These are pseudo-orbits that remain close to a given pseudo-orbit, but have smaller mismatches between forecast state and verifying state. Shadowing pseudo-orbits play a useful role in the understanding and analysis of gradient descent noise reduction, state estimation, and forecasting nonlinear systems, because their existence can be ensured for a wide class of nonhyperbolic systems. New theoretical results are presented that extend classical shadowing theorems to shadowing pseudo-orbits. These new results provide some insight into the convergence behaviour of gradient descent noise reduction methods. The paper also discusses, in the light of the new results, some recent numerical results for an operational weather forecasting model when gradient descent noise reduction was employed.     

Bifurcations and highly nonlinear traveling waves in periodic dimer granular chains

In this study, the highly nonlinear waves in periodic dimer granular chains were investigated by the theory of dynamical system and the method of phase diagram analysis. The bifurcations of the different traveling waves in parameter space and those different traveling waves and its phase diagram were given. In addition, the existence of smooth and non‐smooth traveling wave solutions are shown and various sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the above solutions were listed.

Remarks on Barbashin-Ezeilo Problem on third-order nonlinear differential equations

In this paper, we use the frequency domain criteria to initiate a general result on the Barbashin-Ezeilo Problem on third-order nonlinear differential equation. Earlier ideas of Burkin [I.M.

Leonov, A frequency criterion for the existence of limit cycles of dynamical systems with cylindrical phase spaces, Differential Equations 23 (1987) 1375-1378] on the problem are being improved upon.     

Topological degree in analysis of canard-type trajectories in 3-D systems

Piecewise linear systems become increasingly important across a wide range of engineering applications spurring an interest in developing new mathematical models and methods of their analysis, or adapting methods of the theory of smooth dynamical systems. One such areas is the design of controllers which support the regimes of operation described by canard trajectories of the model, including applications to engineering chemical processes, flight control, electrical circuits design, and neural networks. In this article, we present a scenario which ensures the existence of a topologically stable periodic (cyclic) canard trajectory in slow-fast systems with a piecewise linear fast component. In order to reveal the geometrical structure responsible for the existence of the canard trajectory, we focus on a simple prototype piecewise linear nonlinearity. The analysis is based on application of the topological degree.

Under different parametric conditions, various sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the above solutions are given. Some explicit exact solution formulas are acquired for some special cases.     

Geometric framework for modeling nonlinear flows in porous media,and its applications in engineering

Our work is focused on certain theoretical aspects of non-linear non-Darcy flows in porous media, and their application in reservoir and hydraulic engineering. The goal of this paper is to develop a mathematically rigorous framework to study the dynamical processes associated to nonlinear Forchheimer flows for slightly compressible fluids. Using fundamental geometric methods, we have proved the existence of a nonlinear scaling operator which relates constant mean curvature surfaces and time invariant pressure distribution graphs constrained by the Darcy–Forchheimer law. The hereby obtained properties of fast flows and their geometric interpretation can be used as analytical tools to evaluate important technological parameters in reservoir engineering.
