Discrete exact solutions of modified Volterra and Volterra lattice equations via the new discrete sine-Gordon expansion algorithm

Recently, we have presented a sine-Gordon expansion method to construct new exact solutions of a wide of continuous nonlinear evolution equations. In this paper we further develop the method to be the discrete sine-Gordon expansion method in nonlinear differential-difference equations, in particular, discrete soliton equations. We choose the modified Volterra lattice and Volterra lattice equation to illustrate the new method such as many types of new exact solutions are obtained. Moreover some figures display the profiles of the obtained solutions. Our method can be also applied to other discrete soliton equations.     

A new algebraic procedure to construct exact solutions of nonlinear differential-difference equations

This paper presents a new algebraic procedure to construct exact solutions of selected nonlinear differential-difference equations. The discrete sine-Gordon equation and differential-difference asymmetric Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov equations are chosen as examples to illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the new procedure, where various types of exact travelling wave solutions for these nonlinear differential-difference equations have been constructed. It is anticipated that the new procedure can also be used to produce solutions for other nonlinear differential-difference equations.

Nonlinear sloshing and passage through resonance in a shallow water tank

This paper is concerned with the effect of slowly changing the length of a tank on the nonlinear standing waves (free vibrations) and resonant forced oscillations of shallow water in the tank. The analysis begins with the Boussinesq equations. These are reduced to a nonlinear differential-difference equation for the slow variation of a Riemann invariant on one end. Then a multiple scale expansion yields a KdV equation with slowly changing coefficients for the standing wave problem, which is reduced to a KdV equation with a variable dispersion coefficient. The effect of changing the tank length on the number of solitons in the tank is investigated through numerical solutions of the variable coefficient KdV equation. A KdV equation which is “periodically” forced and slowly detuned results for the passage through resonance problem. Then the amplitude-frequency curves for the fundamental resonance and the first overtone are given numerically, as well as solutions corresponding to multiple equilibria. The evolution between multiple equilibria is also examined.

Numerical solutions for some coupled nonlinear evolution equations by using spectral collocation method

In this paper, we introduce a spectral collocation method based on Lagrange polynomials for spatial derivatives to obtain numerical solutions for some coupled nonlinear evolution equations. The problem is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations that are solved by the fourth order Runge–Kutta method. Numerical results of coupled Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations, coupled modified KdV equations, coupled KdV system and Boussinesq system are obtained. The present results are in good agreement with the exact solutions. Moreover, the method can be applied to a wide class of coupled nonlinear evolution equations.     

A discrete generalization of the extended simplest equation method

We modified the so-called extended simplest equation method to obtain discrete traveling wave solutions for nonlinear differential-difference equations. The Wadati lattice equation is chosen to illustrate the method in detail. Further discrete soliton/periodic solutions with more arbitrary parameters, as well as discrete rational solutions, are revealed. We note that using our approach one can also find in principal highly accurate exact discrete solutions for other lattice equations arising in the applied sciences.

Nonlocal symmetries and recursion operators: Partial differential and differential-difference equations

A systematic method to derive the nonlocal symmetries for partial differential and differential-difference equations with two independent variables is presented and shown that the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and Burger's equations, Volterra and relativistic Toda (RT) lattice equations admit a sequence of nonlocal symmetries. An algorithm, exploiting the obtained nonlocal symmetries, is proposed to derive recursion operators involving nonlocal variables and illustrated it for the KdV and Burger's equations, Volterra and RT lattice equations and shown that the former three equations admit factorisable recursion operators while the RT lattice equation possesses (2×2) matrix factorisable recursion operator. The existence of nonlocal symmetries and the corresponding recursion operator of partial differential and differential-difference equations does not always determine their mathematical structures, for example, bi-Hamiltonian representation.

Discrete exact solutions to some nonlinear differential-difference equations via the (G′/G)-expansion method

We extended the (G′/G)-expansion method to two well-known nonlinear differential-difference equations, the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the Toda lattice equation, for constructing traveling wave solutions. Discrete soliton and periodic wave solutions with more arbitrary parameters, as well as discrete rational wave solutions, are revealed. It seems that the utilized method can provide highly accurate discrete exact solutions to NDDEs arising in applied mathematical and physical sciences.     

Mixed function method for obtaining exact solution of nonlinear differential-difference equations and coupled NDDEs

In this paper, we construct a new mixed function method for the first time. By using this new method, we study the two nonlinear differential-difference equations named the generalized Hybrid lattice and two-component Volterra lattice equations. Some new exact solutions of mixed function type such as discrete solitary wave solutions, discrete kink and anti-kink wave solutions and discrete breather solutions with kink and anti-kink character are obtained and their dynamic properties are also discussed. By using software Mathematica, we show their profiles.     

A hierarchy of differential-difference equations,conservation laws and new integrable coupling system

Starting from a discrete spectral problem with two arbitrary parameters, a hierarchy of nonlinear differential-difference equations is derived. The new hierarchy not only includes the original hierarchy, but also the well-known Toda equation and relativistic Toda equation. Moreover, infinitely many conservation laws for a representative discrete equation are given. Further, a new integrable coupling system of the resulting hierarchy is constructed.     

A family of integrable differential-difference equations and its Bargmann symmetry constraint

A family of integrable differential-difference equations is constructed through discrete zero curvature equation. The Hamiltonian structures of the resulting differential-difference equations are established by the discrete trace identity. The Bargmann symmetry constraint of the resulting family is presented. Under this symmetry constraint, every differential-difference equation in the resulting family is factored by an integrable symplectic map and a finite-dimensional integrable system in Liouville sense.     

Decomposition of a 2 + 1-dimensional Volterra type lattice and its quasi-periodic solutions

A 2 + 1-dimensional Volttera type lattice is proposed. Resorting to the nonlinearization of Lax pair, the 2 + 1-dimensional Volttera type lattice is decomposed into the known 1+1-dimensional differential-difference equations. The relation between a new 2 + 1-dimensional differential-difference equation, certain 1+1-dimensional continuous evolution equations and the known 1+1-dimensional differential-difference equations is discussed. Based on finite-order expansion of the Lax matrix, we introduce elliptic coordinates, from which the two 2 + 1-dimensional differential-difference equations are separated into solvable ordinary differential equations. The evolution of various flows is explicitly given through the Abel–Jacobi coordinates. Quasi-periodic solutions for the two 2 + 1-dimensional differential-difference equations are obtained.
