Regular black holes in quadratic gravity

The first-order correction of the perturbative solution of the coupled equations of the quadratic gravity and nonlinear electrodynamics is constructed, with the zeroth-order solution coinciding with the ones given by Ayón-Beato and Garcí a and by Bronnikov. It is shown that a simple generalization of the Bronnikov's electromagnetic Lagrangian leads to the solution expressible in terms of the polylogarithm functions. The solution is parametrized by two integration constants and depends on two free parameters. By the boundary conditions the integration constants are related to the charge and total mass of the system as seen by a distant observer, whereas the free parameters are adjusted to make the resultant line element regular at the center. It is argued that various curvature invariants are also regular there that strongly suggests the regularity of the spacetime. Despite the complexity of the problem the obtained solution can be studied analytically. The location of the event horizon of the black hole, its asymptotics and temperature are calculated. Special emphasis is put on the extremal configuration.     

On static spherically symmetric solutions of the vacuum Brans-Dicke theory

It is shown that among the four classes of the static spherically symmetric solutions of the vacuum Brans-Dicke theory of gravity only two are really independent. Further, by matching exterior and interior (due to physically reasonable spherically symmetric matter source) scalar fields it is found that only the Brans class I solution with a certain restriction on the solution parameters may represent an exterior metric for a nonsingular massive object. The physical viability of the black hole nature of the solution is investigated. It is concluded that no physical black hole solution different from the Schwarzschild black hole is available in the Brans-Dicke theory.     

Lie Point Symmetries and Exact Solutions of Couple KdV Equations

The simple Lie point symmetry reduction procedure is used to obtain infinitely many symmetries to a new integrable system of coupled KdV equations. Using some symmetry subalgebra of the equations, five types of the significant similarity reductions are obtained by virtue of the Lie group approach, and obtain abundant solutions of the coupled KdV equations, such as the solitary wave solution, exponential solution, rational solution, polynomial solution, etc.     

High-Order Lump-Type Solutions and Their Interaction Solutions to a (3+1)-Dimensional Nonlinear Evolution Equation *

By means of the Hirota bilinear method and symbolic computation, high-order lump-type solutions and a kind of interaction solutions are presented for a (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation. The high-order lump-type solutions of the associated Hirota bilinear equation are presented, which is a kind of positive quartic-quadratic-function solution. At the same time, the interaction solutions can also be obtained, which are linear combination solutions of quartic-quadratic-functions and hyperbolic cosine functions. Physical properties and dynamical structures of two classes of the presented solutions are demonstrated in detail by their graphs.      

The spacetime of a Dirac fermion

We present an approximate solution to the minimally coupled Einstein-Dirac equations. We interpret the solution as describing a massive fermion coexisting with its own gravitational field. The solution is axisymmetric but is time dependent. The metric approaches that of a flat spacetime at the spatial infinity. We have calculated a variety of conserved quantities in the system.     

X-Ray diffraction investigations of concentrated aqueous solutions of calcium halides

Concentrated aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and calcium bromide have been investigated by X-ray diffraction. In the diffraction patterns of aqueous chloride solutions of different concentrations, a maximum of intensity is observed in the region 0.6–1.1 Å⁻¹, while in the investigated aqueous bromide solution no maximum is observed in that region. This pre-peak suggests the existence of positional correlations in solution beyond direct contact. The interpretation is similar to the one proposed by the authors in previous investigations, and is supported by the calculations based on ad hoc molecular models. The influence of the anion is discussed.     

Lie symmetry analysis and reduction of a new integrable coupled KdV system

In this paper, Lie symmetry is investigated for a new integrable coupled Korteweg--de Vries (KdV) equation system. Using some symmetry subalgebra of the equation system, we obtain five types of the significant similarity reductions. Abundant solutions of the coupled KdV equation system, such as the solitary wave solution, exponential solution, rational solution and polynomial solution, etc. are obtained from the reduced equations. Especially, one type of group-invariant solution of reduced equations can be acquired by means of the Painlev\'e I transcendent function.     

A generalized Heckmann–Schucking cosmological solution in the presence of a negative cosmological constant

An exact solution of the Einstein equations for a Bianchi-I universe in the presence of dust, stiff matter and a negative cosmological constant, generalising the well-known Heckmann–Schucking solution is presented. This solution describes a universe existing during a finite period of cosmic time, where the beginning and the end of its evolution are characterized by the presence of Kasner type cosmological singularities.     

A note on a class of solitary-like solutions of the Tzitzéica equation generated by a similarity reduction

In this paper, new class of solutions of the Tzitzéica equation are derived by using the classical Lie symmetry analysis. The important aspect of this paper however is the fact that the analysis results in a new class of solitary-like solutions, the so-called cusp-solitary solutions.

This special type of solutions are not found in the current literature and represents a necessary contribution for the whole solution manifold. The studied equation was originally found in the field of geometry, otherwise the Tzitzéica equation takes place in many branches of non-linear sciences. Therefore, explicit class of solutions connected by a physical meaning are of great importance. The analysis is restricted to the case of traveling waves represented by a similarity variable describing any wave propagation. A complete characterization of the group properties is given. The classical Lie point symmetries are derived and algebraic properties are determined. Similarity solutions and transformations are given in a most general form and have been derived for the first time in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions. It is worth to mention that the application of known powerful algebraic methods (e.g. special function transform methods) are not appropriate to study the solution manifold. Hence, the present paper is therefore suitable to create a deeper insight into the solution manifold with respect to the traveling wave picture.     

Analysis on lump,lumpoff and rogue waves with predictability to the (2 + 1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

In this work, we investigate the ($2+1$)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (BKP) equation, which can be used to describe weakly dispersive waves propagating in the quasi media and fluid mechanics. We construct the more general lump solutions, localized in all directions in space, with more arbitrary autocephalous parameters. By considering a stripe soliton generated completely by lump solution, a lumpoff solution is presented. Its lump part is cut by soliton part before or after a specific time, with a specific divergence relationship. Furthermore, combining a pair of stripe solitons, we obtain the special rogue waves when lump solution is cut by double solitons. Our results show that the emerging time and place of the rogue waves can be caught through tracking the moving path of lump solution, and confirming when and where it happens a collision with the visible soliton. Finally, some graphic analysis are discussed to understand the propagation phenomena of these solutions.     

Rigidly Rotating Dust in General Relativity

A solution to the Einstein field equations that represents a rigidly rotating dust accompanied by a thin matter shell of the same type is found.     

A new algorithm for anisotropic solutions

We establish a new algorithm that generates a new solution to the Einstein field equations, with an anisotropic matter distribution, from a seed isotropic solution. The new solution is expressed in terms of integrals of an isotropic gravitational potential; and the integration can be completed exactly for particular isotropic seed metrics. A good feature of our approach is that the anisotropic solutions necessarily have an isotropic limit. We find two examples of anisotropic solutions which generalise the isothermal sphere and the Schwarzschild interior sphere. Both examples are expressed in closed form involving elementary functions only.     

Soliton,breather, and rogue wave solutions for solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation using a deep learning method with physical constraints

The nonlinear Schro¨dinger equation is a classical integrable equation which contains plenty of significant properties and occurs in many physical areas.However,due to the difficulty of solving this equation,in particular in high dimensions,lots of methods are proposed to effectively obtain different kinds of solutions,such as neural networks among others.Recently,a method where some underlying physical laws are embeded into a conventional neural network is proposed to uncover the equation’s dynamical behaviors from spatiotemporal data directly.Compared with traditional neural networks,this method can obtain remarkably accurate solution with extraordinarily less data.Meanwhile,this method also provides a better physical explanation and generalization.In this paper,based on the above method,we present an improved deep learning method to recover the soliton solutions,breather solution,and rogue wave solutions of the nonlinear Schro¨dinger equation.In particular,the dynamical behaviors and error analysis about the one-order and two-order rogue waves of nonlinear integrable equations are revealed by the deep neural network with physical constraints for the first time.Moreover,the effects of different numbers of initial points sampled,collocation points sampled,network layers,neurons per hidden layer on the one-order rogue wave dynamics of this equation have been considered with the help of the control variable way under the same initial and boundary conditions.Numerical experiments show that the dynamical behaviors of soliton solutions,breather solution,and rogue wave solutions of the integrable nonlinear Schro¨dinger equation can be well reconstructed by utilizing this physically-constrained deep learning method.     

Study on an extended Boussinesq equation

An extended Boussinesq equation that models weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive waves on a uniform layer of water is studied in this paper. The results show that the equation is not Painlev\'e-integrable in general. Some particular exact travelling wave solutions are obtained by using a function expansion method. An approximate solitary wave solution with physical significance is obtained by using a perturbation method. We find that the extended Boussinesq equation with a depth parameter of $1/\sqrt 2$ is able to match the Laitone's (1960) second order solitary wave solution of the Euler equations.     

A Boundary Meshless Method for Solving Heat Transfer Problems Using the Fourier Transform

Fourier transform is applied to remove the time-dependent variable in the diffusion equation. Under non-harmonic initial conditions this gives rise to a non-homogeneous Helmholtz equation, which is solved by the method of fundamental solutions and the method of particular solutions. The particular solution of Helmholtz equation is available as shown in [4, 15]. The approximate solution in frequency domain is then inverted numerically using the inverse Fourier transform algorithm. Complex frequencies are used in order to avoid aliasing phenomena and to allow the computation of the static response. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for solving 2-D diffusion equations.     

A source of a quasi-spherical space–time: The case for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>–<Emphasis Type="Italic">Q</Emphasis> solution

We present a physically reasonable source for an static, axially-symmetric solution to the Einstein equations. Arguments are provided, supporting our belief that the exterior space-time produced by such source, describing a quadrupole correction to the Schwarzschild metric, is particularly suitable (among known solutions of the Weyl family) for discussing the properties of quasi-spherical gravitational fields.     

General solutions of plane elasticity of one-dimensional orthorhombic quasicrystals with piezoelectric effect

By introducing four potential functions, the governing equations of plane problems in 1D orthorhombic quasicrystals with piezoelectric effect are composed of four second-order partial differential equations, in which the quasi-harmonic functions are the essential unknowns. The general solution of these equations is further established, and all expressions are expressed in terms of the potential functions. As an application of the general solution, the closed-form solutions are obtained for wedge problems or half-plane problems of 1D orthorhombic piezoelectric quasicrystals.     

Self-Similar Solutions of the Boltzmann Equation and Their Applications

We consider a class of solutions of the Boltzmann equation with infinite energy. Using the Fourier-transformed Boltzmann equation, we prove the existence of a wide class of solutions of this kind. They fall into subclasses, labelled by a parameter a, and are shown to be asymptotic (in a very precise sense) to the self-similar one with the same value of a (and the same mass). Specializing to the case of a Maxwell-isotropic cross section, we give evidence to the effect that the only self-similar closed form solutions are the BKW mode and the two solutions recently found by the authors. All the self-similar solutions discussed in this paper are eternal, i.e., they exist for –<t<, which shows that a recent conjecture cannot be extended to solutions with infinite energy. Eternal solutions with finite moments of all orders, and different from a Maxwellian, are also studied. It is shown that these solutions cannot be positive. Moreover all such solutions (partly negative) must be asymptotically (for large negative times) close to the exact eternal solution of BKW type.     

Morphology control of KDP crystallites

The actual crystal morphology is synergistically determined by atomic interactions between the crystal surface, growth units and additives in the mother solution. Our present results microscopically show that the ideal crystal morphology is greatly determined by intrinsic characteristics such as the bond number, direction and strength in the crystallographic frame, while ethanol molecules in the mother solution can intensively affect the crystal size and aspect ratio of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP). Some quantitative analyses concerning the addition of ethanol to the KDP solution are also described.
