A perturbation theory for the Korteweg-De Vries equation

By writing the perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation (1) in operator form (2), we derive equations which are a basis for a perturbation method. In particular, in the first approximation, we obtain from them equations describing the evolution of the soliton amplitude and velocity. The present theory may be extended, also, to other nonlinear evolution equations if they are solved, without perturbation, by the inverse-problem method.     

From the Perron-Frobenius equation to the Fokker-Planck equation

We show that for certain classes of deterministic dynamical systems the Perron-Frobenius equation reduces to the Fokker-Planck equation in an appropriate scaling limit. By perturbative expansion in a small time scale parameter, we also derive the equations that are obeyed by the first- and second-order correction terms to the Fokker-Planck limit case. In general, these equations describe non-Gaussian corrections to a Langevin dynamics due to an underlying deterministic chaotic dynamics. For double-symmetric maps, the first-order correction term turns out to satisfy a kind of inhomogeneous Fokker-Planck equation with a source term. For a special example, we are able solve the first- and second-order equations explicitly.     

Darboux transformation and positons of the inhomogeneous Hirota and the Maxwell-Bloch equation

In this paper,we derive Darboux transformation of the inhomogeneous Hirota and the Maxwell-Bloch(IH-MB)equations which are governed by femtosecond pulse propagation through inhomogeneous doped fibre.The determinant representation of Darboux transformation is used to derive soliton solutions,positon solutions to the IH-MB equations.     

Comparative studies of open qubit via Bloch equation and master equation of Redfield form

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of an open qubit model by solving two sets of its reduced dynamical equations. One set of the equations is the well-known Bloch equations and the other is the widely investigated master equations of Redfield form. Both of them are obtained from the perturbation approximation which demands the system of interest weakly coupled to its environment. It is shown that the qubit has a longer decoherence and relaxiation time as the dynamics is described by the Redfield equantions.     

Residual symmetries of the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation and its localization

The residual symmetries of the famous modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation are researched in this paper. The initial problem on the residual symmetry of the mKdV equation is researched. The residual symmetries for the mKdV equation are proved to be nonlocal and the nonlocal residual symmetries are extended to the local Lie point symmetries by means of enlarging the mKdV equations. One-parameter invariant subgroups and the invariant solutions for the extended system are listed. Eight types of similarity solutions and the reduction equations are demonstrated. It is noted that we researched the twofold residual symmetries by means of taking the mKdV equation as an example. Similarity solutions and the reduction equations are demonstrated for the extended mKdV equations related to the twofold residual symmetries.     

Similarity solutions of the Euler equation and the Navier-Stokes equation in two space dimensions

With the help of the continuous symmetries of the Euler equations and the Navier-Stokes equations, respectively, we derive similarity solutions of these equations for two space dimensions. We show that all group theoretical reductions lead to linear nonautonomous or linear autonomous ordinary differential equations for incompressible fluids.     

WDVV equation and triple-product relation

We study the relation between the WDVV equations and the τ-function of the noncommutative KP (NCKP) hierarchy. WDVV-like equations (Hirota triple-product relation) in the noncommutative context appear as a consequence of the nontrivial equation for τ-function of the NC KP hierarchy, while the prepotential in the Seiberg–Witten (SW) theory has been identified to the τ-function of the Whitham hierarchy. We show that the spectral curve for the SW theory is the same as the Toda-chain hierarchy. We also show explicitly that Whitham hierarchy includes commutative Toda/KP hierarchy. Further, we comment on the origin of the Hirota triple-product relation in the context of the SW theory.     

A highly accurate method to solve Fisher’s equation

In this study, we present a new and very accurate numerical method to approximate the Fisher’s-type equations. Firstly, the spatial derivative in the proposed equation is approximated by a sixth-order compact finite difference (CFD6) scheme. Secondly, we solve the obtained system of differential equations using a third-order total variation diminishing Runge–Kutta (TVD-RK3) scheme. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.     

Anti-self-dual gravitational metrics determined by the modified heavenly equation

In paper Doubrov and Ferapontov (2010) on the classification of integrable complex Monge–Ampère equations, the modified heavenly (MH) equation of Dubrov and Ferapontov is one of canonical equations. It is well known that solutions of the first and second heavenly equations of Plebañski (1975) and those of the Husain equation in Husain (1994) provide potentials for anti-self-dual (ASD) Ricci-flat vacuum metrics. For another canonical equation, the general heavenly equation of Dubrov and Ferapontov (2010), we had constructed in Malykh and Sheftel (2011) ASD Ricci-flat metric governed by this equation. Thus, the modified heavenly equation remains the only one in the list of canonical equations in Doubrov and Ferapontov (2010) for which such a metric is missing so far. Our aim here is to construct null tetrad of vector fields, coframe 1-forms and ASD Ricci-flat metric for the latter equation. We study reality conditions and signature for the resulting metric. As an example, we obtain a multi-parameter cubic solution of the MH equation which yields a family of metrics with the above properties. Riemann curvature 2-forms are also explicitly presented for the cubic solution.     

New amplitude equation of single—mode laser

The white-gain model and the white-loss model of a single-mode laser are investigated in the presence of cross-correlations between the real and imaginary parts of quantum noise as well as pump noise. It was found that, like the white cubic model (2001 Chin. Phys. Lett. 18 370), the amplitude equations are all decoupled from the phase equations for the two models, and the same novel term appears in the amplitude equations of the two models. So we can put the amplitude equations of all the models into a general form, that is, the new amplitude equation. We further use this new amplitude equation to study specifically the stationary properties of the laser intensity for the white-gain model.

Finite difference methods for two-dimensional fractional dispersion equation

Fractional order partial differential equations, as generalizations of classical integer order partial differential equations, are increasingly used to model problems in fluid flow, finance and other areas of application. In this paper we discuss a practical alternating directions implicit method to solve a class of two-dimensional initial-boundary value fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients on a finite domain. First-order consistency, unconditional stability, and (therefore) first-order convergence of the method are proven using a novel shifted version of the classical Grünwald finite difference approximation for the fractional derivatives. A numerical example with known exact solution is also presented, and the behavior of the error is examined to verify the order of convergence.     

Consistent Riccati expansion solvable classification and soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solutions for an extended Korteweg-de Vries equation

In this paper, we consider an extended Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Using the consistent Riccati expansion (CRE) method of Lou, the extended KdV equation is proved to be CRE solvable in only two distinct cases. These two CRE solvable models are the KdV-Lax and KdV-Sawada-Kotera (KdV-SK) equations. In addition, applying the nonauto-Bäcklund transformations which are provided by the CRE method, we present the explicit construction for soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solutions which represent a soliton propagating on a cnoidal periodic wave background in the KdV-Lax and KdV-SK equations, respectively.     

Evidence for the anomalous scaling behaviour of the molecular-beam epitaxy growth equation

According to the scaling idea of local slope, we investigate numerically and analytically anomalous dynamic scaling behaviour of (1+1)-dimensional growth equation for molecular-beam epitaxy. The growth model includes the linear molecular-beam epitaxy (LMBE) and the nonlinear Lai--Das Sarma--Villain (LDV) equations. The anomalous scaling exponents in both the LMBE and the LDV equations are obtained, respectively. Numerical results are consistent with the corresponding analytical predictions.     

Theory of rate constants: Master equation approach

Starting from the master equations we derive the kinetic equations for the concentrations of chemical species. Both adiabatic and nonadiabatic rate processes are analyzed. In limiting cases, the results of the work conform to those of Widom⁽⁹⁾ and Gibbs, Fleming, and co-workers.^(4,5)     

Stochastic Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

The example of Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations with a random time-dependent force (stochastic Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations) is used to show that the theory of Brownian particle motion can be applied to the theory of the stochastic behavior of solitons of model hydrodynamic equations which are completely integrable in the absence of forces and interrelated by the generalized Galilean transformation. The Brownian motion of two-dimensional algebraic solitons of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations with positive dispersion leads to their diffusion broadening similar to the broadening of one-dimensional solitons of other fully integrable hydrodynamic equations. However, for longer times the rate of decay of algebraic solitons is higher because of the degeneracy of the momentum integral for these solitons. The behavior of a periodic chain of algebraic solitons is established under the action of a random force. Tilted plane solitons of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations with negative dispersion vary under the action of a random force similar to the solitons of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Several of these solitons interact via “virtual solitons” and generate new solitons provided that resonance conditions are satisfied whose dimensions increase as a result of the influence of the random force.     

Invariantization of the Crank-Nicolson method for Burgers’ equation

In this article, a geometric technique to construct numerical schemes for partial differential equations (PDEs) that inherit Lie symmetries is proposed. The moving frame method enables one to adjust the numerical schemes in a geometric manner and systematically construct proper invariant versions of them. To illustrate the method, we study invariantization of the Crank-Nicolson scheme for Burgers’ equation. With careful choice of normalization equations, the invariantized schemes are shown to surpass the standard scheme, successfully removing numerical oscillation around sharp transition layers.     

An eighth-order KdV-type equation in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions: multiple soliton solutions

In this work we study an eighth-order KdV-type equations in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions. The new equations are derived from the KdV6 hierarchy. We show that these equations give multiple soliton solutions the same as the multiple soliton solutions of the KdV6 hierarchy except for the dispersion relations.     

Structure equation and Mei conserved quantity for Mei symmetry of Appell equation

This paper investigates structure equation and Mei conserved quantity of Mei symmetry of Appell equations for non-Chetaev nonholonomic systems. Appell equations and differential equations of motion for non-Chetaev nonholonomic mechanical systems are established. A new expression of the total derivative of the function with respect to time t along the trajectory of a curve of the system is obtained, the definition and the criterion of Mei symmetry of Appell equations under the infinitesimal transformations of groups are also given. The expressions of the structure equation and the Mei conserved quantity of Mei symmetry in the Appell function are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
