The superposition method in seeking the solitary wave solutions to the KdV-Burgers equation

In this paper, starting from the careful analysis on the characteristics of the Burgers equation and the KdV equation as well as the KdV-Burgers equation, the superposition method is put forward for constructing the solitary wave solutions of the KdV-Burgers equation from those of the Burgers equation and the KdV equation. The solitary wave solutions for the KdV-Burgers equation are presented successfully by means of this method.     

Numerical solution of the spinor Bethe-Salpeter equation and the goldstein problem

The spinor Bethe-Salpeter equation describing bound states of a fermion-antifermion pair with massless-boson exchange reduces to a single (uncoupled) partial differential equation for special combinations of the fermion-boson couplings. For spinless bound states with positive or negative parity this equation is a generalization to nonvanishing bound-state masses of the equations studied by Kummer and Goldstein, respectively. In the tight-binding limit the Kummer equation has a discrete spectrum, in contrast to the Goldstein equation, while for loose binding only the generalized Goldstein equation has a nonrelativistic limit. For intermediate binding energies the equations are solved numerically. The generalized Kummer equation is shown to possess a discrete spectrum of coupling constants for all bound-state masses. For the generalized Goldstein equation a discrete spectrum of coupling constants is found only if the binding energy is smaller than a critical value.

Application of the complex point source method to the Schrödinger equation

The paraxial wave equation is a reduced form of the Helmholtz equation. Its solutions can be directly obtained from the solutions of the Helmholtz equation by using the method of complex point source. We applied the same logic to quantum mechanics, because the Schrödinger equation is parabolic in nature as the paraxial wave equation. We defined a differential equation, which is analogous to the Helmholtz equation for quantum mechanics and derived the solutions of the Schrödinger equation by taking into account the solutions of this equation with the method of complex point source. The method is applied to the problem of diffraction of matter waves by a shutter.     

On the Well-Posedness Problem and the Scattering Problem for the Dullin-Gottwald-Holm Equation

In this paper, we study the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem and the scattering problem for a new nonlinear dispersive shallow water wave equation (the so-called DGH equation) which was derived by Dullin, Gottwald and Holm. The issue of passing to the limit as the dispersive parameter tends to zero for the solution of the DGH equation is investigated, and the convergence of solutions to the DGH equation as ²0 is studied, and the scattering data of the scattering problem for the equation can be explicitly expressed; the new exact peaked solitary wave solutions are obtained in the DGH equation. After giving the condition of existing peakon in the DGH equation, it turns out to be nonlinearly stable for the peakon in the DGH equation.     

Remarks concerning the derivation and the expansion of the master equation

The present work consist of two parts: In the first part we apply the method of quasilinearization to the differential equation describing the time development of the quantum-mechanical probability density. In this way we derive the master equation without resorting to perturbation theory. In the second part of the paper, for a general form of the master equation which is an integro-differential equation, we test the accuracy of the Fokker-Planck approximation with the help of a solvable model. Then we study an alternative way of reducing the integro-differential equation to a partial differential equation. By expanding the transition probability W(q, q′), and the distribution function in terms of a complete set of functions, we show that for certain forms of W(q, q′), the master equation can be transformed exactly to partial differential equations of finite order.     

Fast sweeping method for the factored eikonal equation

We develop a fast sweeping method for the factored eikonal equation. By decomposing the solution of a general eikonal equation as the product of two factors: the first factor is the solution to a simple eikonal equation (such as distance) or a previously computed solution to an approximate eikonal equation. The second factor is a necessary modification/correction. Appropriate discretization and a fast sweeping strategy are designed for the equation of the correction part. The key idea is to enforce the causality of the original eikonal equation during the Gauss–Seidel iterations. Using extensive numerical examples we demonstrate that (1) the convergence behavior of the fast sweeping method for the factored eikonal equation is the same as for the original eikonal equation, i.e., the number of iterations for the Gauss–Seidel iterations is independent of the mesh size, (2) the numerical solution from the factored eikonal equation is more accurate than the numerical solution directly computed from the original eikonal equation, especially for point sources.     

On the numerical solution of the biharmonic equation in the plane

The biharmonic equation arises in a variety of problems in applied mathematics, most notably in plane elasticity and in viscous incompressible flow. Integral equation methods are natural candidates for the numerical solution of such problems, since they discritize the boundary alone, are easy to apply in the case of free or moving boundaries, and achieve superalgebraic convergence rates on sufficiently smooth domains, regardless of shape. In this paper, we follow the work of Mayo and Greenbaum and make use of the Sherman-Lauricella integral equation which is a Fredholm equation with bounded kernel. We describe a fast algorithm for the evaluation of the integral operators appearing in that equation. When combined with a conjugate gradient like algorithm, we are able to solve the discretized integral equation in an amount of time proportional to N, where N is the number of nodes in the discretization of the boundary.     

On the nonintegrability of the free surface hydrodynamics

The integrability of the compact 1D Zakharov equation has been analyzed. The numerical experiments show that the multiple collisions of breathers (which correspond to envelope solitons in the NLSE approximation) are not pure elastic. The amplitude of six-wave interactions for the compact 1D Zakharov equation has also been analyzed. It has been found that the six-wave amplitude is not canceled for this equation. Thus, the 1D Zakharov equation is not integrable.     

Exact solutions of the generalized Bretherton equation

The generalized Bretherton equation is studied. The Bäcklund transformations between traveling wave solutions of the generalized Bretherton equation and solutions of polynomial ordinary differential equation are constructed. The classification problem for meromorphic solutions of the latter equation is discussed. Several new families of exact solutions for the generalized Brethenton equation are given.     

On the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources

The modified discrete KP equation is the Bäcklund transformation for the Hirota’s discrete KP equation or the Hirota-Miwa equation. We construct the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources via source generation procedure and clarify the algebraic structure of the resulting coupled modified discrete KP system by presenting its discrete Gram-type determinant solutions. It is also shown that the commutativity between the source generation procedure and Bäcklund transformation is valid for the discrete KP equation. Finally, we demonstrate that the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources yields the modified differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources through a continuum limit. The continuum limit of an explicit solution to the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources also gives the explicit solution for the modified differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources.     

On the fluid-dynamical approximation to the Boltzmann equation at the level of the Navier-Stokes equation

The compressible and heat-conductive Navier-Stokes equation obtained as the second approximation of the formal Chapman-Enskog expansion is investigated on its relations to the original nonlinear Boltzmann equation and also to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. The solutions of the Boltzmann equation and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation for small initial data are proved to be asymptotically equivalent (mod decay ratet ^–5/4) ast+ to that of the compressible Navier-Stokes equation for the corresponding initial data.

New exact solutions of the dirac equation. XII

The search for exact solutions of the Dirac equation begun in [1] is continued. We find three new types of external electromagnetic fields where the Dirac equation, Klein-Gordon equation, and classical Lorentz equation can be solved exactly. We find fields for which explicit solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation can be found but for which explicit solutions of the Dirac equation cannot.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 81–86, January, 1985.     

On the relationship between continuous time random walks and the non-equilibrium Ornstein-Zernike equation

An exact non-equilibrium Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation is derived for lattice fluid systems whose time development is given by a generalized master equation. The derivation is based on a generalization of the Montroll-Weiss continuous-time random walk on a lattice, and on their relationship with master equation solutions. Time dependent direct and total correlation functions are defined in terms of the generating functions for the probability densities of the random walker, such that, in the infinite time limit the equilibrium OZ equation is recovered. A perturbative analysis of the time dependent OZ equation is shown to be formally analogous to the perturbation of the Bloch equation in quantum field theory. Analytic results are obtained, under the mean spherical approximation, for the time dependent total correlation function for a one-dimensional lattice fluid with exponential attraction.     

A note on the prolongation structure of the cubically nonlinear integrable Camassa-Holm type equation

In this Letter, we formulate an exterior differential system for the newly discovered cubically nonlinear integrable Camassa-Holm type equation. From the exterior differential system we establish the integrability of this equation. We then study Cartan prolongation structure of this equation. We also discuss the method of identifying conservation laws and Bäcklund transformation for this equation from the identified exterior differential system.     

Time-dependent equation for the intensity in the diffusion limit using a higher-order angular expansion

The first two terms in the spherical-harmonic expansion (the P(1) approximation) of the radiative transfer equation yield the diffusion equation. This approximation applies to multiple scattering and results in a solution for the energy density, the gradient of which is proportional to the light intensity. In this work a higher-order spherical-harmonic expansion of the radiative transfer equation is developed. This equation applies to the radiant intensity rather than the energy density. The equation can be decomposed into two terms: a propagator term obtained from the determinant of the coupled equations describing the individual components of the intensity, and a mixing matrix that describes the cross coupling between different orders of the expansion. Using the Fourier transform, an approximation based on expanding at small wave vectors k leads to an equation similar to the diffusion equation. The equation is expected to predict the intensity for multiple scattering at earlier times and shorter distances than the diffusion equation can. The notion of an equivalent wave field is introduced.
