Average vector field methods for the coupled Schr/idinger-KdV equations

The energy preserving average vector field （AVF） method is applied to the coupled Schr6dinger-KdV equations. Two energy preserving schemes are constructed by using Fourier pseudospectral method in space direction discretization. In order to accelerate our simulation, the split-step technique is used. The numerical experiments show that the non-splitting scheme and splitting scheme are both effective, and have excellent long time numerical behavior. The comparisons show that the splitting scheme is faster than the non-splitting scheme, but it is not as good as the non-splitting scheme in preserving the invariants.     

An element-free Galerkin （EFG） method for numerical solution of the coupled Schrodinger-KdV equations

The present paper deals with the numerical solution of the coupled Schrodinger-KdV equations using the elementfree Galerkin （EFG） method which is based on the moving least-square approximation. Instead of traditional mesh oriented methods such as the finite difference method （FDM） and the finite element method （FEM）, this method needs only scattered nodes in the domain. For this scheme, a variational method is used to obtain discrete equations and the essential boundary conditions are enforced by the penalty method. In numerical experiments, the results are presented and compared with the findings of the finite element method, the radial basis functions method, and an analytical solution to confirm the good accuracy of the presented scheme.     

Theory of phonon-modulated electron spin relaxation time based on the projection reduction method

This paper introduces a new method for a formula for electron spin relaxation time of a system of electrons interacting with phonons through phonon-modulated spin-orbit coupling using the projection-reduction method. The phonon absorption and emission processes as well as the photon absorption and emission processes in all electron transition processes can be explained in an organized manner, and the result can be represented in a diagram that can provide intuition for the quantum dynamics of electrons in a solid. The temperature （T） dependence of electron spin relaxation times （T1） in silicon is T1 ∝ T-1.07 at low temperatures and T1 ∝ T-3.3 at high temperatures for acoustic deformation constant Pad = 1.4 × 10^7 eV and optical deformation constant Pod = 4.0 × 10^17 eV/m. This means that electrons are scattered by the acoustic deformation phonons at low temperatures and optical deformation phonons at high temperatures, respectively. The magnetic field （B） dependence of the relaxation times is T1 ∝ B-2.7 at 100 K and T1 ∝ B-2.3 at 150 K, which nearly agree with the result of Yafet, T1 ∝ B-3.0- B -2.5.

The effects of the Coulomb and Yukawa tensor interactions are numerically discussed as well.

A special coupled KdV equation is proved to be the Painleve property by the Kruskal＇s simplification of WTC method. In order to search new exact solutions of the coupled KdV equation, Hirota＇s bilinear direct method and the conjugate complex number method of exponential functions are applied to this system. As a result, new analytical eomplexiton and soliton solutions are obtained synchronously in a physical field. Then their structures, time evolution and interaction properties are further discussed graphically.     

Solitary and Periodic Waves in Coupled KdV Equations with Different Linear Dispersion Relations

Based on the invariant expansion method, some reasonable approximate solutions of coupled Korteweg-de Vries （KdV） equations with different linear dispersion relations have been obtained. These solutions contain not only bell type soliton solutions but also periodic wave solutions that expressed by Jacob/elliptic functions. The results also show that if the arbitrary constants are selected suitably, the approximate solutions may become the exact ones.

Group solution for an unsteady non-Newtonian Hiemenz flow with variable fluid properties and suction/injection

The theoretic transformation group approach is applied to address the problem of unsteady boundary layer flow of a non-Newtonian fluid near a stagnation point with variable viscosity and thermal conductivity. The application of a twoparameter group method reduces the number of independent variables by two, and consequently the governing partial differential equations with the boundary conditions transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations with the appropriate corresponding conditions. Two systems of ordinary differential equations have been solved numerically using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta algorithm with a shooting technique. The effects of various parameters governing the problem are investigated.

By comparison, it is find that the results generated from the approximate direct method are more general than the results generated from the approximate symmetry perturbation method.     

（G′/G）-Expansion Method Equivalent to Extended Tanh Function Method

In a recent article [Physics Letters A 372 （2008） 417], Wang et al. proposed a method, which is called the （G′/G）-expansion method, to look for travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. The travelling wave solutions involving parameters of the KdV equation, the mKdV equation, the variant Boussinesq equations, and the Hirota-Satsuma equations are obtained by using this method. They think the （G′/G）-expansion method is a new method and more travelling wave solutions of many nonlinear evolution equations can be obtained. In this paper, we will show that the （G′/G）-expansion method is equivalent to the extended tanh function method.

The free vibration problem of rectangular thin plates is rewritten as a new upper triangular matrix differential system. For the associated operator matrix, we find that the two diagonal block operators are Hamiltonian. Moreover, the existence and completeness of normed symplectic orthogonal eigenfunction systems of these two block operators are demonstrated. Based on the completeness, the general solution of the free vibration of rectangular thin plates is given by double symplectie eigenfunction expansion method.

When the parameters are taken as special values, the previously known solutions are recovered.     

A connection between the （G′/G）-expansion method and the truncated Painlev ＇e expansion method and its application to the mKdV equation

Recently the （G′/G）-expansion method was proposed to find the traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. This paper shows that the （G′/G）-expansion method is a special form of the truncated Painlev＇e expansion method by introducing an intermediate expansion method. Then the generalized （G′/G）-（G/G′） expansion method is naturally derived from the standpoint of the nonstandard truncated Painlev＇e expansion. The application of the generalized method to the mKdV equation shows that it extends the range of exact solutions obtained by using the （ G′/ G）-expansion method.     

Antiferromagnetic spin-S chains with exactly dimerized ground states

We show that spin S Heisenberg spin chains with an additional three-body interaction of the form (S(i-1)·S(i))(S(i)·S(i+1))+H.c. possess fully dimerized ground states if the ratio of the three-body interaction to the bilinear one is equal to 1/[4S(S+1)-2]. This result generalizes the Majumdar-Ghosh point of the J1-J2 chain, to which the present model reduces for S=1/2. For S=1, we use the density matrix renormalization group method to show that the transition between the Haldane and the dimerized phases is continuous with a central charge c=3/2. Finally, we show that such a three-body interaction appears naturally in a strong-coupling expansion of the Hubbard model, and we discuss the consequences for the dimerization of actual antiferromagnetic chains.

As a consequence, some solutions to the resulting equations are obtained.
