2:1 Resonance in the delayed nonlinear Mathieu equation

We investigate the dynamics of a delayed nonlinear Mathieu equation: $$\ddot{x}+(\delta+\varepsilon\alpha\,\cos t)x +\varepsilon\gamma x^3=\varepsilon\beta x(t-T)$$ in the neighborhood of δ = 1/4. Three different phenomena are combined in this system: 2:1 parametric resonance, cubic nonlinearity, and delay. The method of averaging (valid for small ?) is used to obtain a slow flow that is analyzed for stability and bifurcations. We show that the 2:1 instability region associated with parametric excitation can be eliminated for sufficiently large delay amplitudes β, and for appropriately chosen time delays T. We also show that adding delay to an undamped parametrically excited system may introduce effective damping.     

A form of the solution to the Mathieu equation

A special linear transformation is introduced to express the general solution to a second-order differential equation with a periodic coefficient in terms of a particular solution to an auxiliary second-order nonlinear system with a periodically perturbed right-hand side. It is numerically shown that there exist periodic solutions to the auxiliary system outside the instability regions of the solutions to the Mathieu equation. The estimates obtained for the instability regions are in agreement with known results.

Singularly perturbed nonlinear second order elliptic equation

In this paper, we study singular perturbation problems of some semi-linear second order elliptic equations with nonlinear boundary value conditions: where ε is a small positive parameter and u/ l is a directional derivative, which lies on an oblique vector (x,ε). We have given a construction of the asymptotic solutions and proof of their asymptotic correctness, which is based on the principle of contraction mapping.

Asymptotic solutions for a damped non-linear quasi-periodic Mathieu equation

Quasi-periodic (QP) solutions of a weakly damped non-linear QP Mathieu equation are investigated near a double primary parametric resonance. A double multiple scales method is applied to reduce the original QP oscillator to an autonomous system performing two successive reduction. The problem for approximating QP solutions of the original system is then transformed to the study of stationary regimes of the induced autonomous system. Explicit analytical approximations to QP oscillations are obtained and comparisons to numerical integration of the original QP oscillator are provided.     

Derivation of a higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equation for weakly nonlinear Rossby waves

In the paper, with the help of a perturbation expansion method a new higher order nonlinear Schrödinger (HNLS) equation is derived to describe nonlinear modulated Rossby waves in the geophysical fluid. Using this equation, the modulational wave trains are discussed. It is found that the higher order terms favor the instability growth of modulational disturbances superimposed on uniform Rossby wave trains, but the instability region becomes narrower. In addition, the latitude and uniform background basic flow are found to affect the instability growth rate and instability region of uniform Rossby wave train. However, for a geostrophic flow the background basic flow does not affect the modulational instability of uniform Rossby wave train.

Renormalization group methods for a Mathieu equation with delayed feedback

This paper presents the application of the renormalization group (RG) methods to the delayed differential equation. By analyzing the Mathieu equation with time delay feedback, we get the amplitude and phase equations, and then obtain the approximate solutions by solving the corresponding RG equations. It shows that the approximate solutions obtained from the RG method are superior to those from the conventionally perturbation methods.

Singular perturbation of boundary value problem for a vector fourth order nonlinear differential equation

We study the vector boundary value problem with boundary perturbations: ε~2y~((4))=f(x,y,y″,ε, μ) ( μ<χ<1-μ) y(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-μ)= A_1(ε,μ), y(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-1-μ)=B_1(ε,μ) y″(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-μ)=A_2(ε,μ),y″(χ,ε,μ)l_(χ-1-μ)=B_2(ε,μ)where yf, A_j and B_j (j=1,2) are n-dimensional vector functions and ε,μ are two small positive parameters. This vector boundary value problem does not appear to have been studied, although the scalar boundary value problem has been treated. Under appropriate assumptions, using the method of differential inequalities we find a solution of the vector boundary value problem and obtain the uniformly valid asymptotic expansions.

Computer algebra-perturbation solution to a nonlinear wave equation

In this paper, the higher-order asymptotic solution to the Cauchy problem of a nonlinear wave equation is found by using a computer algebra-perturbation method. The secular terms in the solution from straightforward expansions are eliminated with the straining of characteristic, coordinates and the use of the renormalization technique, and the four-term uniformly valid solution is obtained with the symbolic computation by using a computer algebra system. The comparison of the derived asymptotic solution and the numerical solution shows that they coincide with each other for smaller ε and agree quite well for larger ε (e. g., ε=0.25) Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Shanghai Municiple Natural Science Foundation     

A periodic solution to a nonlinear diffusion equation

An analytic solution to the one dimensional heat diffusion equation is presented where the diffusion coefficient varies as a power of temperature. The discussion is motivated by the transmission of heat through the strongly nonlinear medium of soil. Under boundary conditions representing the daily, or seasonal, sinusoidal fluctuation in temperature it is seen that, despite the nonlinearity, the period of the oscillation is preserved on passage through the medium. The nonlinearity acts to accelerate the heating phase and retard the cooling phase within a period which itself remains stable. These effects are calculable from a second harmonic arising in the analysis.     

Application of a perfectly matched layer to the nonlinear wave equation

We derive a perfectly matched layer-like damping layer for the nonlinear wave equation. In the layer, only two auxiliary variables are needed. In the linear case the layer is perfectly matched, but in the nonlinear case it is not. Well posedness is established for the linear case. We also prove various energy estimates which can be used as a starting point for establishing stability of more general cases. In particular, we are able to show estimates for a special type of nonlinearity.Numerical experiments that show the effectiveness of the layer are presented both for nonlinear and linear problems. In the computations, we use an eighth order summation-by-parts discretization in space and implement the boundary conditions using a penalty procedure. We present new stability results for this discretization applied to the second order wave equation in the case with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Instability in the higher modes of a nonlinear equation

The linear approximation is used to study the stability of two- and three-dimensional higher-order modes of a nonlinear wave equation against exponentially increasing perturbations. For all the nonlinear models considered the higher modes are unstable; the number of exponentially increasing perturbations and their growth rate are determined by the mode number and the form of the nonlinear relationship. Numerical tests are described in the parabolic approximation on the stability of the first axially symmetric mode against small amplitude perturbations and the conditions are determined under which higher-order modes can be observed.
