Periodic problem for the nonlinear damped wave equation with convective nonlinearity

We study the nonlinear damped wave equation with a linear pumping and a convective nonlinearity. We consider the solutions, which satisfy the periodic boundary conditions. Our aim is to prove global existence of solutions to the periodic problem for the nonlinear damped wave equation by applying the energy-type estimates and estimates for the Green operator. Moreover, we study the asymptotic profile of global solutions.     

The Transverse Instability of Periodic Waves in Zakharov–Kuznetsov Type Equations

In this paper, we investigate the instability of one‐dimensionally stable periodic traveling wave solutions of the generalized Korteweg‐de Vries equation to long wavelength transverse perturbations in the generalized Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation in two space dimensions. By deriving appropriate asymptotic expansions of the periodic Evans function, we derive an index which yields sufficient conditions for transverse instabilities to occur. This index is geometric in nature, and applies to any periodic traveling wave profile under some minor smoothness assumptions on the nonlinearity. We also describe the analogous theory for periodic traveling waves of the generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation to long wavelength transverse perturbations in the gBBM–Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation.     

Homogenization Method in the Problem of Long Wave Propagation from a Localized Source in a Basin over an Uneven Bottom

In the framework of the linearized shallow water equations, the homogenization method for wave type equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients that generally cannot be represented as periodic functions of the fast variables is applied to the Cauchy problem for the wave equation describing the evolution of the free surface elevation for long waves propagating in a basin over an uneven bottom. Under certain conditions on the function describing the basin depth, we prove that the solution of the homogenized equation asymptotically approximates the solution of the original equation. Model homogenized wave equations are constructed for several examples of one-dimensional sections of the real ocean bottom profile, and their numerical and asymptotic solutions are compared with numerical solutions of the original equations.

Explicit Traveling Wave Solutions and Their Dynamical Behaviors for the Coupled Higgs Field Equation

In this paper, we focus on the traveling wave solutions of the coupled Higgs field equation from the perspective of dynamical systems. Through the phase portraits, in addition to periodic wave solutions and solitary wave solutions, we also obtain explicit periodic singular wave solutions, singular wave solutions and kink wave solutions, which were not found in the previous works. The dynamical behavior of these solutions and their internal relations are revealed through asymptotic analysis. The results will help supplement the study of field equation.     

Exact periodic wave solutions for the hKdV equation

In this paper, by using the Hirota bilinear method and the Jacobian theta functions for the higher order KdV equation, the existence of periodic wave solutions with one and two period are obtained. The asymptotic properties of the periodic wave solutions are analyzed in detail. It is shown that the well-known soliton solutions can be reduced from the periodic wave solutions.     

Bäcklund transformation,infinite conservation laws and periodic wave solutions to a generalized (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation

Under investigation in this paper is a generalized (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation, which can be used to describe the water wave interaction. By using Bell polynomials, a lucid and systematic approach is proposed to systematically study the integrability of the equation, including its bilinear representation, soliton solutions, periodic wave solutions, Bäcklund transformation and Lax pairs, respectively. Furthermore, by virtue of its Lax equations, the infinite conservation laws of the equation are also derived with the recursion formulas. Finally, the asymptotic behavior of periodic wave solutions is shown with a limiting procedure.     

Traveling Wave Solutions In Coupled Chua'S Circuits,Part I: Periodic Solutions

We study a singularly perturbed system of partial di erential equations that models a one-dimensional array of coupled Chua's circuits. The PDE system is a natural generalization to the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation. In part I of the paper, we show that similar to the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation, the system has periodic traveling wave solutions formed alternatively by fast and slow flows. First, asymptotic method is used on the singular limit of the fast/slow systems to construct a formal periodic solution. Then, dynamical systems method is used to obtain an exact solution near the formal periodic soluion. In part II, we show that the system can have more complicated periodic and chaotic traveling wave solutions that do not exist in the FitzHugh-Nagumos equation.     

Large time behavior of solutions to a nonlinear hyperbolic relaxation system with slowly decaying data

We consider the large time asymptotic behavior of the global solutions to the initial value problem for the nonlinear damped wave equation with slowly decaying initial data. When the initial data decay fast enough, it is known that the solution to this problem converges to the self-similar solution to the Burgers equation called a nonlinear diffusion wave, and its optimal asymptotic rate is obtained. In this paper, we focus on the case that the initial data decay more slowly than previous works and derive the corresponding asymptotic profile. Moreover, we investigate how the change of the decay rate of the initial values affect its asymptotic rate.     

Two-periodic waves and asymptotic property for generalized 2D Toda lattice equation

In this paper, two-periodic wave solutions are constructed for the (2 + 1)-dimensional generalized Toda lattice equation by using Hirota bilinear method and Riemann theta function. At the same time, we analyze in details asymptotic properties of the two-periodic wave solutions and give their asymptotic relations between the periodic wave solutions and the soliton solutions.     

Riemann theta functions periodic wave solutions and rational characteristics for the nonlinear equations

In this paper, based on a multidimensional Riemann theta function, a lucid and straightforward generalization of the Hirota-Riemann method is presented to explicitly construct multiperiodic Riemann theta functions periodic wave solutions for nonlinear equations such as the Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon-Sawada-Kotera equation and (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation. Among these periodic waves, the one-periodic waves are well-known cnoidal waves, their surface pattern is one-dimensional, and often they are used as one-dimensional models of periodic waves. The two-periodic waves are a direct generalization of one-periodic waves, their surface pattern is two-dimensional so that they have two independent spatial periods in two independent horizontal directions. A limiting procedure is presented to analyze in detail, asymptotic behavior of the multiperiodic waves and the relations between the periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions are rigorously established. This generalized Hirota-Riemann method can also be demonstrated on a class variety of nonlinear difference equations such as Toeplitz lattice equation.     

Change of Polarity for Periodic Waves in the Variable‐Coefficient Korteweg‐de Vries Equation

We examine the variable‐coefficient Kortweg‐de Vries equation for the situation when the coefficient of the quadratic nonlinear term changes sign at a certain critical point. This case has been widely studied for a solitary wave, which is extinguished at the critical point and replaced by a train of solitary waves of the opposite polarity to the incident wave, riding on a pedestal of the original polarity. Here, we examine the same case but for a modulated periodic wave train. Using an asymptotic analysis, we show that in contrast a periodic wave is preserved with a finite amplitude as it passes through the critical point, but a phase change is generated causing the wave to reverse its polarity.     

Construction of a series of travelling wave solutions to nonlinear equations

In this paper, based on new auxiliary ordinary differential equation with a sixth-degree nonlinear term, we study the (1 + 1)-dimensional combined KdV–MKdV equation, Hirota equation and (2 + 1)-dimensional Davey–Stewartson equation. Then, a series of new types of travelling wave solutions are obtained which include new bell and kink profile solitary wave solutions, triangular periodic wave solutions and singular solutions. The method used here can be also extended to many other nonlinear partial differential equations.     

Qualitative Analysis and Travelling Wave Solutions for the Generalized Pochhammer–Chree Equation with a Dissipation Term

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the influence of dissipation on travelling wave solutions of the generalized Pochhammer–Chree equation with a dissipation term, and provides travelling wave solutions for this equation. Applying the theory of planar dynamical systems, we obtain ten global phase portraits of the dynamic system corresponding to this equation under various parameter conditions. Moreover, we present the relations between the properties of travelling wave solutions and the dissipation coefficient r of this equation. We find that a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a bell profile solitary wave solution or a periodic travelling wave solution when r= 0; a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a kink profile solitary wave solution when |r| > 0 is large; a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a damped oscillatory solution when |r| > 0 is small. Further, by using undetermined coefficient method, we get all possible bell profile solitary wave solutions and approximate damped oscillatory solutions for this equation. Error estimates indicate that the approximate solutions are meaningful.     

Asymptotic behavior of the periodic wave solution for the (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

In this paper, the one- and two-periodic wave solutions for the (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation are presented by means of the Hirota’s bilinear method and the Riemann theta function. The rigorous proofs on asymptotic behaviors of these two solutions are given that soliton solution can be obtained from the periodic wave solution in an appropriate limiting procedure.     

New explicit solutions for (2 + 1)-dimensional soliton equation

In this Letter, we study (2 + 1)-dimensional soliton equation by using the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems. Following a dynamical system approach, in different parameter regions, we depict phase portraits of a travelling wave system. Bell profile solitary wave solutions, kink profile solitary wave solutions and periodic travelling wave solutions are given. Further, we present the relations between the bounded travelling wave solutions and the energy level h. Through discussing the energy level h, we obtain all explicit formulas of solitary wave solutions and periodic wave solutions.     

Stability of a critical nonlinear neutral delay differential equation

This work deals with a scalar nonlinear neutral delay differential equation issued from the study of wave propagation. A critical value of the coefficients is considered, where only few results are known. The difficulty follows from the fact that the spectrum of the linear operator is asymptotically closed to the imaginary axis. An analysis based on the energy method provides new results about the asymptotic stability of constant and periodic solutions. A complete analysis of the stability diagram is given in the linear homogeneous case. Under periodic forcing, existence of periodic solutions is discussed, involving a Diophantine condition on the period of the source.

Asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of nonlinear wave equations of sixth order with damping

We investigate the initial value problem for a class of nonlinear wave equations of sixth order with damping. The decay structure of this equation is of the regularity‐loss type, which causes difficulty in high‐frequency region. By using the Fourier splitting frequency technique and energy method in Fourier space, we establish asymptotic profiles of solutions to the linear equation that is given by the convolution of the fundamental solutions of heat and free wave equation. Moreover, the asymptotic profile of solutions shows the decay estimate of solutions to the corresponding linear equation obtained in this paper that is optimal under some conditions. Finally, global existence and optimal decay estimate of solutions to this equation are also established. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
