Solutions to Painleve III and other nonlinear equations by a generalized Cole–Hopf transformation

In this paper, we introduce a generalized form of Cole‐Hopf transformation and apply it to find new closed‐form (analytic) solutions to Painleve III equation. The same transformation is used then to find analytic solutions for the van der Pol and other nonlinear convective equations. These solutions provide analytic insights to some practical problems and might be used also to test the accuracy of numerical solutions. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Exact multiplicity and global structure of solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic equations

In this paper, we establish an exact multiplicity result of solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic equation. We also obtain a precise global bifurcation diagram of the solution set. As a result, an open problem presented by C.-H. Hsu and Y.-W. Shih [C.-H. Hsu, Y.-W. Shih, Solutions of semilinear elliptic equations with asymptotic linear nonlinearity, Nonlinear Anal. 50 (2002) 275-283] is completely solved. Our argument is mainly based on bifurcation theory and continuation method.

Optimal Control of the Viscous Burgers Equation Using an Equivalent Index Method

We develop a technique to utilize the Cole–Hopf transformation to solve an optimal control problem for Burgers' equation. While the Burgers' equation is transformed into a simpler linear equation, the performance index is transformed to a complicated rational expression. We show that a simpler performance index, that retains the behavior of the original performance index near optimal values of the functional, can be used.

Classical solutions to relativistic Burgers equations in FLRW space-times

We are interested in the classical solutions to the Cauchy problem of relativistic Burgers equations evolving in Friedmann-Lemat?tre-Robertson-Walker(FLRW)space-times,which are spatially homogeneous,isotropic expanding or contracting universes.In such kind of space-times,we first derive the relativistic Burgers equations from the relativistic Euler equations by letting the pressure be zero.Then we can show the global existence of the classical solution to the derived equation in the accelerated expanding space-times with small initial data by the method of characteristics when the spacial dimension n=1 and the energy estimate when n 2,respectively.Furthermore,we can also show the lifespan of the classical solution by similar methods when the expansion rate of the space-times is not so fast.

Numerical solutions of the space- and time-fractional coupled Burgers equations by generalized differential transform method

In this paper, by introducing the fractional derivative in the sense of Caputo, the generalized two-dimensional differential transform method (DTM) is directly applied to solve the coupled Burgers equations with space- and time-fractional derivatives. The presented method is a numerical method based on the generalized Taylor series formula which constructs an analytical solution in the form of a polynomial. Several illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the generalized two-dimensional DTM for the equations.

A new note on exact complex travelling wave solutions for (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

Exact solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili by Zhang [Huiqun Zhang, A note on exact complex travelling wave solutions for (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, Appl. Math. Comput. 216 (2010) 2771-2777] are considered. To look for “new types of exact solutions travelling wave solutions” of equation Zhang has used the G′/G-expansion method. We demonstrate that there is the general solution for the reduction by Zhang from the (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation and all solutions by Zhang are found as partial cases from the general solution.     

Exact and traveling-wave solutions for convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power-law nonlinearity

Based on the simplest equation method, we propose exact and traveling-wave solutions for a nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power law nonlinearity. Such equation can be considered as a generalization of the Fisher equation and other well-known convection-diffusion-reaction equations. Two important cases are considered. The case of density-independent diffusion and the case of density-dependent diffusion. When the parameters of the equation are constant, the Bernoulli equation is used as the simplest equation. This leads to new traveling-wave solutions. Moreover, some wavefront solutions can be derived from the traveling-wave ones. The case of time-dependent velocity in the convection term is studied also. We derive exact solutions of the equations by using the Riccati equation as simplest equation. The exact and traveling-wave solutions presented in this paper can be used to explain many biological and physical phenomena.
