A study of solitary waves by He's semi-inverse variational principle

The dynamics of solitary waves in the presence of perturbation terms is studied in this paper with the aid of the semi-inverse variational principle. In this paper, shallow water waves as well as internal gravity waves in a density-stratified ocean are considered. These are respectively modeled by the Korteweg–de Vries equation as well as the compound Korteweg–de Vries equation. An analytical solution of the solitary wave is found in each case.     

Periodic and chaotic behaviour in a reduced form of the perturbed generalized Korteweg–de Vries and Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations

The dynamical behaviour of a reduced form of the perturbed generalized Korteweg–de Vries and Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations (extension of the Korteweg–de Vries equation to two space variables) are studied in this paper. Harmonic solutions of non-resonance and primary resonance are obtained using the perturbation method. Chaotic motion under harmonic excitations is studied using the Melnikov method.A wide range of solutions for the reduced perturbed generalized Korteweg–de Vries equations, in which non-linear phenomena appearing within transition from regular harmonic response (periodic solutions) to chaotic motion, are obtained using the time integration Runge–Kutta method. When chaos is found, it is detected by examining the phase plane, the Poincaré map, the sensitivity solution of the solution to initial conditions, and by calculating the largest Lyapunov exponent.     

Some features of one-soliton solutions of the Korteweg - de Vries equation

Using the method of inverse scattering problem [1, 2], we study solutions of the Korteweg - de Vries equation under initial conditions in the form of two nonsoliton pulses with not very large amplitudes. It is shown that if the distance between these pulses is not large, then they evolve to one soliton and an oscillating nonlinear tail for t → ∞. As the distance between the pulses or the pulse amplitudes increase, two solitons and an oscillating nonlinear tail are formed. Similar behavior is observed for solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The only difference is that three, but not two, solitons are formed if the distance between two initial inphase pulses increases. The results of analytical consideration are illustrated by the numerical solution of the Korteweg - de Vries equation.     

Analysis of the stability and density waves for traffic flow

In this paper, the optimal velocity model of traffic is extended to take into account the relative velocity. The stability and density waves for traffic flow are investigated analytically with the perturbation method. The stability criterion is derived by the linear stability analysis. It is shown that the triangular shock wave, soliton wave and kink wave appear respectively in our model for density waves in the three regions: stable, metastable and unstable regions. These correspond to the solutions of the Burgers equation, Korteweg－de Vries equation and modified Korteweg－de Vries equation. The analytical results are confirmed to be in good agreement with those of numerical simulation. All the results indicate that the interaction of a car with relative velocity can affect the stability of the traffic flow and raise critical density.
