An analytical solution for two and three dimensional nonlinear Burgers' equation

This paper derives analytical solutions for the two dimensional and the three dimensional Burgers' equation. The two-dimensional and three-dimensional Burgers' equation are defined in a square and a cubic space domain, respectively, and a particular set of boundary and initial conditions is considered. The analytical solution for the two dimensional Burgers' equation is given by the quotient of two infinite series which involve Bessel, exponential, and trigonometric functions. The analytical solution for the three dimensional Burgers' equation is given by the quotient of two infinite series which involve hypergeometric, exponential, trigonometric and power functions. For both cases, the solutions can describe shock wave phenomena for large Reynolds numbers (R_e ≥ 100), which is useful for testing numerical methods.     

Nonclassical symmetry reductions of the Boussinesq equation

In this paper we discuss symmetry reductions and exact solutions of the Boussinesq equation using the classical Lie method of infinitesimals, the direct method due to Clarkson and Kruskal and the nonclassical method due to Bluman and Cole. In particular, we compare and contrast the application of these three methods. We discuss the use of symbolic manipulation programs in the implementation of these methods and differential Gröbner bases as a technique for solving the overdetermined systems of equations that arise. The relationship between the direct and nonclassical methods and other ansatz-based methods for deriving exact solutions of partial differential equations are also mentioned. To conclude we describe some of the important open problems in the field of symmetry analysis of differential equations.

On the determining equations for the nonclassical reductions of the heat and Burgers' equation

The determining equations for the nonclassical reductions of the heat and Burgers' equations are considered. It is shown that both systems belong to a Burgers' equation hierarchy. Each system is written in terms of the same matrix Burgers' equation that is linearized via a matrix Hopf–Cole transformation. In essence, it is shown that both systems can be solved simultaneously. Their respective solutions are then presented in a very compact form.     

Nonclassical symmetry reductions for an inhomogeneous nonlinear diffusion equation

In this paper we consider a class of generalised diffusion equations which are of great interest in mathematical physics. For some of these equations model, fast diffusion nonclassical symmetries are derived. We find the connection between classes of nonclassical symmetries of the equation and of an associated system. These symmetries allow us to increase the number of solutions. Some of these solutions are unobtainable by classical symmetries and exhibit an interesting behaviour.     

Planforms in two and three dimensions

Summary When solving systems of PDE with two space dimensions it is often assumed that the solution is spatially doubly periodic. This assumption is usually made in systems such as the Boussinesq equation or reaction-diffusion equations where the equations have Euclidean invariance. In this article we use group theoretic techniques to determine a large class of spatially doubly periodic solutions that are forced to existence near a steady-state bifurcation from a translation-invariant equilibrium.This type of bifurcation problem has been considered by many authors when studying a number of different systems of PDE. Typically, these studies focus at the beginning on equilibria that are spatially periodic with respect to a fixed planar lattice type-such as square or hexagonal. Our focus is different in that we attempt to find all spatially periodic equilibria that bifurcate on all lattices. This point of view leads to some technical simplifications such as being able to restrict to translation free irreducible representations.Of course, many of the types of solutions that we find are well-known-such as hexagon and roll solutions on a hexagonal lattice. This coordinated group theoretic approach does lead, however, to solutions which seem not to have been discussed previously (antisquare solutions on a square lattice) as well as to a more complete classification of the symmetry types of possible solutions. Moreover, our methods extend to triply periodic solutions of PDE with three spatial variables. Some of these results, namely those concerned with primitive cubic lattices, are presented here. The complete results on triply periodic solutions may be found in [6, 7].In honor of Klaus Kirchgässner on the occasion of his sixtieth birthdayResearch supported in part by NSF/DARPA (DMS-8700897) and by the Texas Advanced Research Program (ARP-1100).     

Involution and symmetry reductions

After reviewing some notions of the formal theory of differential equations, we discuss the completion of a given system to an involutive one. As applications to symmetry theory, we study the effects of local solvability and of gauge symmetries, respectively. We consider nonclassical symmetry reductions and more general reductions using differential constraints.     

Maximum principles for bounded solutions of the telegraph equation in space dimensions two and three and applications

A maximum principle is proved for the weak solutions of the telegraph equation in space dimension three u_tt−Δ_xu+cu_t+λu=f(t,x), when c>0, λ∈(0,c²/4] and (Theorem 1). The result is extended to a solution and a forcing belonging to a suitable space of bounded measures (Theorem 2). Those results provide a method of upper and lower solutions for the semilinear equation u_tt−Δ_xu+cu_t=F(t,x,u). Also, they can be employed in the study of almost periodic solutions of the forced sine-Gordon equation. A counterexample for the maximum principle in dimension four is given.     

Finite-parameter feedback stabilization of original Burgers' equations and Burgers' equation with nonlocal nonlinearities

We study the problem of global exponential stabilization of original Burgers' equations and the Burgers' equation with nonlocal nonlinearities by controllers depending on finitely many parameters. We investigate both equations by employing controllers based on finitely many Fourier modes and the latter equation by employing finitely many volume elements. To ensure global exponential stabilization, we have provided sufficient conditions on the control parameters for each problem. We also show that solutions of the controlled equations are steering a concrete solution of the non-controlled system as t → ∞ with an exponential decay rate.     

Exact solutions to difference equation models of Burgers' equation

This article gives exact solutions to several difference equation models of Burgers' equation. The particular cases considered correspond to the diffusion-free, nonlinear steady-state and linear steady-state situations.     

Non-singular Green’s functions for the unbounded Poisson equation in one,two and three dimensions

In this paper, we derive the non-singular Green’s functions for the unbounded Poisson equation in one, two and three dimensions using a spectral cut-off function approach to impose a minimum length scale in the homogeneous solution. The resulting non-singular Green’s functions are relevant to applications which are restricted to a minimum resolved length scale (e.g. a mesh size $h$) and thus cannot handle the singular Green’s function of the continuous Poisson equation. We furthermore derive the gradient vector of the non-singular Green’s function, as this is useful in applications where the Poisson equation represents potential functions of a vector field.

On free Zp-torus actions in dimensions two and three

A hyperbolic singular perturbation of Burgers' equation

This paper is concerned with the effect of perturbing Burgers' equation by a small term ?² U_tt. It is shown by means of an energy estimate that the solution of Burgers' equation provides a uniform O (?) approximation of the solution of the full hyperbolic problem. Existence and uniqueness of classical solutions for both problems is proved. A related linear problem is first addressed using the Faedo–Galerkin method to obtain key estimates. Important for the hyperbolic problem is the introduction of an ?-dependent energy in order to track the order-? behaviour of various higher-order derivatives. Subsequent use of Schauder technique and Banach contraction mapping principle yields solutions of the semilinear problems.
