Homoclinic breather-wave solutions and doubly periodic wave solutions for coupled KdV equations

In this paper, we first find out a proper variable transformation by the ideas of Painleve expansion. Then we apply the extended homoclinic test approach to obtain two-cycle breathing places wave solutions of Eq. (1) which describe interactions between two physical waves, and these special solutions can be applied to explain the structure of certain physical phenomena. Thus this method can be applied to the study of other similar nonlinear coupled system.     

Multiple soliton solutions and other exact solutions for a two‐mode KdV equation

In this work, we study the two‐mode Korteweg–de Vries (TKdV) equation, which describes the propagation of two different waves modes simultaneously. We show that the TKdV equation gives multiple soliton solutions for specific values of the nonlinearity and dispersion parameters involved in the equation. We also derive other distinct exact solutions for general values of these parameters. We apply the simplified Hirota's method to study the specific of the parameters, which gives multiple soliton solutions. We also use the tanh/coth method and the tan/cot method to obtain other set of solutions with distinct physical structures. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Solitary waves and their linear stability in weakly coupled KdV equations

We consider a system of weakly coupled KdV equations developed initially by Gear & Grimshaw to model interactions between long waves. We prove the existence of a variety of solitary wave solutions, some of which are not constrained minimizers. We show that such solutions are always linearly unstable. Moreover, the nature of the instability may be oscillatory and as such provides a rigorous justification for the numerically observed phenomenon of “leapfrogging.”     

Numerical solutions of boundary value problems for variable coefficient generalized KdV equations using Lie symmetries

The exhaustive group classification of a class of variable coefficient generalized KdV equations is presented, which completes and enhances results existing in the literature. Lie symmetries are used for solving an initial and boundary value problem for certain subclasses of the above class. Namely, the found Lie symmetries are applied in order to reduce the initial and boundary value problem for the generalized KdV equations (which are PDEs) to an initial value problem for nonlinear third-order ODEs. The latter problem is solved numerically using the finite difference method. Numerical solutions are computed and the vast parameter space is studied.     

A modified extended method to find a series of exact solutions for a system of complex coupled KdV equations

In this paper an algebraic method is devised to uniformly construct a series of complete new exact solutions for general nonlinear equations. For illustration, we apply the modified proposed method to revisit a complex coupled KdV system and successfully construct a series of new exact solutions including the soliton solutions and elliptic doubly periodic solutions.     

Numerical solutions for some coupled nonlinear evolution equations by using spectral collocation method

In this paper, we introduce a spectral collocation method based on Lagrange polynomials for spatial derivatives to obtain numerical solutions for some coupled nonlinear evolution equations. The problem is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations that are solved by the fourth order Runge–Kutta method. Numerical results of coupled Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations, coupled modified KdV equations, coupled KdV system and Boussinesq system are obtained. The present results are in good agreement with the exact solutions. Moreover, the method can be applied to a wide class of coupled nonlinear evolution equations.     

Note on periodic solutions of fractional differential equations

Recurrent solutions of the linearly coupled complex cubic‐quintic Ginzburg‐Landau equations

In this paper, we will establish the bounded solutions, periodic solutions, quasiperiodic solutions, almost periodic solutions, and almost automorphic solutions for linearly coupled complex cubic‐quintic Ginzburg‐Landau equations, under suitable conditions. The main difficulty is the nonlinear terms in the equations that are not Lipschitz‐continuity, traditional methods cannot deal with the difficulty in our problem. We overcome this difficulty by the Galerkin approach, energy estimate method, and refined inequality technique.

Lower semicontinuous solutions for a class of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations

The present paper is concerned with the study of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation in finite-dimensional spaces, from both the point of view of l.s.c. viscosity solutions and the point of view of l.s.c. contingent solutions. The results have been used in the study of the uniqueness problem for the Bellman equation associated to a time-optimal control problem (Ref. 1).This paper was completed while the author was visiting the University of California at Los Angeles as a Fulbright Scholar.     

New exact Jacobi elliptic functions solutions for the generalized coupled Hirota-Satsuma KdV system

In this paper, an generalized Jacobi elliptic functions expansion method with computerized symbolic computation is used for constructing more new exact Jacobi elliptic functions solutions of the generalized coupled Hirota-Satsuma KdV system. As a result, eight families of new doubly periodic solutions are obtained by using this method, some of these solutions are degenerated to solitary wave solutions and triangular functions solutions in the limit cases when the modulus of the Jacobi elliptic functions m → 1 or 0, which shows that the applied method is more powerful and will be used in further works to establish more entirely new solutions for other kinds of nonlinear partial differential equations arising in mathematical physics.

This paper is devoted to Young measure solutions of a class of forward-backward diffusion equations. Inspired by the idea from a recent work of Demoulini, we first discuss the regular case by introducing the Young measure solutions and prove the existence for such solutions, and then approximate the extreme case by the approach of regularization and establish the existence of Young measure solutions in the class of functions with bounded variation.
