Dynamical understanding of loop soliton solution for several nonlinear wave equations

It has been found that some nonlinear wave equations have one-loop soliton solutions. What is the dynamical behavior of the so-called one-loop soliton solution? To answer this question, the travelling wave solutions for four nonlinear wave equations are discussed. Exact explicit parametric representations of some special travelling wave solutions are given. The results of this paper show that a loop solution consists of three different breaking travelling wave solutions. It is not one real loop soliton travelling wave solution.     

Mathematical analysis of a fluid—solid interaction problem

This paper analyzes a fluid—solid interaction model which describes the interaction between an inviscid fluid and an elastic solid In the model, the linear elastodynamic equations complemented with appropriate interface and boundary conditions are used to describe the wave propagation in the fluid and solid regions, and absorbing boundary conditions are used to minimize unphysical wave reflections. It is shown that the initial boundary value problem of the mathematical model posses a unique global (in time) quasi-strong solution. Regularity of the quasi-strong solution is also obtained under some reasonable assumptions on the data and on the domain.

Stability of post-fertilization traveling waves

This paper studies the stability of a family of traveling wave solutions to the system proposed by Lane et al. [D.C. Lane, J.D. Murray, V.S. Manoranjan, Analysis of wave phenomena in a morphogenetic mechanochemical model and an application to post-fertilization waves on eggs, IMA J. Math. Appl. Med. Biol. 4 (4) (1987) 309-331], to model a pair of mechanochemical phenomena known as post-fertilization waves on eggs. The waves consist of an elastic deformation pulse on the egg's surface, and a free calcium concentration front. The family is indexed by a coupling parameter measuring contraction stress effects on the calcium concentration. This work establishes the spectral, linear and nonlinear orbital stability of these post-fertilization waves for small values of the coupling parameter. The usual methods for the spectral and evolution equations cannot be applied because of the presence of mixed partial derivatives in the elastic equation. Nonetheless, exponential decay of the directly constructed semigroup on the complement of the zero eigenspace is established. We show that small perturbations of the waves yield solutions to the nonlinear equations decaying exponentially to a phase-modulated traveling wave.     

Exact analytical and numerical solutions of stability problems for a straight composite bar subjected to axial compression and torsion

Based on linearized equations of the theory of elastic stability of straight composite bars with a low shear rigidity, which are constructed using the consistent geometrically nonlinear equations of elasticity theory for small deformations and arbitrary displacements and a kinematic model of Timoshenko type, exact analytical solutions of nonclassical stability problems are obtained for a bar subjected to axial compression and torsion for various modes of end fixation. It is shown that the problem of direct determination of the critical parameter of the compressive load at a given torque parameter leads to transcendental characteristic equations that are solvable only if bar ends have cylindrical hinges. At the same time, we succeeded in obtaining solutions to these equations in terms of wave formation parameters of the bar; these parameters, in turn, enabled us to find the parameter of the critical load at any boundary conditions. Also, an algorithm for numerical solution of the problems stated is proposed, which is based on reducing the problems to systems of integroalgebraic equations with Volterra-type operators and on solving these equations by the method of mechanical quadratures (finite sums). It is demonstrated that such numerical solutions exist only for certain ranges of parameters of the bar and of the parameter of torque. In the general case, they can not be obtained by the numerical method used. It is also shown that the well-known solutions of the stability problem for a bar subjected to torsion or to compression with torsion are in correct.

In this paper, the Lie symmetry analysis are performed on the three nonlinear elastic rod (NER) equations. The complete group classifications of the generalized nonlinear elastic rod equations are obtained. The symmetry reductions and exact solutions to the equations are presented. Furthermore, by means of dynamical system and power series methods, the exact explicit solutions to the equations are investigated. It is shown that the combination of Lie symmetry analysis and dynamical system method is a feasible approach to deal with symmetry reductions and exact solutions to nonlinear PDEs.     

Nonlinear Waves in a Rod: Results for Incompressible Elastic Materials

A nonlinear intrinsic theory is used to describe the motions of a straight round elastic rod including the influence of radial shear and inertia. Consideration of steady wave motions reduces the two coupled partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations for which two integrals of the motion may be found. For incompressible elastic materials with the restriction of small strain gradients, but arbitrary finite strains, a large variety of exact solutions may be found by quadrature. These include large amplitude periodic waves (which may contain shocks), solitary waves, and in some cases waves that are transitional from one stress level to another. Such solutions may be found for uniform stress strain curves that are concave up or down or that contain inflections, and even for nonmontonic curves, which have been used to represent phase transitions.     

A Method for Constructing Traveling Wave Solutions to Nonlinear Evolution Equations

In this paper, an analytical method is proposed to construct explicitly exact and approximate solutions for nonlinear evolution equations. By using this method, some new traveling wave solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation and the Benny equation are obtained explicitly. These solutions include solitary wave solutions, singular traveling wave solutions and periodical wave solutions. These results indicate that in some cases our analytical approach is an effective method to obtain traveling solitary wave solutions of various nonlinear evolution equations. It can also be applied to some related nonlinear dynamical systems.

It has been shown that new types of exact travelling wave solutions for these nonlinear differential–difference equations can be constructed.     

Symbolic computation of some new nonlinear partial differential equations of nanobiosciences using modified extended tanh-function method

By means of computerized symbolic computation and a modified extended tanh-function method the multiple travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations is presented and implemented in a computer algebraic system. Applying this method, we consider some of nonlinear partial differential equations of special interest in nanobiosciences and biophysics namely, the transmission line models of microtubules for nano-ionic currents. The nonlinear equations elaborated here are quite original and first proposed in the context of important nanosciences problems related with cell signaling. It could be even of basic importance for explanation of cognitive processes in neurons. As results, we can successfully recover the previously known solitary wave solutions that had been found by other sophisticated methods. The method is straightforward and concise, and it can also be applied to other nonlinear equations in physics.     

Seven common errors in finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations

We analyze the common errors of the recent papers in which the solitary wave solutions of nonlinear differential equations are presented. Seven common errors are formulated and classified. These errors are illustrated by using multiple examples of the common errors from the recent publications. We show that many popular methods in finding the exact solutions are equivalent each other. We demonstrate that some authors look for the solitary wave solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and do not take into account the well - known general solutions of these equations. We illustrate several cases when authors present some functions for describing solutions but do not use arbitrary constants. As this fact takes place the redundant solutions of differential equations are found. A few examples of incorrect solutions by some authors are presented. Several other errors in finding the exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations are also discussed.

An observation on the periodic solutions to nonlinear physical models by means of the auxiliary equation with a sixth-degree nonlinear term

It is a fact that in auxiliary equation methods, the exact solutions of different types of auxiliary equations may produce new types of exact travelling wave solutions to nonlinear equations. In this manner, various auxiliary equations of first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation with distinct-degree nonlinear terms are examined and, by means of symbolic computation, the new solutions of original auxiliary equation of first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation with sixth-degree nonlinear term are presented. Consequently, the novel exact solutions of the generalized Klein–Gordon equation and the active-dissipative dispersive media equation are found out for illustration purposes. They are also applicable, where conventional perturbation method fails to provide any solution of the nonlinear problems under study.     

Bifurcation to Mean Flows in Convection

Convection with a strip plate in the middle is studied in this paper. Simultaneous instability of two convection modes of different vertical structures with a same horizontal wave number is possible in this system. It is found that the interaction of these two modes generates mean flows similar to those observed by Krishnamurti and Howard [9] in a turbulent convection experiment. Coupled nonlinear equations are derived for the amplitudes of the two modes. Traveling wave solutions and more complicated time-dependent solutions are also found near the onset of convection.
