Exact solutions of semilinear radial wave equations in n dimensions

Exact solutions are derived for an n-dimensional radial wave equation with a general power nonlinearity. The method, which is applicable more generally to other nonlinear PDEs, involves an ansatz technique to solve a first-order PDE system of group-invariant variables given by group foliations of the wave equation, using the one-dimensional admitted point symmetry groups. (These groups comprise scalings and time translations, admitted for any nonlinearity power, in addition to space-time inversions admitted for a particular conformal nonlinearity power.) This is shown to yield not only group-invariant solutions as derived by standard symmetry reduction, but also other exact solutions of a more general form. In particular, solutions with interesting analytical behavior connected with blow-ups as well as static monopoles are obtained.     

Exp-function method for traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations

In this paper, we apply the exp-function method to construct generalized solitary and periodic solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. The proposed technique is tested on the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) and Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Modified-Equal-Width (ZK-MEW) equations. These equations play a very important role in mathematical physics and engineering sciences. The suggested algorithm is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in these problems. Numerical results clearly indicate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed exp-function method.

非线性发展方程行波解的符号计算

Abstract. A Riccati equation involving a parameter and symbolic computation are used to uni-formly construct the different forms of travelling wave solutions for nonlinear evolution equa-tions. It is shown that the sign of the parameter can be applied in judging the existence of vari-ous forms of travelling wave solutions. An efficiency of this method is demonstrated on some e-quations,which include Burgers-Huxley equation,Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon-Kawada equation,gen-eralized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation and generalized Fisher equation.

Symbolic computation and a uniform direct ansätze method for constructing travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations

On the basis of the computer symbolic system Maple and the tanh method, the Riccati equation method as well as all kinds of improved versions of these methods, we present a further uniform direct ansätze method for constructing travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. Compared with the existing methods, the presented method can be used to construct more new general solutions. And we give some examples to illustrate the key step of our method.     

The backward group preserving scheme for multi-dimensional nonhomogeneous and nonlinear backward wave problems

In this study, we utilize a backward group preserving scheme (BGPS) to cope with the nonhomogeneous as well as nonlinear backward wave problems (BWPs). Because the solution does not continuously count on the given information, the BWP is well-known to be seriously ill-posed. When six numerical instances are examined, we reveal that the BGPS is capable of tackling the nonhomogeneous and nonlinear BWPs. Besides, the BGPS is also robust enough against the perturbation even with the boisterous final data, of which the numerical results are rather accurate, effective and stable.     

Exact solitary wave solutions of nonlinear wave equations

The hyperbolic function method for nonlinear wave equations is presented. In support of a computer algebra system, many exact solitary wave solutions of a class of nonlinear wave equations are obtained via the method. The method is based on the fact that the solitary wave solutions are essentially of a localized nature. Writing the solitary wave solutions of a nonlinear wave equation as the polynomials of hyperbolic functions, the nonlinear wave equation can be changed into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. The system can be solved via Wu Elimination or Gr?bner base method. The exact solitary wave solutions of the nonlinear wave equation are obtained including many new exact solitary wave solutions.     

Instability of steady states for nonlinear wave and heat equations

We consider time-independent solutions of hyperbolic equations such as _∂ttu−Δu=f(x,u) where f is convex in u. We prove that linear instability with a positive eigenfunction implies nonlinear instability. In some cases the instability occurs as a blow up in finite time. We prove the same result for parabolic equations such as t_∂u−Δu=f(x,u). Then we treat several examples under very sharp conditions, including equations with potential terms and equations with supercritical nonlinearities.

Single and multi-solitary wave solutions to a class of nonlinear evolution equations

In this paper, an effective discrimination algorithm is presented to deal with equations arising from physical problems. The aim of the algorithm is to discriminate and derive the single traveling wave solutions of a large class of nonlinear evolution equations. Many examples are given to illustrate the algorithm. At the same time, some factorization technique are presented to construct the traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations, such as Camassa-Holm equation, Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov equation, and so on. Then a direct constructive method called multi-auxiliary equations expansion method is described to derive the multi-solitary wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. Finally, a class of novel multi-solitary wave solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional asymmetric version of the Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov equation are given by three direct methods. The algorithm proposed in this paper can be steadily applied to some other nonlinear problems.

In this paper, we study the limit behavior of the solutions to a class of nonlinear dispersive wave equations. We also demonstrate that the solutions to Eq. (1.1) converge to the solution to the corresponding BBM equation as the parameter γ converges to zero. And the convergence of solutions to Eq. (1.1) as α²→0 is studied in Hs(R), . Given the discussion of the parameters in the nonlinear dispersive wave equation (1.1), one will obtain some conditions in which compacton and peakon occur.
