He's homotopy perturbation method for solving Korteweg‐de Vries Burgers equation with initial condition

In this article, we present the Homotopy Perturbation Method (Shortly HPM) for obtaining the numerical solutions of the Korteweg‐de Vries Burgers (KdVB) equation. The series solutions are developed and the reccurance relations are given explicity. The initial approximation can be freely chosen with possibly unknown constants which can be determined by imposing the boundary and initial conditions. The results reveal that HPM is very simple and effective. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2010     

Initial conditions for the cylindrical Korteweg‐de Vries equation

In this paper, we find suitable initial conditions for the cylindrical Korteweg‐de Vries equation by first solving exactly the initial‐value problem for localized solutions of the underlying axisymmetric linear long‐wave equation. The far‐field limit of the solution of this linear problem then provides, through matching, an initial condition for the cylindrical Korteweg‐de Vries equation. This initial condition is associated only with the leading wave front of the far‐field limit of the linear solution. The main motivation is to resolve the discrepancy between the exact mass conservation law, and the “mass” conservation law for the cylindrical Korteweg‐de Vries equation. The outcome is that in the linear initial‐value problem all the mass is carried behind the wave front, and then the “mass” in the initial condition for the cylindrical Korteweg‐de Vries equation is zero. Hence, the evolving solution in the cylindrical Korteweg‐de Vries equation has zero “mass.” This situation arises because, unlike the well‐known unidirectional Korteweg‐de Vries equation, the solution of the initial‐value problem for the axisymmetric linear long‐wave problem contains both outgoing and ingoing waves, but in the cylindrical geometry, the latter are reflected at the origin into outgoing waves, and eventually the total outgoing solution is a combination of these and those initially generated.     

Exponential finite-difference method applied to Korteweg–de Vries equation for small times

The Korteweg–de Vries equation is numerically solved by using the exponential finite-difference technique. The accuracy of computed solutions is examined by comparison with other numerical and analytical solutions using two examples. The close results agreement between the current results and the exact solutions confirms that the proposed finite-difference procedure is an effective technique for the solution of the Korteweg–de Vries equation at the small times.     

Propagation of the nonlinear damped Korteweg‐de Vries equation in an unmagnetized collisional dusty plasma via analytical mathematical methods

In this article, we consider the problem formulation of dust plasmas with positively charge, cold dust fluid with negatively charge, thermal electrons, ionized electrons, and immovable background neutral particles. We obtain the dust‐ion‐acoustic solitary waves (DIASWs) under nonmagnetized collision dusty plasma. By using the reductive perturbation technique, the nonlinear damped Korteweg‐de Vries (D‐KdV) equation is formulated. We found the solutions for nonlinear D‐KdV equation. The constructed solutions represent as bright solitons, dark solitons, kink wave and antikinks wave solitons, and periodic traveling waves. The physical interpretation of constructed solutions is represented by two‐ and three‐dimensional graphically models to understand the physical aspects of various behavior for DIASWs. These investigation prove that proposed techniques are more helpful, fruitful, powerful, and efficient to study analytically the other nonlinear nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that arise in engineering, plasma physics, mathematical physics, and many other branches of applied sciences.     

Numerical algorithms for solutions of Korteweg–de Vries equation

The nonlinear Korteweg–de Vries (KdVE) equation is solved numerically using both Lagrange polynomials based differential quadrature and cosine expansion‐based differential quadrature methods. The first test example is travelling single solitary wave solution of KdVE and the second test example is interaction of two solitary waves, whereas the other three examples are wave production from solitary waves. Maximum error norm and root mean square error norm are computed, and numerical comparison with some earlier works is done for the first two examples, the lowest four conserved quantities are computed for all test examples. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Distributed optimal control of the viscous Burgers equation via a Legendre pseudo‐spectral approach

This paper presents a computational technique based on the pseudo‐spectral method for the solution of distributed optimal control problem for the viscous Burgers equation. By using pseudo‐spectral method, the problem is converted to a classical optimal control problem governed by a system of ordinary differential equations, which can be solved by well‐developed direct or indirect methods. For solving the resulting optimal control problem, we present an indirect method by deriving and numerically solving the first‐order optimality conditions. Numerical tests involving both unconstrained and constrained control problems are considered. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the uniform decay for the Korteweg–de Vries equation with weak damping

The aim of this work is to consider the Korteweg–de Vries equation in a finite interval with a very weak localized dissipation namely the H^?1‐norm. Our main result says that the total energy decays locally uniform at an exponential rate. Our analysis improves earlier works on the subject (Q. Appl. Math. 2002; LX (1):111–129; ESAIM Control Optim. Calculus Variations 2005; 11 (3):473–486) and gives a satisfactory answer to a problem suggested in (Q. Appl. Math. 2002; LX (1):111–129). Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Legendre multiwavelet Galerkin method for solving the hyperbolic telegraph equation

Recently, it is found that telegraph equation is more suitable than ordinary diffusion equation in modeling reaction diffusion for such branches of sciences. In this article a numerical method for solving the one‐dimensional hyperbolic telegraph equation is presented. The method is based upon Legendre multiwavelet approximations. The properties of Legendre multiwavelet are first presented. These properties together with Galerkin method are then utilized to reduce the telegraph equation to the solution of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2009

An efficient pseudo‐spectral Legendre–Galerkin method for solving a nonlinear partial integro‐differential equation arising in population dynamics

The pseudo‐spectral Legendre–Galerkin method (PS‐LGM) is applied to solve a nonlinear partial integro‐differential equation arising in population dynamics. This equation is a competition model in which similar individuals are competing for the same resources. It is a kind of reaction–diffusion equation with integral term corresponding to nonlocal consumption of resources. The proposed method is based on the Legendre–Galerkin formulation for the linear terms and interpolation operator at the Chebyshev–Gauss–Lobatto (CGL) points for the nonlinear terms. Also, the integral term, which is a kind of convolution, is directly computed by a fast and accurate method based on CGL interpolation operator, and thus, the use of any quadrature formula in its computation is avoided. The main difference of the PS‐LGM presented in the current paper with the classic LGM is in treating the nonlinear terms and imposing boundary conditions. Indeed, in the PS‐LGM, the nonlinear terms are efficiently handled using the CGL points, and also the boundary conditions are imposed strongly as collocation methods. Combination of the PS‐LGM with a semi‐implicit time integration method such as second‐order backward differentiation formula and Adams‐Bashforth method leads to reducing the complexity of computations and obtaining a linear algebraic system of equations with banded coefficient matrix. The desired equation is considered on one and two‐dimensional spatial domains. Efficiency, accuracy, and convergence of the proposed method are demonstrated numerically in both cases.

A pseudo‐spectral method that uses an overlapping multidomain technique for the numerical solution of sine‐Gordon equation in one and two spatial dimensions

In this article, we study an explicit scheme for the solution of sine‐Gordon equation when the space discretization is carried out by an overlapping multidomain pseudo‐spectral technique. By using differentiation matrices, the equation is reduced to a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations in time that can be discretized with the explicit fourth‐order Runge–Kutta method. To achieve approximation with high accuracy in large domains, the number of space grid points must be large enough. This yields very large and full matrices in the pseudo‐spectral method that causes large memory requirements. The domain decomposition approach provides sparsity in the matrices obtained after the discretization, and this property reduces storage for large matrices and provides economical ways of performing matrix–vector multiplications. Therefore, we propose a multidomain pseudo‐spectral method for the numerical simulation of the sine‐Gordon equation in large domains. Test examples are given to demonstrate the accuracy and capability of the proposed method. Numerical experiments show that the multidomain scheme has an excellent long‐time numerical behavior for the sine‐Gordon equation in one and two dimensions.

A numerical method for solving KdV equation with multilevel B-spline quasi-interpolation

In this article, we use a multilevel quartic spline quasi-interpolation scheme to solve the one-dimensional nonlinear Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation which exhibits a large number of physical phenomena. The presented scheme is obtained by using the second-order central divided difference of the spatial derivative to approximate the third-order spatial derivative, and the forward divided difference to approximate the temporal derivative, where the spatial derivative is approximated by the proposed quasi-interpolation operator. Compared to other numerical methods, the main advantages of our scheme are the higher accuracy and lower computational complexity. Meanwhile, the algorithm is very simple and easy to implement. Numerical experiments in this article also show that our scheme is feasible and valid.     

Optimal error estimate of a conformal Fourier pseudo‐spectral method for the damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In this article, a Fourier pseudospectral method, which preserves the conforal conservation la, is proposed for solving the damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Based on the energy method and the semi‐norm equivalence between the Fourier pseudospectral method and the finite difference method, a priori estimate for the new method is established, which shows that the proposed method is unconditionally convergent with order of in the discrete ‐norm, where is the time step and is the number of collocation points used in the spectral method. Some numerical results are addressed to confirm our theoretical analysis.

The Legendre spectral Galerkin method for the Volterra integral equations of the second kind is proposed in this paper. We provide a rigorous error analysis for the proposed method, which indicates that the numerical errors (in the L ₂ norm) will decay exponentially provided that the kernel function and the source function are sufficiently smooth. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.

Global well-posedness of Korteweg–de Vries equation in

We prove that the Korteweg–de Vries initial-value problem is globally well-posed in and the modified Korteweg–de Vries initial-value problem is globally well-posed in . The new ingredient is that we use directly the contraction principle to prove local well-posedness for KdV equation in H^−3/4 by constructing some special resolution spaces in order to avoid some ‘logarithmic divergence’ from the high–high interactions. Our local solution has almost the same properties as those for H^s (s>−3/4) solution which enable us to apply the I-method to extend it to a global solution.     

On the exact solutions,lie symmetry analysis,and conservation laws of Schamel–Korteweg–de Vries equation

In this work, we study the integrability aspects of the Schamel–Korteweg–de Vries equation that play an important role in studying the effect of electron trapping on the nonlinear interaction of ion‐acoustic waves by including a quasi‐potential. Lie symmetry analysis together with the simplest equation method and Kudryashov method is used to obtain exact traveling wave solutions for this equation. In addition, conservation laws are constructed using two different techniques, namely, the multiplier method and the new conservation theorem. Using the conservation laws and symmetries of the underlying equation, double reduction and exact solution were also constructed. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
