In this paper, we apply He''s Variational iteration method (VIM) for solving nonlinear Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation. By using this method three different cases of Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation have been discussed. Comparison of the obtained result with exact solutions shows that the method used is an effective and highly promising method for solving different cases of nonlinear Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation.     

On bounded solutions of transport equation solved with a spectral method

In this article, a spectral method accompanied by finite difference method has been proposed for solving a boundary value problem that accompanies a stationary transport equation. We also prove that the solution is bounded by a value that depends of the source function. The accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed method are verified with the help of a numerical example. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2012     

Pfaffian solutions to a (3+1)-dimensional generalized B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation and its modified counterpart

A class of exact Pfaffian solutions to a (3+1)-dimensional generalized B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation is obtained. A set of sufficient conditions consisting of systems of linear partial differential equations involving free parameters is generated to guarantee that the Pfaffian solves the equation. A Bäcklund transformation of the equation is presented. The equation is transformed into a set of bilinear equations, and a few classes of traveling wave solutions, rational solutions and Pfaffian solutions to the extended bilinear equations are furnished. Examples of the Pfaffian solutions are explicitly computed, and a few solutions are plotted.     

A new rational auxiliary equation method and exact solutions of a generalized Zakharov system

A new rational auxiliary equation method for obtaining exact traveling wave solutions of constant coefficient nonlinear partial differential equations of evolution is proposed. Its effectiveness is evinced by obtaining exact solutions of a generalized Zakharov system, some of which are new. It is shown that the G^′/G and the generalized projective Ricatti expansion methods are special cases of the auxiliary equation method. Further, due the solutions obtained, four other new and practicable rational methods are deduced.

In this paper, we consider Newton’s method and Bernoulli’s method for a quadratic matrix equation arising from an overdamped vibrating system.

Moreover, we show that Newton’s method and Bernoulli’s method with an initial zero matrix converge to the primary solvent under the proposed sufficient condition.

A new transformation of Burger’s equation for an exact solution in a bounded region necessary for certain boundary conditions

In this work, the transient analytic solution is found for the initial-boundary-value Burgers equation in 0?x?L. The boundary conditions are a homogeneous Dirichlet condition at x=0 and a constant total flux at x=L. The technique used consists of applying the transformation that reduces Burgers equation to a linear diffusion-advection equation. Previous work on this equation in a bounded region has only applied the Cole-Hopf transformation , which transforms Burgers equation to the linear diffusion equation. The Cole-Hopf transformation can only solve Burgers equation with constant Dirichlet boundary conditions, or time-dependent Dirichlet boundary conditions of the form u(0,t)=F₁(t) and u(L,t)=F₂(t),0?x?L. In this work, it is shown that the Cole-Hopf transformation will not solve Burgers equation in a bounded region with the boundary conditions dealt with in this work.
