Lie Group Analysis and Invariant Solutions for Nonlinear Time-Fractional Diffusion-Convection Equations

On the basis of Lie group theory,(1 + N)-dimensional time-fractional partial differential equations are studied and the expression of η_α~0 is given. As applications, two special forms of nonlinear time-fractional diffusionconvection equations are investigated by Lie group analysis method. Then the equations are reduced into fractional ordinary differential equations under group transformations. Therefore, the invariant solutions and some exact solutions are obtained.     

Invariant Sets and Exact Solutions to Higher-Dimensional Wave Equations

The invariant sets and exact solutions of the （1 ＋ 2）-dimensional wave equations are discussed. It is shown that there exist a class of solutions to the equations which belong to the invariant set E0 = {u ： ux = vxF（u）,uy = vyF（u） }. This approach is also developed to solve （1 ＋ N）-dimensional wave equations.     

Group Invariant Solutions Without Transversality

We present a generalization of Lie's method for finding the group invariant solutions to a system of partial differential equations. Our generalization relaxes the standard transversality assumption and encompasses the common situation where the reduced differential equations for the group invariant solutions involve both fewer dependent and independent variables. The theoretical basis for our method is provided by a general existence theorem for the invariant sections, both local and global, of a bundle on which a finite dimensional Lie group acts. A simple and natural extension of our characterization of invariant sections leads to an intrinsic characterization of the reduced equations for the group invariant solutions for a system of differential equations. The characterization of both the invariant sections and the reduced equations are summarized schematically by the kinematic and dynamic reduction diagrams and are illustrated by a number of examples from fluid mechanics, harmonic maps, and general relativity. This work also provides the theoretical foundations for a further detailed study of the reduced equations for group invariant solutions. Received: 16 September 1999 / Accepted: 4 February 2000     

Implicit Solutions to Some Lorentz Invariant Nonlinear Equations Revisited

Abstract

An implicit solution to the vanishing of the so-called Universal Field Equation, or Bordered Hessian, which dates at least as far back as 1935 [1] is revived, and derived from a much later form of the solution. A linear ansatz for an implicit solution of second order partial differential equations, previously shown to have wide applicability [3] is at the heart of the Chaundy solution, and is shown to yield solutions even to the linear wave equation.     

The Quantum Group Theoretic Approach to Heavy-Ion Resonances

We suggest the quantum group as dynamical symmetry group of heavy-ion resonance systems. The rotation-vibrational spectra of the systems are given by the quantum groun theoretic approach without going to the detail of the bonding potential of the systems. The corresponding wave functions are obtained. Using the analytic formula of this approach, we fit the experimental data of ¹²C+¹²C and ¹²C+¹⁶O resonance systems in high accuracies. The pseudepotential is found in the quantum group symmetric model and discussed in comparison with the conventional nonlinear potential model.     

Blow-up Criteria of Classical Solutions of Three-Dimensional Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Equations

In this paper we consider the isentropic compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in three space dimensions, and establish a blow-up criterion of classical solutions, which depends on the gradient of the velocity and magnetic field.     

A Constructive Approach to the Soliton Solutions of Integrable Quadrilateral Lattice Equations

Scalar multidimensionally consistent quadrilateral lattice equations are studied. We explore a confluence between the superposition principle for solutions related by the Bäcklund transformation, and the method of solving a Riccati map by exploiting two known particular solutions. This leads to an expression for the N-soliton-type solutions of a generic equation within this class. As a particular instance we give an explicit N-soliton solution for the primary model, which is Adler’s lattice equation (or Q4).     

A Lie Theoretic Approach to Renormalization

Motivated by recent work of Connes and Marcolli, based on the Connes–Kreimer approach to renormalization, we augment the latter by a combinatorial, Lie algebraic point of view. Our results rely both on the properties of the Dynkin idempotent, one of the fundamental Lie idempotents in the theory of free Lie algebras, and on properties of Hopf algebras encapsulated in the notion of associated descent algebras. Besides leading very directly to proofs of the main combinatorial aspects of the renormalization procedures, the new techniques give rise to an algebraic approach to the Galois theory of renormalization. In particular, they do not depend on the geometry underlying the case of dimensional regularization and the Riemann–Hilbert correspondence. This is illustrated with a discussion of the BPHZ renormalization scheme.     

Invariant Sets and Exact Solutions to Nonlinear Diffusion Equations with x-Dependent Convection and Absorption

In this paper, we introduce a new invariant set Eo={u：ux=f＇（x）F（u）＋ε[g＇（x）-f＇（x）g（x）]F（u）×exp（-∫^u1/F（z）dz）}where f and g are some smooth functions of x, ε is a constant, and F is a smooth function to be determined. The invariant sets and exact sohltions to nonlinear diffusion equation ut = （ D（u）ux）x ＋ Q（x, u）ux ＋ P（x, u）, are discussed. It is shown that there exist several classes of solutions to the equation that belong to the invariant set Eo.

In this paper, we introduce a new invariant set ˜E₀={u:u_x=f^ˊ(x)F(u)+ε [g^ˊ(x) -f^ˊ(x)g(x)]F(u)exp(-∫^u(1/F(z))dz), where f and g are some smooth functions of x, ε is a constant, and F is a smooth function to be determined. The invariant sets and exact solutions to nonlinear diffusion equation u_t=(D(u)u_x)_x+Q(x,u)u_x+P(x,u), are discussed. It is shown that there exist several classes of solutions to the equation that belong to the invariant set ˜E₀.     

Field Theoretic Renormalization Group and the Scaling Behaviour in Polymer Solutions

Quantum field theoretic regularization methods are used to regularize the set of end-to-end chain correlation functions. The renormalization group invariance of the polymer theory allows to calculate the parameters g and S which in the regularized theory take on the role of z and Nl² of the two parameter theory accordingly. The second virial coefficient A₂ and the mean-square end-to-end polymer distance R² of a polymer solution are represented in powers of g. g and S are evaluated up to order ?² (? = 4 - d, where d is the space dimension). A₂ and R² are calculated up to order g² and g, respectively, and compared with results obtained by ELDERFIELD and des CLOIZEAUX .     

Global Solutions to the Three-Dimensional Full Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Flows

The equations of the three-dimensional viscous, compressible, and heat conducting magnetohydrodynamic flows are considered in a bounded domain. The viscosity coefficients and heat conductivity can depend on the temperature. A solution to the initial-boundary value problem is constructed through an approximation scheme and a weak convergence method. The existence of a global variational weak solution to the three-dimensional full magnetohydrodynamic equations with large data is established.     

A Direct Algorithm Maple Package of One-Dimensional Optimal System for Group Invariant Solutions

To construct the one-dimensional optimal system of finite dimensional Lie algebra automatically, we develop a new Maple package One Optimal System. Meanwhile, we propose a new method to calculate the adjoint transformation matrix and find all the invariants of Lie algebra in spite of Killing form checking possible constraints of each classification.Besides, a new conception called invariance set is raised. Moreover, this Maple package is proved to be more efficiency and precise than before by applying it to some classic examples.

Vanishing Shear Viscosity Limit in the Magnetohydrodynamic Equations

We study an initial boundary value problem for the equations of plane magnetohydrodynamic compressible flows, and prove that as the shear viscosity goes to zero, global weak solutions converge to a solution of the original equations with zero shear viscosity. As a by-product, this paper improves the related results obtained by Frid and Shelukhin for the case when the magnetic effect is neglected.

Group Invariant Solutions of the Plastic Torsion of Rod with Variable Cross Section

Based on the theory of Lie group analysis, the full plastic torsion of rod with arbitrary shaped cross sections that consists in the equilibrium equation and the non-linear Saint Venant-Mises yield criterion is studied. Full symmetry group admitted by the equilibrium equation and the yield criterion is a finitely generated Lie group with ten parameters. Several subgroups of the full symmetry group are used to generate invariants and group invariant solutions. Moreover, physical explanations of each group invariant solution are discussed by all appropriate transformations. The methodology and solution techniques used belong to the analytical realm.
