On the chaotic properties of the von Foerster-Lasota equation

In this article we present a different approach to some of the results published in our recent paper (Brze?niak and Dawidowicz in Semigroup Forum, 78(1):118–137, 2009). This new approach is based on a deep result from a paper (Ergod. Theory Dyn. Syst. 17(4):793–819, 1997) by Desch Schappacher and Webb.     

On solutions to the Degasperis-Procesi equation

In this paper we consider a new integrable equation (the Degasperis-Procesi equation) derived recently by Degasperis and Procesi (1999) [3]. Analogous to the Camassa-Holm equation, this new equation admits blow-up phenomenon and infinite propagation speed. First, we give a proof for the blow-up criterion established by Zhou (2004) in [12]. Then, infinite propagation speed for the Degasperis-Procesi equation is proved in the following sense: the corresponding solution u(x,t) with compactly supported initial datum u₀(x) does not have compact x-support any longer in its lifespan. Moreover, we show that for any fixed time t>0 in its lifespan, the corresponding solution u(x,t) behaves as: u(x,t)=L(t)e−x for x?1, and u(x,t)=l(t)ex for x?−1, with a strictly increasing function L(t)>0 and a strictly decreasing function l(t)<0 respectively.

A conjecture on the stability of the periodic solutions of Ricker’s equation with periodic parameters

In this work, we propose a conjecture about the stability of the periodic solutions of the Ricker equation with periodic parameters, which goes beyond the existing theory, and for the special case of period-two parameters we analytically show the conjecture is true. For this case we show that the stability region in parameter space obtained from the conjecture is larger than a previously proposed stability region. The period-three case is investigated numerically and similar extensions are realized. This suggests that the current theory cited in this paper, while giving sufficient conditions for stability is far from optimal.     

New periodic solitary-wave solutions for the Benjiamin Ono equation

In this paper, the new periodic solitary wave and doubly periodic solutions for (1 + 1)-dimensional Benjiamin Ono equation are obtained, using the bilinear method and extended homoclinic test approach. These results demonstrate that the integrable system has richly dynamical behavior even if it is (1 + 1)-dimensional.     

Lame equation and asymptotic higher-order periodic solutions to nonlinear evolution equations

Based on an auxiliary Lame equation and the perturbation method, a direct method is proposed to construct asymptotic higher-order periodic solutions to some nonlinear evolution equations. It is shown that some asymptotic higher-order periodic solutions to some nonlinear evolution equations in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions are explicitly obtained with the aid of symbolic computation.

In the paper, we first show the existence of global periodic conservative solutions to the Cauchy problem for a periodic modified two-component Camassa-Holm equation. Then we prove that these solutions, which depend continuously on the initial data, construct a semigroup.     

New kinds of solitons and periodic solutions to the generalized KdV equation

In this work, the sine‐cosine method, the tanh method, and specific schemes that involve hyperbolic functions are used to study solitons and periodic solutions governed by the generalized KdV equation. New solutions are determined by using the hyperbolic functions schemes. The study introduces new approaches to handle nonlinear PDEs in the solitary wave theory. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the periodic solutions of a forced second-order equation

Summary We study the equations for two-dimensional irrotational motion induced in a rectangular tank of water which is forced to oscillate horizontally in a periodic fashion (shallow water sloshing). The problem reduces to a second-order non-autonomous ordinary differential equation. We rigorously show the existence of many solutions obtained previously by numerical computations, and in addition we show that there are many other bounded solutions. We use simple shooting to obtain irregular solutions of the kind obtained by the methods of dynamical systems. In addition, we obtain a kind of kneading theory whereby we can order the initial conditions according to the pattern of spikes exhibited by the solutions.
