By introducing the fractional derivatives in the sense of Caputo, we use the adomian decomposition method to construct the approximate solutions for the cubic nonlinear fractional Schordinger equation with time and space fractional derivatives. The exact solution of the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation is given as a special case of our approximate solution. This method is efficient and powerful in solving wide classes of nonlinear evolution fractional order equation.

Discrete exact solutions to some nonlinear differential-difference equations via the (G′/G)-expansion method

We extended the (G′/G)-expansion method to two well-known nonlinear differential-difference equations, the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the Toda lattice equation, for constructing traveling wave solutions. Discrete soliton and periodic wave solutions with more arbitrary parameters, as well as discrete rational wave solutions, are revealed. It seems that the utilized method can provide highly accurate discrete exact solutions to NDDEs arising in applied mathematical and physical sciences.

In this article, new extension of the generalized and improved (G′/G)-expansion method is proposed for constructing more general and a rich class of new exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. To demonstrate the novelty and motivation of the proposed method, we implement it to the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. The new method is oriented toward the ease of utilize and capability of computer algebraic system and provides a more systematic, convenient handling of the solution process of nonlinear equations. Further, obtained solutions disclose a wider range of applicability for handling a large variety of nonlinear partial differential equations.

Exact solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili by Zhang [Huiqun Zhang, A note on exact complex travelling wave solutions for (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, Appl. Math. Comput. 216 (2010) 2771-2777] are considered. To look for “new types of exact solutions travelling wave solutions” of equation Zhang has used the G′/G-expansion method. We demonstrate that there is the general solution for the reduction by Zhang from the (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation and all solutions by Zhang are found as partial cases from the general solution.     

Solitary wave solutions of higher-order NLSE with Raman and self-steepening effect in a cubic–quintic–septic medium

We find bright and dark solitary wave solutions for the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation with cubic–quintic–septic terms adopting the ansatz solution of Li et al. [Li Z, Li L, Tian H, Zhou G. Phys. New types of solitary wave solutions for the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Phys Rev Lett 2000;84(18):4096–99.] which may describe propagation of pulses upto the order of 10 fs in a non-Kerr media. In this context, we have taken into account both the Raman and the self-steepening effect. All the solitary wave parameters and the parametric conditions for the solitary wave solutions are worked out.     

Exact Solutions and Integrability of the Duffing – Van der Pol Equation

The force-free Duffing–Van der Pol oscillator is considered. The truncated expansions for finding the solutions are used to look for exact solutions of this nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Conditions on parameter values of the equation are found to have the linearization of the Duffing–Van der Pol equation. The Painlevé test for this equation is used to study the integrability of the model. Exact solutions of this differential equation are found. In the special case the approach is simplified to demonstrate that some well-known methods can be used for finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations. The first integral of the Duffing–Van der Pol equation is found and the general solution of the equation is given in the special case for parameters of the equation. We also demonstrate the efficiency of the method for finding the first integral and the general solution for one of nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations.     

Bifurcations and exact traveling wave solutions of the equivalent complex short-pulse equations

In this paper, we study the traveling wave solutions for a complex short-pulse equation of both focusing and defocusing types, which governs the propagation of ultrashort pulses in nonlinear optical fibers. It can be viewed as an analog of the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation in the ultrashort-pulse regime. The corresponding traveling wave systems of the equivalent complex short-pulse equations are two singular planar dynamical systems with four singular straight lines. By using the method of dynamical systems, bifurcation diagrams and explicit exact parametric representations of the solutions are given, including solitary wave solution, periodic wave solution, peakon solution, periodic peakon solution and compacton solution under different parameter conditions.     

On decay of solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We present general results on exponential decay of finite energy solutions to stationary nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Under certain natural assumptions we show that any such solution is continuous and vanishes at infinity. This allows us to interpret the solution as a finite multiplicity eigenfunction of a certain linear Schrödinger operator and, hence, apply well-known results on the decay of eigenfunctions.

     

Solitary wave solutions and modulation instability analysis of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with higher order dispersion and nonlinear terms

We report exact bright and dark solitary wave solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) in cubic–quintic non-Kerr medium adopting phase–amplitude ansatz method. We have found the solitary wave parameters along with the constraints under which bright or dark solitons may exist in such a media. Furthermore, we have also studied the modulation instability analysis both in anomalous and normal dispersion regime. The role of fourth order dispersion, cubic–quintic nonlinear parameter and self-steeping parameter on modulation instability gain has been investigated.     

Exact and traveling-wave solutions for convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power-law nonlinearity

Based on the simplest equation method, we propose exact and traveling-wave solutions for a nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power law nonlinearity. Such equation can be considered as a generalization of the Fisher equation and other well-known convection-diffusion-reaction equations. Two important cases are considered. The case of density-independent diffusion and the case of density-dependent diffusion. When the parameters of the equation are constant, the Bernoulli equation is used as the simplest equation. This leads to new traveling-wave solutions. Moreover, some wavefront solutions can be derived from the traveling-wave ones. The case of time-dependent velocity in the convection term is studied also. We derive exact solutions of the equations by using the Riccati equation as simplest equation. The exact and traveling-wave solutions presented in this paper can be used to explain many biological and physical phenomena.     

A simple but efficient approach for studying on nonlinear differential-difference equations

By applying the new method, we have studied the saturable discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation (SDNLSE) and obtained a number of new exact localized solutions, including discrete bright soliton solution, dark soliton solution, bright and dark soliton solution, alternating phase bright soliton solution, alternating phase dark soliton solution and alternating phase bright and dark soliton solution, provided that a special relation is bound on the coefficients of the equation among the solutions obtained.     

Exact solutions of a two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In the present study, we converted the resulting nonlinear equation for the evolution of weakly nonlinear hydrodynamic disturbances on a static cosmological background with self-focusing in a two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Applying the function transformation method, the NLS equation was transformed to an ordinary differential equation, which depended only on one function ξ and can be solved. The general solution of the latter equation in ζ leads to a general solution of NLS equation. A new set of exact solutions for the two-dimensional NLS equation is obtained.     

Exact and explicit solutions for a nonlinear extended iterative differential equation

This paper is concerned with a nonlinear iterative functional differential equation x′(z) = 1/x(p(z) + bx′(z)). By constructing a convergent power series solution of an auxiliary equation, analytic solutions of the original equation are obtained. We discuss not only in the general case, but also in critical cases, especially for α given in Schröder transformation is a root of the unity. And in case (H4), we dealt with the equation under the Brjuno condition, which is weaker than the Diophantine condition. Moreover, the exact and explicit solution of the original equation has been investigated for the first time. Such equations are important in both applications and the theory of iterations.     

Global Well-Posedness for Cubic NLS with Nonlinear Damping

We study the Cauchy problem for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, perturbed by (higher order) dissipative nonlinearities. We prove global in-time existence of solutions for general initial data in the energy space. In particular we treat the energy-critical case of a quintic dissipation in three space dimensions.     

On the “Destruction” of Solutions of Nonlinear Wave Equations of Sobolev Type with Cubic Sources

We consider model three-dimensional wave nonlinear equations of Sobolev type with cubic sources, and foremost, model three-dimensional equations of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony and Rosenau types with model cubic sources. An essentially three-dimensional nonlinear equation of spin waves with cubic source is also studied. For these equations, we investigate the first initial boundary-value problem in a bounded domain with smooth boundary. We prove local solvability in the strong generalized sense and, for an equation of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony type with source, we prove the unique solvability of a “weakened” solution. We obtain sufficient conditions for the “destruction” of the solutions of the problems under consideration. These conditions have the sense of a “large” value of the initial perturbation in the norms of certain Banach spaces. Finally, for an equation of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony type, we prove the “failure” of a “weakened” solution in finite time.     

A remark on triviality for the two-dimensional stochastic nonlinear wave equation

We consider the two-dimensional stochastic damped nonlinear wave equation (SdNLW) with the cubic nonlinearity, forced by a space-time white noise. In particular, we investigate the limiting behavior of solutions to SdNLW with regularized noises and establish triviality results in the spirit of the work by Hairer et al. (2012). More precisely, without renormalization of the nonlinearity, we establish the following two limiting behaviors; (i) in the strong noise regime, we show that solutions to SdNLW with regularized noises tend to 0 as the regularization is removed and (ii) in the weak noise regime, we show that solutions to SdNLW with regularized noises converge to a solution to a deterministic damped nonlinear wave equation with an additional mass term.

A rational generalization of Fan’s method and its application to generalized shallow water wave equations

In this paper we employ a rational expansion to generalize Fan’s method for exact travelling wave solutions for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). To verify the reliability of the proposed method, the generalized shallow water wave (GSWW) equation has been investigated as an example. Kinds of new exact travelling wave solutions of a rational form have been obtained. This indicates that the proposed method provides a more general result for exact solution of nonlinear equations.
