Uniqueness for critical nonlinear wave equations and wave maps via the energy inequality

We show uniqueness of sufficiently regular solutions to critical semilinear wave equations and wave maps in the (a priori) much larger class of distribution solutions with finite energy, assuming only that the energy is nonincreasing in time. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Exact solitary wave solutions of nonlinear wave equations

The hyperbolic function method for nonlinear wave equations is presented. In support of a computer algebra system, many exact solitary wave solutions of a class of nonlinear wave equations are obtained via the method. The method is based on the fact that the solitary wave solutions are essentially of a localized nature. Writing the solitary wave solutions of a nonlinear wave equation as the polynomials of hyperbolic functions, the nonlinear wave equation can be changed into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. The system can be solved via Wu Elimination or Gr?bner base method. The exact solitary wave solutions of the nonlinear wave equation are obtained including many new exact solitary wave solutions.     

Riemann theta functions periodic wave solutions and rational characteristics for the nonlinear equations

In this paper, based on a multidimensional Riemann theta function, a lucid and straightforward generalization of the Hirota-Riemann method is presented to explicitly construct multiperiodic Riemann theta functions periodic wave solutions for nonlinear equations such as the Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon-Sawada-Kotera equation and (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation. Among these periodic waves, the one-periodic waves are well-known cnoidal waves, their surface pattern is one-dimensional, and often they are used as one-dimensional models of periodic waves. The two-periodic waves are a direct generalization of one-periodic waves, their surface pattern is two-dimensional so that they have two independent spatial periods in two independent horizontal directions. A limiting procedure is presented to analyze in detail, asymptotic behavior of the multiperiodic waves and the relations between the periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions are rigorously established. This generalized Hirota-Riemann method can also be demonstrated on a class variety of nonlinear difference equations such as Toeplitz lattice equation.     

Time periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations

Existence and regularity of solutions of $$(1)u_{tt} - u_{xx} = \varepsilon K(x,t,u,u_t )0< x< \pi ,0 \leqslant t \leqslant 2\pi $$ together with the periodicity and boundary conditions $$(2)u(x,t + 2\pi ) = u(x,t),u(0,t) = 0 = u(\pi ,t)$$ is studied both with an without the dissipation u_t. A solution is a pair (χ, u). A main feature of interest here is an infinite dimensional biofurcation problem. Under appropriate conditions on K, global existence results are obtained by a combination of analytical and topological methods.     

New periodic wave solutions for nonlinear evolution equations with variable coefficients via mapping method

An extended mapping method with a computerized symbolic computation is used for constructing a new exact travelling wave solutions for nonlinear evolution equations arising in physics, namely, generalized Zakharov Kuznetsov equation with variable coefficients. As a result, many exact travelling wave solutions are obtained which include new periodic wave solution, trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions. The method is straightforward and concise, and it can also be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations with variable coefficients arising in mathematical physics. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

New conservative schemes with discrete variational derivatives for nonlinear wave equations

New conservative finite difference schemes for certain classes of nonlinear wave equations are proposed. The key tool there is “discrete variational derivative”, by which discrete conservation property is realized. A similar approach for the target equations was recently proposed by Furihata, but in this paper a different approach is explored, where the target equations are first transformed to the equivalent system representations which are more natural forms to see conservation properties. Applications for the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation and the so-called “good” Boussinesq equation are presented. Numerical examples reveal the good performance of the new schemes.     

Uniqueness and stability of solutions for Cauchy problem of nonlinear diffusion equations

The uniqueness of solutions for Cauchy problem of the form $$\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}} = \Delta A(u) + \sum\limits_{i = 1}^N {\frac{{\partial b^i (u)}}{{\partial x_i }} + c(u)} $$ is studied. It is proved that ifu ∈BVx and A(u) is strictly increasing, the solution is unique.     

Multidimensional nonlinear wave equations with multivalued solutions

We present the theory of breaking waves in nonlinear systems whose dynamics and spatial structure are described by multidimensional nonlinear hyperbolic wave equations. We obtain a general relation between systems of first-order quasilinear equations and nonlinear hyperbolic equations of higher orders, which, in particular, describe electromagnetic waves in a medium with nonlinear polarization of an arbitrary form. We use this approach to construct exact multivalued solutions of such equations and to study their spatial structure and dynamics. The results are generalized to a wide class of multidimensional equations such as d’Alembert equations, nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations, and nonlinear telegraph equations.     

Solitary wave and other solutions for nonlinear heat equations

A number of explicit solutions for the heat equation with a polynomial non-linearity and for the Fisher equation is presented. An extended class of non-linear heat equations admitting solitary wave solutions is described. The generalization of the Fisher equation is proposed whose solutions propagate with arbitrary ad hoc fixed velocity.     

Blow-up of solutions of some nonlinear wave equations

We analyze the problem of blow-up of global solutions of a semilinear wave equation with a potential and with a possible degeneration at infinity for nonnegative initial data with compact support. By using the nonlinear capacity method, we prove the theorem on the nonexistence of such a solution for a subcritical and the critical nonlinearity exponent.     

Exp-function method for traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations

In this paper, we apply the exp-function method to construct generalized solitary and periodic solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. The proposed technique is tested on the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) and Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Modified-Equal-Width (ZK-MEW) equations. These equations play a very important role in mathematical physics and engineering sciences. The suggested algorithm is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in these problems. Numerical results clearly indicate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed exp-function method.

Soliton solutions of a few nonlinear wave equations

This paper carries out the integration of a few nonlinear wave equations to obtain topological as well as non-topological soliton solutions. The mathematical techniques used to obtain the soliton solutions are He’s variational iteration method, the tanh method and the ansatz method. The nonlinear wave equations that are studied are coupled mKdV equations, Drinfeld-Sokolov equation and its generalized version. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to support the analytical solutions.     

Subharmonic solutions of nonlinear wave equations onS n

In this paper we study a nonlinear wave equation on Sⁿ with a nonlinear term 2-periodic in t. More precisely we give a Birkoff-Lewis type result of existence of periodic solutions localized near an equilibrium point, that is we search for distinct 2k-periodic solutions (subharmonics) of the wave equation, k, which have small amplitude and minimal period 2k.Work supported by M.U.R.S.T.
