The extended homogeneous balance method is used to construct exact traveling wave solutions of the Boussinesq–Burgers equation, in which the homogeneous balance method is applied to solve the Riccati equation and the reduced nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Many exact traveling wave solutions of the Boussinesq–Burgers equation are successfully obtained.

A two-component Fornberg–Whitham equation is introduced as a model for water waves. The bifurcations of traveling wave solutions are studied. Parametric conditions to smooth soliton solution, kink solution, antikink solution and uncountable infinite many smooth periodic wave solutions are given. Some expressions for those solutions are presented.     

Existence of traveling wave solutions for diffusive predator–prey type systems

In this work we investigate the existence of traveling wave solutions for a class of diffusive predator–prey type systems whose each nonlinear term can be separated as a product of suitable smooth functions satisfying some monotonic conditions. The profile equations for the above system can be reduced as a four-dimensional ODE system, and the traveling wave solutions which connect two different equilibria or the small amplitude traveling wave train solutions are equivalent to the heteroclinic orbits or small amplitude periodic solutions of the reduced system. Applying the methods of Wazewski Theorem, LaSalle?s Invariance Principle and Hopf bifurcation theory, we obtain the existence results. Our results can apply to various kinds of ecological models.     

Time periodic traveling wave solutions for periodic advection–reaction–diffusion systems

We study the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic stability of time periodic traveling wave solutions to a class of periodic advection–reaction–diffusion systems. Under certain conditions, we prove that there exists a maximal wave speed c^?$c^{?}$ such that for each wave speed c≤c^?$c\le c^{?}$, there is a time periodic traveling wave connecting two periodic solutions of the corresponding kinetic system. It is shown that such a traveling wave is unique modulo translation and is monotone with respect to its co-moving frame coordinate. We also show that the traveling wave solutions with wave speed c≤c^?$c\le c^{?}$ are asymptotically stable in certain sense. In addition, we establish the nonexistence of time periodic traveling waves with speed c>c^?$c>c^{?}$.     

General expressions of peaked traveling wave solutions of CH-γ and CH equations

Smooth and non-smooth traveling wave solutions of some generalized Camassa–Holm equations

In this paper we employ two recent analytical approaches to investigate the possible classes of traveling wave solutions of some members of a recently-derived integrable family of generalized Camassa–Holm (GCH) equations. A recent, novel application of phase-plane analysis is employed to analyze the singular traveling wave equations of three of the GCH NLPDEs, i.e. the possible non-smooth peakon and cuspon solutions. One of the considered GCH equations supports both solitary (peakon) and periodic (cuspon) cusp waves in different parameter regimes. The second equation does not support singular traveling waves and the last one supports four-segmented, non-smooth M-wave solutions.Moreover, smooth traveling waves of the three GCH equations are considered. Here, we use a recent technique to derive convergent multi-infinite series solutions for the homoclinic orbits of their traveling-wave equations, corresponding to pulse (kink or shock) solutions respectively of the original PDEs. We perform many numerical tests in different parameter regime to pinpoint real saddle equilibrium points of the corresponding GCH equations, as well as ensure simultaneous convergence and continuity of the multi-infinite series solutions for the homoclinic orbits anchored by these saddle points. Unlike the majority of unaccelerated convergent series, high accuracy is attained with relatively few terms. We also show the traveling wave nature of these pulse and front solutions to the GCH NLPDEs.     

Propagation of traveling wave solutions to the Vakhnenko-Parkes dynamical equation via modified mathematical methods

In this paper, we investigate some new traveling wave solutions to Vakhnenko-Parkes equation via three modified mathematical methods. The derived solutions have been obtained including periodic and solitons solutions in the form of trigonometric, hyperbolic, and rational function solutions. The graphical representations of some solutions by assigning particular values to the parameters under prescribed conditions in each solutions and comparing of solutions with those gained by other authors indicate that these employed techniques are more effective, efficient and applicable mathematical tools for solving nonlinear problems in applied science.

Stability of traveling wave fronts for nonlocal reaction diffusion equations with delay北大核心CSCD

This paper is concerned with the stability of traveling wave fronts for reaction diffusion equations with nonlocal delay. We prove that, in the appropriate weighted L∞ spaces, the non-critical traveling wave fronts are globally exponentially stable, and the critical traveling wave fronts are globally algebraically stable. Moreover, we obtain the rates of convergence by weighted energy estimates. We apply these results to a host-vector disease model, the generalized Nicholson blowflies equation, and a modified vector disease model. ©, 2015, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Can a traveling wave connect two unstable states? The case of the nonlocal Fisher equation

This Note investigates the properties of the traveling waves solutions of the nonlocal Fisher equation. The existence of such solutions has been proved recently in Berestycki et al. (2009) [3] but their asymptotic behavior was still unclear. We use here a new numerical approximation of these traveling waves which shows that some traveling waves connect the two homogeneous steady states 0 and 1, which is a striking fact since 0 is dynamically unstable and 1 is unstable in the sense of Turing.     

Long-period limit of exact periodic traveling wave solutions for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We study the periodic traveling wave solutions of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLS). It is known that DNLS has two types of solitons on the whole line; one has exponential decay and the other has algebraic decay. The latter corresponds to the soliton for the massless case. In the new global results recently obtained by Fukaya, Hayashi and Inui [15], the properties of two-parameter of the solitons are essentially used in the proof, and especially the soliton for the massless case plays an important role. To investigate further properties of the solitons, we construct exact periodic traveling wave solutions which yield the solitons on the whole line including the massless case in the long-period limit. Moreover, we study the regularity of the convergence of these exact solutions in the long-period limit. Throughout the paper, the theory of elliptic functions and elliptic integrals is used in the calculation.     

Construction of traveling wave solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional modified KdV-KP equation

Traveling wave solutions have played a vital role in demonstrating the wave character of nonlinear problems emerging in the field of mathematical sciences and engineering. To depict the nature of propagation of the nonlinear waves in nature, a range of nonlinear evolution equations has been proposed and investigated in the existing literature. In this article, solitary and traveling periodic wave solutions for the (2 + 1)-dimensional modified KdV-KP equation are derived by employing an ansatz method, named the enhanced (G′/G)-expansion method. For this continued equation, abundant solitary wave solutions and nonlinear periodic wave solutions, along with some free parameters, are obtained. We have derived the exact expressions for the solitary waves that arise in the continuum-modified KdV-KP model. We study the significance of parameters numerically that arise in the obtained solutions. These parameters play an important role in the physical structure and propagation directions of the wave that characterizes the wave pattern. We discuss the relation between velocity and parameters and illustrate them graphically. Our numerical analysis suggests that the taller solitons are narrower than shorter waves and can travel faster. In addition, graphical representations of some obtained solutions along with their contour plot and wave train profiles are presented. The speed, as well as the profile of these solitary waves, is highly sensitive to the free parameters. Our results establish that the continuum-modified KdV-KP system supports solitary waves having different shapes and speeds for different values of the parameters.     

On traveling wave solutions to combined KdV–mKdV equation and modified Burgers–KdV equation

Whitham modulation theory for the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation and stability analysis of its periodic traveling wave solutions

We derive the Whitham modulation equations for the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation via a multiple scales expansion and averaging two conservation laws over one oscillation period of its periodic traveling wave solutions. We then use the Whitham modulation equations to study the transverse stability of the periodic traveling wave solutions. We find that all periodic solutions traveling along the first spatial coordinate are linearly unstable with respect to purely transversal perturbations, and we obtain an explicit expression for the growth rate of perturbations in the long wave limit. We validate these predictions by linearizing the equation around its periodic solutions and solving the resulting eigenvalue problem numerically. We also calculate the growth rate of the solitary waves analytically. The predictions of Whitham modulation theory are in excellent agreement with both of these approaches. Finally, we generalize the stability analysis to periodic waves traveling in arbitrary directions and to perturbations that are not purely transversal, and we determine the resulting domains of stability and instability.

Using the methods of dynamical systems for the (n 1)-dimensional multiple sine-Gordon equation, the existences of uncountably infinite many periodic wave solutions and breaking bounded wave solutions axe obtained. For the double sine-Gordon equation, the exact explicit parametric representations of the bounded traveling solutions are given. To guarantee the existence of the above solutions, all parameter conditions are determined.     

Coupling Bäcklund trasnsformation of Riccati equation and division theorem method for traveling wave solutions of some class of NLPDEs

In this paper, a effective method for searching infinite sequence periodic and solitary wave solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) is proposed. A simple transformation technique and division theorem are used to reduce some class of NLPDEs to the Riccati equation, and then the infinite sequence periodic and solitary wave solutions of some class of NLPDEs are constructed by using Bäcklund transformation of Riccati equation and nonlinear superposition principle. As illustrative examples, we obtain the infinite sequence travelling-wave solutions of the three special equations, respectively.
