Bifractality of the devil’s staircase appearing in the burgers equation with brownian initial velocity

It is shown that the inverse Lagrangian map for the solution of the Burgers equation (in the inviscid limit) with Brownian initial velocity presents a bifractality (phase transition) similar to that of the Devil’s staircase for the standard triadic Cantor set. Both heuristic and rigorous derivations are given. It is explained why artifacts can easily mask this phenomenon in numerical simulations.     

Analytic Approximations for Soliton Solutions of Short-Wave Models for Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi Equations

In this paper, the short-wave model equations are investigated, which are associated with the Camassa- Holm （CH） and Degasperis Procesi （DP） shallow-water wave equations. Firstly, by means of the transformation of the independent variables and the travelling wave transformation, the partial differential equation is reduced to an ordinary differential equation. Secondly, the equation is solved by homotopy analysis method. Lastly, by the transformatioas back to the original independent variables, the solution of the original partial differential equation is obtained. The two types of solutions of the short-wave models are obtained in parametric form, one is one-cusp soliton for the CH equation while the other one is one-loop soliton for the DP equation. The approximate analytic solutions expressed by a series of exponential functions agree well with the exact solutions. It demonstrates the validity and great potential of homotopy analysis method for complicated nonlinear solitary wave problems.

An Approach for Solving Short-Wave Models for Camassa-Holm Equation and Degasperis-Procesi Equation

In this paper, to construct exact solution of nonlinear partial differential equation, an easy-to-use approach is proposed. By means of the transformation of the independent variables and the travelling wave transformation, the partial differential equation is reduced to an ordinary differential equation. To solve the ordinary differential equation, we assume the soliton solution in the explicit expression and obtain the travelling wave solution. By the transformation back to the original independent variables, the soliton solution of the original partial differential equation is derived. We investigate the short wave model for the Camassa-Holm equation and the Degasperis-Procesi equation respectively. One-cusp soliton solution of the Camassa-Holm equation is obtained. One-loop soliton solution of the Degasperis-Procesi equation is also obtained, the approximation of which in a closed form can be obtained firstly by the Adomian decomposition method. The obtained results in a parametric form coincide perfectly with those given in the present reference. This illustrates the efficiency and reliability of our approach.     

New Exact Travelling Wave Solutions to Hirota Equation and (1+1)-Dimensional Dispersive Long Wave Equation

Based on the computerized symbolic Maple, we study two important nonlinear evolution equations, i.e.,the Hirota equation and the (1+1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equation by use of a direct and unified algebraic method named the general projective Riccati equation method to find more exact solutions to nonlinear differential equations. The method is more powerful than most of the existing tanh method. New and more general form solutions are obtained. The properties of the new formal solitary wave solutions are shown by some figures.     

Lyapunov numbers and the local structure of attractors

We examine an M-dimensional mapping defined by a system of broken linear equations, whose Lyapunov numbers may be prespecified, and whose directions of stretching and compression are the coordinate directions. With K positive and M-K negative Lyapunov exponents, the attractor is locally the product of a K-dimensional continuum and an (M-K)-dimensional Cantor set; the latter is found to be a pseudo-product of Cantor sets or continua or Cantor sets and continua. When seen with finite resolution a pseudo-product may look like a true product, but its fractional dimension is less than the sum of the dimensions of its projections on the coordinate axes. Transitions in the number of Cantor sets and continua involved in the pseudo-product need not correspond to transitions in the integral part of the fractional dimension of the attractor. We speculate as to whether the attractors of continuous mappings and flows have similar structures.     

New Generalized Transformation Method and Its Application in Higher-Dimensional Soliton Equation

A new generalized transformation method is presented to find more exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equation.

The new method can be extended to other nonlinear partial differential equations in mathematical physics.

A New Differential Lattice Boltzmann Equation and Its Application to Simulate Incompressible Flows on Non-Uniform Grids

A new differential lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) is presented in this work, which is derived from the standard LBE by using Taylor series expansion only in spatial direction with truncation to the second-order derivatives. The obtained differential equation is not a wave-like equation. When a uniform grid is used, the new differential LBE can be exactly reduced to the standard LBE. The new differential LBE can be applied to solve irregular problems with the help of coordinate transformation. The present scheme inherits the merits of the standard LBE. The 2-D driven cavity flow is chosen as a test case to validate the present method. Favorable results are obtained and indicate that the present scheme has good prospects in practical applications.
