This Letter deals with a generalized Camassa-Holm equation and a nonlinear dispersive equation by making use of a mathematical technique based on using integral factors for solving differential equations. The peakons, solitary patterns and periodic solutions are expressed analytically under various circumstances. The conditions that cause the qualitative change in the physical structures of the solutions are highlighted.     

Conservation Laws and Soliton Solutions for Generalized Seventh Order KdV Equation

With the assistance of the symbolic computation system Maple, rich higher order polynomial-type conservation laws and a sixth order t/x-dependent conservation law are constructed for a generalized seventh order nonlinear evolution equation by using a direct algebraic method. From the compatibility conditions that guaranteeing the existence of conserved densities, an integrable unnamed seventh order KdV-type equation is found. By introducing some nonlinear transformations, the one-, two-, and three-solition solutions as well as the solitary wave solutions are obtained.

Forced solitary waves and fronts past submerged obstacles

Herein, an efficient numerical method is presented to describe the flow of a liquid in an open channel with various types of bottom configurations. The method is developed for steady two-dimensional potential free surface flows. The resulting nonlinear problem is solved numerically by boundary integral equation methods. In addition weakly nonlinear solutions are derived. New solutions which complement those of Dias and Vanden-Broeck [J. Fluid Mech. 59, 93-102 (2004)] are presented. Furthermore some solutions for channel flows past dips in the bottom are discussed.     

A Comparison of the Performance of Limiters for Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin Methods

Discontinuities usually appear in solutions of nonlinear conservation laws even though the initial condition is smooth, which leads to great difficulty in computing these solutions numerically. The Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) methods are efficient methods for solving nonlinear conservation laws, which are high-order accurate and highly parallelizable, and can be easily used to handle complicated geometries and boundary conditions. An important component of RKDG methods for solving nonlinear conservation laws with strong discontinuities in the solution is a nonlinear limiter, which is applied to detect discontinuities and control spurious oscillations near such discontinuities. Many such limiters have been used in the literature on RKDG methods. A limiter contains two parts, first to identify the "troubled cells", namely, those cells which might need the limiting procedure, then to replace the solution polynomials in those troubled cells by reconstructed polynomials which maintain the original cell averages (conservation). [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 26 (2005), pp. 995-1013] focused on discussing the first part of limiters. In this paper, focused on the second part, we will systematically investigate and compare a few different reconstruction strategies with an objective of obtaining the most efficient and reliable reconstruction strategy. This work can help with the choosing of right limiters so one can resolve sharper discontinuities, get better numerical solutions and save the computational cost.

Bifurcation and solitary waves of the nonlinear wave equation with quartic polynomial potential

For the nonlinear wave equation with quartic polynomial potential, bifurcation and solitary waves are investigated. Based on the bifurcation and the energy integral of the two-dimensional dynamical system satisfied by the travelling waves, it is very interesting to find different sufficient and necessary conditions in terms of the bifurcation parameter for the existence and coexistence of bright, dark solitary waves and shock waves. The method of direct integration is developed to give all types of solitary wave solutions. Our method is simpler than other newly developed ones. Some results are similar to those obtained recently for the combined KdV－mKdV equation.

Unified treatment of the bound states of the Schioberg and the Eckart potentials using Feynman path integral approach

We obtain analytical expressions for the energy eigenvalues of both the Schioberg and Eckart potentials using an approximation of the centrifugal term.In order to determine the e-states solutions,we use the Feynman path integral approach to quantum mechanics.We show that by performing nonlinear space-time transformations in the radial path integral,we can derive a transformation formula that relates the original path integral to the Green function of a new quantum solvable system.The explicit expression of bound state energy is obtained and the associated eigenfunctions are given in terms of hypergeometric functions.We show that the Eckart potential can be derived from the Schioberg potential.The obtained results are compared to those produced by other methods and are found to be consistent.     

An efficient flexible-order model for 3D nonlinear water waves

The flexible-order, finite difference based fully nonlinear potential flow model described in [H.B. Bingham, H. Zhang, On the accuracy of finite difference solutions for nonlinear water waves, J. Eng. Math. 58 (2007) 211–228] is extended to three dimensions (3D). In order to obtain an optimal scaling of the solution effort multigrid is employed to precondition a GMRES iterative solution of the discretized Laplace problem. A robust multigrid method based on Gauss–Seidel smoothing is found to require special treatment of the boundary conditions along solid boundaries, and in particular on the sea bottom. A new discretization scheme using one layer of grid points outside the fluid domain is presented and shown to provide convergent solutions over the full physical and discrete parameter space of interest. Linear analysis of the fundamental properties of the scheme with respect to accuracy, robustness and energy conservation are presented together with demonstrations of grid independent iteration count and optimal scaling of the solution effort. Calculations are made for 3D nonlinear wave problems for steep nonlinear waves and a shoaling problem which show good agreement with experimental measurements and other calculations from the literature.

On the rate of convergence of the Legendre spectral collocation method for multi-dimensional nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations

While the approximate solutions of one-dimensional nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations with smooth kermels are now well understood,no systematic studies of the numerical solutions of their multi-dimensional counterparts exist.In this paper,we provide an efficient numerical approach for the multi-dimensional nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations based on the multi-variate Legendre-collocation approach.Spectral collocation methods for multi-dimensional nonlinear integral equations are known to cause major difficulties from a convergence analysis point of view.Consequently,rigorous error estimates are provided in the weighted Sobolev space showing the exponential decay of the numerical errors.The existence and uniqueness of the numerical solution are established.Numerical experiments are provided to support the theoretical convergence analysis.The results indicate that our spectral collocation method is more flexible with better accuracy than the existing ones.

A method is given for the derivation of covariant path integral solutions of quantum and stochastic processes in curved space.The correspondence between operator ordering schemes and ordinary functions in phase space is studied and applied to the explicit construction of a class of equivalent lattice representations of path integrals. It is shown that this class is uniquely related to a covariant functional integral. Some arguments forR/12 as the quantum mechanical curvature potential are given. Simple rules for nonlinear point transformations are stated. The connection with previous works is discussed.
