Ion acoustic solitary wave solutions of two‐dimensional nonlinear Kadomtsev–Petviashvili–Burgers equation in quantum plasma

Propagation of two‐dimensional nonlinear ion‐acoustic solitary waves and shocks in a dissipative quantum plasma is analyzed. By applying the reductive perturbation theory, the two‐dimensional ion acoustic solitary waves in a dissipative quantum plasma lead to a nonlinear Kadomtsev–Petviashvili–Burgers (KPB) equation. By implementing extended direct algebraic mapping, extended sech‐tanh, and extended direct algebraic sech methods, the ion solitary traveling wave solutions of the two‐dimensional nonlinear KPB equation are investigated. An analytical as well as numerical solution of the two‐dimensional nonlinear KPB equation is obtained and analyzed with the effects of external electric field and ion pressure.

High‐order finite difference schemes for numerical solutions of the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation

In this article, up to tenth‐order finite difference schemes are proposed to solve the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation. The schemes based on high‐order differences are presented using Taylor series expansion. To establish the numerical solutions of the corresponding equation, the high‐order schemes in space and a fourth‐order Runge‐Kutta scheme in time have been combined. Numerical experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the high‐order accuracy of the current algorithms with relatively minimal computational effort. The results showed that use of the present approaches in the simulation is very applicable for the solution of the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation. The current results are also seen to be more accurate than some results given in the literature. The proposed algorithms are seen to be very good alternatives to existing approaches for such physical applications. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Numerical and theoretical discussions for solving nonlinear generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony–Burgers equation based on the Legendre spectral element method

This article is devoted to solving numerically the nonlinear generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony–Burgers (GBBMB) equation that has several applications in physics and applied sciences. First, the time derivative is approximated by using a finite difference formula. Afterward, the stability and convergence analyses of the obtained time semi‐discrete are proven by applying the energy method. Also, it has been demonstrated that the convergence order in the temporal direction is O(dt) . Second, a fully discrete formula is acquired by approximating the spatial derivatives via Legendre spectral element method. This method uses Lagrange polynomial based on Gauss–Legendre–Lobatto points. An error estimation is also given in detail for full discretization scheme. Ultimately, the GBBMB equation in the one‐ and two‐dimension is solved by using the proposed method. Also, the calculated solutions are compared with theoretical solutions and results obtained from other techniques in the literature. The accuracy and efficiency of the mentioned procedure are revealed by numerical samples.     

On the convergence of operator splitting for the Rosenau–Burgers equation

We present convergence analysis of operator splitting methods applied to the nonlinear Rosenau–Burgers equation. The equation is first splitted into an unbounded linear part and a bounded nonlinear part and then operator splitting methods of Lie‐Trotter and Strang type are applied to the equation. The local error bounds are obtained by using an approach based on the differential theory of operators in Banach space and error terms of one and two‐dimensional numerical quadratures via Lie commutator bounds. The global error estimates are obtained via a Lady Windermere's fan argument. Lastly, a numerical example is studied to confirm the expected convergence order.

Chebyshev Wavelet collocation method for solving generalized Burgers–Huxley equation

In this paper, new and efficient numerical method, called as Chebyshev wavelet collocation method, is proposed for the solutions of generalized Burgers–Huxley equation. This method is based on the approximation by the truncated Chebyshev wavelet series. By using the Chebyshev collocation points, algebraic equation system has been obtained and solved. Approximate solutions of the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation are compared with exact solutions. These calculations demonstrate that the accuracy of the Chebyshev wavelet collocation solutions is quite high even in the case of a small number of grid points.

New Bounds for the Inhomogenous Burgers and the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equations

We give a substantially simplified proof of the near-optimal estimate on the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation from a previous paper of the third author, at the same time slightly improving the result. That result relied on two ingredients: a regularity estimate for capillary Burgers and an a novel priori estimate for the inhomogeneous inviscid Burgers equation, which works out that in many ways the conservative transport nonlinearity acts as a coercive term. It is the proof of the second ingredient that we substantially simplify by proving a modified Kármán-Howarth-Monin identity for solutions of the inhomogeneous inviscid Burgers equation. We show that this provides a new interpretation of recent results obtained by Golse and Perthame.     

Constructing rational and multi‐wave solutions to higher order NEEs via the Exp‐function method

In this paper, we present an application of some known generalizations of the Exp‐function method to the fifth‐order Burgers and to the seventh‐order Korteweg de Vries equations for the first time. The two examples show that the Exp‐function method can be an effective alternative tool for explicitly constructing rational and multi‐wave solutions with arbitrary parameters to higher order nonlinear evolution equations. Being straightforward and concise, as pointed out previously, this procedure does not require the bilinear representation of the equation considered. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A compact finite difference method for the solution of the generalized Burgers–Fisher equation

In this article, numerical solutions of the generalized Burgers–Fisher equation are obtained using a compact finite difference method with minimal computational effort. To verify this, a combination of a sixth‐order compact finite difference scheme in space and a low‐storage third‐order total variation diminishing Runge–Kutta scheme in time have been used. The computed results with the use of this technique have been compared with the exact solution to show the accuracy of it. The approximate solutions to the equation have been computed without transforming the equation and without using linearization. Comparisons indicate that there is a very good agreement between the numerical solutions and the exact solutions in terms of accuracy. The present method is seen to be a very good alternative to some existing techniques for realistic problems. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2010

Discrete Jacobi sub‐equation method for nonlinear differential–difference equations

We will propose a unified algebraic method to construct Jacobi elliptic function solutions to differential–difference equations (DDEs). The solutions to DDEs in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions sn, cn and dn have a unified form and can be presented through solving the associated algebraic equations. To illustrate the effectiveness of this method, we apply the algorithm to some physically significant DDEs, including the discrete hybrid equation, semi‐discrete coupled modified Korteweg–de Vries and the discrete Klein–Gordon equation, thereby generating some new exact travelling periodic solutions to the discrete Klein–Gordon equation. A procedure is also given to determine the polynomial expansion order of Jacobi elliptic function solutions to DDEs. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
