New Similarity Reductions and Compacton Solutions for Boussinesq-Like Equations with Fully Nonlinear Dispersion

In this paper, similarity reductions of Boussinesq-like equations with nonlinear dispersion (simply called B(m,n) equations) u_tt=(uⁿ)_xx+(u^m)_xxxx, which is a generalized model of Boussinesq equation u_tt=(u²)_xx+u_xxxx and modified Bousinesq equation u_tt=(u³)_xx+u_xxxx, are considered by using the direct reduction method. As a result, several new types of similarity reductions are found. Based on the reduction equations and some simple transformations, we obtain the solitary wave solutions and compacton solutions (which are solitary waves with the property that after colliding with other compacton solutions, they re-emerge with the same coherent shape) of B(1,n) equations and B(m,m) equations, respectively.

It is shown that there exist several classes of solutions to the equation that belong to the invariant set ˜E₀.     

Nonlinear Response of Granular Composite Mediurn

In this paper, the linear and nonlinear responses of granular composite medium consisting of spherical grains with coating shells embedded in a host medium are studied. We assume that the shell and the host medium are linear (the dielectric constants of which are ε⁰ and ε_m⁰ respectively), while the spherical grain is nonlinear (the diektric constant of which is ε_c = ε_c⁰ + χ_c|E_c|^β). Starting from the definition (D) = ε_eff and taking in to account the corrections to the local field within the spherical grains, expressions for the linear and high-order nonlinear susceptibilities are presented.

N-fold Darboux Transformation for Integrable Couplings of AKNS Equations

For the integrable couplings of Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur(ICAKNS) equations, N-fold Darboux transformation(DT) TN, which is a 4 × 4 matrix, is constructed in this paper. Each element of this matrix is expressed by a ratio of the(4N + 1)-order determinant and 4N-order determinant of eigenfunctions. By making use of these formulae,the determinant expressions of N-transformed new solutions p~([N ]), q~([N ]), r~([N ])and s~([N ])are generated by this N-fold DT.Furthermore, when the reduced conditions q =-p*and s =-r*are chosen, we obtain determinant representations of N-fold DT and N-transformed solutions for the integrable couplings of nonlinear Schr?dinger(ICNLS) equations.Starting from the zero seed solutions, one-soliton solutions are explicitly given as an example.     

Critical Behavior of Nonlinear Properties in Percolating Superconductor/Nonlinear-Normal Conductor Networks

The critical behavior of nonlinear response in random networks of superconductor/nonlinear-normal conductors below the percolation threshold is investigated. Two cases are examined: (i) The nonlinear normal conductor has weakly nonlinear current (i)-voltage (ν) response of the form ν = ri + bi^α (bi^α-1《t and α > 1). Both the crossover current density and the crossover electric field are introduced to mark the transition between the linear and nonlinear responses of the network and are found to have power-law dependencies ～(f_c - f)^H and ～(f_c - f)^M as the percolation threshold f_c of the superconductor is approached from below, where H = ν_d - s_d > 0, M = ν_d > 0, ν_d and s_d are the correlation length exponent and the critical exponent of linear conductivity in percolating S/N system respectively; (ii) The nonlinear-normal conductor has strongly nonlinear ν-i response, i.e., i = X^να The effective nonlinear response X_e, behaves as X_e ～(f_c - f)^-W(α), where W ( α ) is the critical exponent of the nonlinear response x_e(α) and is α-dependent in general. The results are compared with recently published data, reasonable agreement is found.     

Solution of ODE u＂ ＋ p（u）（u＇）^2＋ q（u） = 0 and Applications to Classifications of All Single Travelling Wave Solutions to Some Nonlinear Mathematical Physics Equations

Under the travelling wave transformation, some nonlinear partial differential equations such as Camassa-Holm equation, High-order KdV equation, etc., are reduced to an integrable ODE expressed by u＂ ＋p（u）（u＇）^2 ＋ q（u） = 0 whose generai solution can be given. Furthermore, combining complete discrimination system for polynomiai, the classifications of all single travelling wave solutions to these equations are obtained. The equation u＂＋p（u）（u＇）^2＋q（u） = 0 includes the equation （u＇）^2 = f（u） as a special case, so the proposed method can be also applied to a large number of nonlinear equations. These complete results cannot be obtained by any indirect method.

Initial Phase Dependence of the Soliton Decay Rate for the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation with a Lossy Term

By using a recursion relation from the x-discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a "lossy" term, we prove that the solitons propagate along the fiber in the decay rate exp -(I+ M₀)Γx if the "initial" input phase (at x = 0) is taken as the form M_oΓt²/2α_l. The same conclusions can also be obtained from the exact numerical calculations.     

Degenerate Solutions of the Nonlinear Self-Dual Network Equation

The N-fold Darboux transformation(DT) T_n~([N]) of the nonlinear self-dual network equation is given in terms of the determinant representation. The elements in determinants are composed of the eigenvalues λ_j(j = 1, 2..., N)and the corresponding eigenfunctions of the associated Lax equation. Using this representation, the N-soliton solutions of the nonlinear self-dual network equation are given from the zero "seed" solution by the N-fold DT. A general form of the N-degenerate soliton is constructed from the determinants of N-soliton by a special limit λ_j →λ_1 and by using the higher-order Taylor expansion. For 2-degenerate and 3-degenerate solitons, approximate orbits are given analytically,which provide excellent fit of exact trajectories. These orbits have a time-dependent "phase shift", namely ln(t~2).

In this paper, the Adomian decomposition method is developed for the numerical solutions of a class of nonlinear evolution equations with nonlinear term of any order, utt＋auxx ＋ bu ＋ cu^p＋ du^2p-1=0, which contains some important famous equations. When setting the initial conditions in different forms, some new generalized numerical solutions： numerical hyperbolic solutions, numerical doubly periodic solutions are obtained. The numerical solutions are compared with exact solutions. The scheme is tested by choosing different values of p, positive and negative, integer and fraction, to illustrate the efficiency of the ADM method and the generalization of the solutions.     

Phonon Excitation and Energy Redistribution in Phonon Space for Energy Dissipation and Transport in Lattice Structure with Nonlinear Dispersion

We first propose fundamental solutions of wave propagation in dispersive chain subject to a localized initial perturbation in the displacement. Analytical solutions are obtained for both second order nonlinear dispersive chain and homogenous harmonic chain using stationary phase approximation. Solution is also compared with numerical results from molecular dynamics(MD) simulations. Locally dominant phonon modes(k-space) are introduced based on these solutions. These locally defined spatially and temporally varying phonon modes k(x, t) are critical to the concept of the local thermodynamic equilibrium(LTE). Wave propagation accompanying with the nonequilibrium dynamics leads to the excitation of these locally defined phonon modes. It is found that the system energy is gradually redistributed among these excited phonons modes(k-space). This redistribution process is only possible with nonlinear dispersion and requires a finite amount of time to achieve a steady state distribution. This time scale is dependent on the spatial distribution(or frequency content) of the initial perturbation and the dispersion relation. Sharper and more concentrated perturbation leads to a faster energy redistribution and dissipation. This energy redistribution generates localized phonons with various frequencies that can be important for phonon-phonon interaction and energy dissipation in nonlinear systems.Depending on the initial perturbation and temperature, the time scale associated with this energy distribution can be critical for energy dissipation compared to the Umklapp scattering process. Ballistic type of heat transport along the harmonic chain reveals that at any given position, the lowest mode(k = 0) is excited first and gradually expanding to the highest mode(kmax(x, t)), where kmax(x, t) can only asymptotically approach the maximum mode kBof the first Brillouin zone(kmax(x, t) → kB). No energy distributed into modes with kmax(x, t) k kBdemonstrates that the local thermodynamic equilibrium cannot be established in harmonic chain. Energy is shown to be uniformly distributed in all available phonon modes k ≤ kmax(x, t) at any position with heat transfer along the harmonic chain. The energy flux along the chain is shown to be a constant with time and proportional to the sound speed(ballistic transport).Comparison with the Fourier's law leads to a time-dependent thermal conductivity that diverges with time.     

Dynamical Analysis and Exact Solutions of a New (2+1)-Dimensional Generalized Boussinesq Model Equation for Nonlinear Rossby Waves*

In this paper, we study the higher dimensional nonlinear Rossby waves under the generalized beta effect. Using methods of the multiple scales and weak nonlinear perturbation expansions [Q. S. Liu, et al., Phys. Lett. A 383 (2019) 514], we derive a new $(2+1)$-dimensional generalized Boussinesq equation from the barotropic potential vorticity equation. Based on bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems and the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations, the dynamical analysis and exact traveling wave solutions of the new generalized Boussinesq equation are obtained. Moreover, we provide the numerical simulations of these exact solutions under some conditions of all parameters. The numerical results show that these traveling wave solutions are all the Rossby solitary waves.

To construct functionally generalized separable solutions, several concrete examples defined on the exponential and trigonometric invariant subspaces are provided.     

Nonlinear Exact Solutions of the 2-Dimensional Rotational Euler Equations for the Incompressible Fluid

In this paper, the Clarkson–Kruskal direct approach is employed to investigate the exact solutions of the2-dimensional rotational Euler equations for the incompressible fluid. The application of the method leads to a system of completely solvable ordinary differential equations. Several special cases are discussed and novel nonlinear exact solutions with respect to variables x and y are obtained. It is of interest to notice that the pressure p is obtained by the second kind of curvilinear integral and the coefficients of the nonlinear solutions are solitary wave type functions like tanh(kt/2)and sech(kt/2) due to the rotational parameter k = 0. Such phenomenon never appear in the classical Euler equations wherein the Coriolis force arising from the gravity and Earth's rotation is ignored. Finally, illustrative numerical figures are attached to show the behaviors that the exact solutions may exhibit.
