European Journal of Applied Mathematics 13, 567 is used for finding the local conservation laws for some nonlinear partial differential equations. The method does not require the use or existence of a variational principle and reduces the calculation of conservation laws to solving a system of linear determining equations similar to that of finding symmetries. An explicit construction formula is derived which yields a conservation law for each solution of the determining system. Different methods to construct new exact solution classes for the same nonlinear partial differential equations are also presented, which are named hyperbolic function method and the Bäcklund transformations. On the other hand, other methods and transformations are developed to obtain exact solutions for some nonlinear partial differential equations.     

Symmetries and Two Types of Non-Noether Conservation Laws of Birkhoffian System with Unilateral Constraints

The symmetries and non-Noether conservation laws of Birkhoffian system with unilateral constraints are studied. The differential equations of motion of the system are established, and the criterions of Noether symmetry, Lie symmetry and Mei symmetry of the system are given. Two types of new conservation laws, called the Hojman conservation law and the Mei conservation law respectively, are obtained, and the intrinsic relations among the symmetries and the new conservation laws are researched. At the end of the paper, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Conservation laws and normal forms of evolution equations

We study local conservation laws for evolution equations in two independent variables. In particular, we present normal forms for the equations admitting one or two low-order conservation laws. Examples include Harry Dym equation, Korteweg-de Vries-type equations, and Schwarzian KdV equation. It is also shown that for linear evolution equations all their conservation laws are (modulo trivial conserved vectors) at most quadratic in the dependent variable and its derivatives.     

Gauge covariant formulation of the generating operator. 2. Systems on homogeneous spaces

A gauge covariant approach to the operator Λ, generating the n-wave type equations on homogeneous spaces is proposed. The operator Λ̃ for the gauge equivalent equations is explicitly constructed. The main results (such as conservation laws, hierarchies of hamiltonian structures, etc.) for the n-wave type equations and their gauge equivalent ones are formulated in terms of Λ and Λ̃ respectively.     

Second Order Integrability Conditions for Difference Equations: An Integrable Equation

Integrability conditions for difference equations admitting a second order formal recursion operator are presented and the derivation of symmetries and canonical conservation laws are discussed. In a generic case, some of these conditions yield nonlocal conservation laws. A new integrable equation satisfying the second order integrability conditions is presented and its integrability is established by the construction of symmetries, conservation laws and a 3 × 3 Lax representation. Finally, via the relation of the symmetries of this equation to the Bogoyavlensky lattice, an integrable asymmetric quad equation and a consistent pair of difference equations are derived.     

Development of arbitrary-order multioperators-based schemes for parallel calculations.: Part 2: Families of compact approximations with two-diagonal inversions and related multioperators

One-parameter families of compact approximations to grid functionals with inverses of two-point operators and their properties are described. As particular examples, interpolation/extrapolations operators, quadratures formulas and approximations to derivatives are presented. Using operators from the families with fixed parameters values as basis operators, their linear combinations providing formally arbitrary-order approximations (multioperators) are constructed. Numerical illustrations are presented. Special emphasis is placed on first derivatives discretizations in the context of conservation laws. As an example, a highly accurate tenth-order scheme is outlined and tested against the Burgers’ equation. It is shown how extrapolation multioperators can be used to create boundary closures.     

Fractional Electromagnetic Equations Using Fractional Forms

The generalized physics laws involving fractional derivatives give new models and conceptions that can be used in complex systems having memory effects. Using the fractional differential forms, the classical electromagnetic equations involving the fractional derivatives have been worked out. The fractional conservation law for the electric charge and the wave equations were derived by using this method. In addition, the fractional vector and scalar potentials and the fractional Poynting theorem have been derived.     

Infinitesimal symmetries and conservation laws of the DNLSE hierarchy and the Noether's theorem

The hierarchy of integrable nonlinear equations associated with the quadratic bundle is considered. The expressions for the solution of linearization of these equations and their conservation law in the terms of solutions of corresponding Lax pairs are found. It is shown for the first member of the hierarchy that the conservation law is connected with the solution of linearized equation due to the Noether's theorem. The local hierarchy and three nonlocal ones of the infinitesimal symmetries and conservation laws explicitly expressed through the variables of the nonlinear equations are derived.     

The conservation laws for deformed classical models

The problem of deriving the conservation laws for deformed linear equations of motion is investigated. The conserved currents are obtained in the explicit form and used in the construction of constants of motion. The equations for the set of non-interacting oscillators with arbitrary scale-time as well as theκ-Klein-Gordon equation are considered as an example of application of the method.     

Superfield currents of PoincaréN=1 supersymmetry

Starting from the algebraically reduced PoincaréN=1 superspace Noether-current, represented by four superfields obeying a conservation law, the question of further reductions is investigated. Each reduction is defined by a transformation of the four superfields leaving the conservation law as well as certain superfield currents built from them invariant. Two requirements for these superfield currents are stated and the corresponding equations are solved. An additional requirement related to, the uniqueness of the component currents is postulated.     

Steady-state vectorial self-diffraction on a non-local photorefractive grating in a crystal of symmetry \overline{4}3m at symmetrical transmitting geometry

The steady-state two-wave interaction in a cubic crystal of the symmetry group 3m with the non-local photorefractive response in the absence of an external electric field is considered for the case of arbitrary interaction orientation with respect to the crystallographic coordinate system and for arbitrary intensities and polarization states of incident light waves. The self-diffraction problem is described on the basis of four coupled-wave equations in terms of the complex scalar amplitudes of components of the light waves with orthogonal linear polarization. The derived conservation laws are valid for the non-linear dependency of the photorefractive-grating amplitude on the modulation coefficient of the interference light pattern. It follows from these laws that the two non-unidirectional energy fluxes can form the total energy exchange between the two interacting light waves. A set of independent conservation laws allows us to decouple the coupled-wave equations and to obtain their analytical solution, at least, in the form of quadrature formulae. For example, such a solution is derived for the case of linearly polarized incident light waves and for the linearized dependency of the photorefractive-grating amplitude on the modulation coefficient. The explicit analytical expressions for the scalar amplitudes are obtained for the transversal electro-optic configuration of interaction. The possibility of polarization-state transformation of light waves without energy exchange between them is shown.

A local discontinuous Galerkin method for directly solving Hamilton–Jacobi equations

In this paper we propose a new local discontinuous Galerkin method to directly solve Hamilton–Jacobi equations. The scheme is a natural extension of the monotone scheme. For the linear case with constant coefficients, the method is equivalent to the discontinuous Galerkin method for conservation laws. Thus, stability and error analysis are obtained under the framework of conservation laws. For both convex and noneconvex Hamiltonian, optimal (k + 1)th order of accuracy for smooth solutions are obtained with piecewise kth order polynomial approximations. The scheme is numerically tested on a variety of one and two dimensional problems. The method works well to capture sharp corners (discontinuous derivatives) and have the solution converges to the viscosity solution.

Relativistic thermodynamics of fluids. I

In 1953, Stueckelberg and Wanders derived the basic laws of relativistic linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics for chemically reacting fluids from the relativistic local conservation laws for energy-momentum and the local laws of production of substances and of non-negative entropy production by the requirement that the corresponding currents (assumed to depend linearly on the first derivatives of the state variables) should not be independent. Generalizing their method, we determine the most general allowed form of the energy-momentum tensor T^αβ and of the corresponding rate of entropy production under the same restriction on the currents. The problem of expressing this rate in terms of thermodynamic forces and fluxes is discussed in detail; it is shown that the number of independent forces is not uniquely determined by the theory, and several possibilities are explored. A number of possible new cross effects are found, all of which persist in the Newtonian (low-velocity) limit. The treatment of chemical reactions is incorporated into the formalism in a consistent manner, resulting in a derivation of the law for rate of production, and in relating this law to transport processes differently than suggested previously. The Newtonian limit is discussed in detail to establish the physical interpretation of the various terms of T^αβ. In this limit, the interpretation hinges on that of the velocity field characterizing the fluid. If it is identified with the average matter velocity following from a consideration of the number densities, the usual local conservation laws of Newtonian nonequilibrium thermodynamics are obtained, including that of mass. However, a slightly different identification allows conversion of mass into energy even in this limit, and thus a macroscopic treatment of nuclear or elementary particle reactions. The relation of our results to previous work is discussed in some detail.     

Nonlocal Symmetries and Associated Conservation Laws for Wave Equations with Variable Speeds

We show that one can generate a class of nontrivial conservation laws for second-orderpartial differential equations using some recent results dealing with theaction of any Lie—Bäklund symmetry generator of the equivalent first-ordersystem on the respective conservation law. These conserved vectors are nonlocal asthey are constructed from associated nonlocal symmetries of the partial differentialequation. We demonstrate the complete procedure on certain classes of waveequations with variable wave speeds. Some of these have been considered in theliterature using alternative methods.     

Extended Conservation Laws of Some Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Self-adjoint theorem is introduced to match the corresponding functional of the given differential equations,and then Noether＇s theorem is used to determine the extended conservation laws of the original equations. Finally, as the application of the method, the conservation laws of Drinfel＇d-Sokolov-Wilson equation and Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation are constructed.     

A set of the Lie symmetrical conservation laws for the rotational relativistic Birkhoffian system

For a rotational relativistic Birkhoffian system a set of the Lie symmetries and conservation laws is given under infinitesimal transformation. On the basis of the invariance of rotational relativistic Birkhoffian equations under infinitesimal transformations,Lie symmetrical transformations of the system are constructed, which only depend on the Birkhoffian variables. The determining equations of Lie symmetries are given, and a new type of non-noether conserved quantities are directly obtained from Lie symmetries of the system. An example given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Spin,torsion, forces

A theory of gravitation with torsion that is derived from a potential is developed. An explicit material action is presented that gives rise to the correct conservation laws and equations of motion. It is shown that the Noether identities yield the same conservation laws as the Bianchi identities, and the Papapetrou method is used to develop the propagation equations and the force law. The equations are put in the nonrelativistic limit and the 3-vector formulation is displayed.     

Integrating Factors and Conservation Laws of Generalized Birkhoff System Dynamics in Event Space

In this paper, the conservation laws of generalized Birkhoff system in event space are studied by using the method of integrating factors. Firstly, the generalized Pfaff-Birkhoff principle and the generalized Birkhoff equations are established, and the definition of the integrating factors for the system is given. Secondly, based on the concept of integrating factors, the conservation theorems and their inverse for the generalized Birkhoff system in the event space are presented in detail, and the relation between the conservation laws and the integrating factors of the system is obtained and the generalized Killing equations for the determination of the integrating factors are given. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Symmetries and conservation laws of lattice Boussinesq equations

Sequences of canonical conservation laws and generalized symmetries for the lattice Boussinesq and the lattice modified Boussinesq systems are successively derived. The interpretation of these symmetries as differential-difference equations leads to corresponding hierarchies of such equations for which conservation laws and Lax pairs are constructed. Finally, using the continuous symmetry reduction approach, an integrable, multidimensionally consistent system of partial differential equations is derived in relation with the lattice modified Boussinesq system.
