Explicit traveling wave solutions of five kinds of nonlinear evolution equations

First of all, by using Bernoulli equations, we develop some technical lemmas. Then, we establish the explicit traveling wave solutions of five kinds of nonlinear evolution equations: nonlinear convection diffusion equations (including Burgers equations), nonlinear dispersive wave equations (including Korteweg-de Vries equations), nonlinear dissipative dispersive wave equations (including Ginzburg-Landau equation, Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation and Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers equation), nonlinear hyperbolic equations (including Sine-Gordon equation) and nonlinear reaction diffusion equations (including Belousov-Zhabotinskii system of reaction diffusion equations).     

Existence of solutions for the MHD-Leray-alpha equations and their relations to the MHD equations

In this paper we derive some new equations and we call them MHD-Leray-alpha equations which are similar to the MHD equations. We put forward the concept of weak and strong solutions for the new equations. Whether the 3-dimensional MHD equations have a unique weak solution is unknown, however, there is a unique weak solution for the 3-dimensional MHD-Leray-alpha equations. The global existence of strong solution and the Gevrey class regularity for the new equations are also obtained. Furthermore, we prove that the solutions of the MHD-Leray-alpha equations converge to the solution of the MHD equations in the weak sense as the parameter ε in the new equations converges to zero.     

Group properties of the extended Green–Naghdi equations

The group analysis method is applied to the extended Green–Naghdi equations. The equations are studied in the Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates. The complete group classification of the equations is provided. The derived Lie symmetries are used to reduce the equations to ordinary differential equations. For solving the ordinary differential equations the Runge–Kutta methods were applied. Comparisons between solutions of the Green–Naghdi equations and the extended Green–Naghdi equations are given.     

Linearized stability analysis of two-dimension Burnett equations

The linearized stability analyses of two-dimension Burnett equations were studied in present paper for the first time. The characteristic stability equation of two-dimension original Burnett equation was first derived and the characteristic curve was achieved. The material derivatives in original Burnett equations are then replaced with the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The stabilities of these two alternative Burnett equations are then analyzed. The linearized stability analyses show that the two-dimension original Burnett and Euler-based Burnett equations are not stable while the Navier-Stokes-based Burnett equations are stable. The critical Knudsen number for the original Burnett and Euler-based Burnett equations are 0.074 and 0.353, respectively. These critical Knudsen number are smaller than those of corresponding one-dimension equations. The two-dimension Burnett equations are more unstable than one-dimension equations.     

An examination of the homentropic Euler equations with averaged characteristics

This paper examines the properties of the homentropic Euler equations when the characteristics of the equations have been spatially averaged. The new equations are referred to as the characteristically averaged homentropic Euler (CAHE) equations. An existence and uniqueness proof for the modified equations is given. The speed of shocks for the CAHE equations are determined. The Riemann problem is examined and a general form of the solutions is presented. Finally, numerically simulations on the homentropic Euler and CAHE equations are conducted and the behaviors of the two sets of equations are compared.     

More common errors in finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations: Part I

In the recent paper by Kudryashov [11] seven common errors in finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations were listed and discussed in detail. We indicate two more common errors concerning the similarity (equivalence with respect to point transformations) and linearizability of differential equations and then discuss the first of them. Classes of generalized KdV and mKdV equations with variable coefficients are used in order to clarify our conclusions. We investigate admissible point transformations in classes of generalized KdV equations, obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions of similarity of such equations to the standard KdV and mKdV equations and carried out the exhaustive group classification of a class of variable-coefficient KdV equations. Then a number of recent papers on such equations are commented using the above results. It is shown that exact solutions were constructed in these papers only for equations which are reduced by point transformations to the standard KdV and mKdV equations. Therefore, exact solutions of such equations can be obtained from known solutions of the standard KdV and mKdV equations in an easier way than by direct solving. The same statement is true for other equations which are equivalent to well-known equations with respect to point transformations.     

层状二维流动的基本方程式

在很多海洋、大气等二维流动问题中所用的动力学方程往往沿用推广后的河流水力学方程或"纳维-斯托克斯方程"其中把湍流阻力项写成这样的方程式和湍流阻力项用到实际问题上去,无疑是存在着极大的局限性,而将导致矛盾百出.本文则从雷诺方程出发,把所有的物理量沿深度加以平均,求出平均以后的物理量所满足的运动方程,连续方程和扩散方程.

The general equations of analytical dynamics

It is shown that the generalized Poincaré and Chetayev equations, which represent the equations of motion of mechanical systems using a certain closed system of infinitesimal linear operators, are related to the fundamental equations of analytical dynamics. Equations are derived in quasi-coordinates for the case of redundant variables; it is shown that when an energy integral exists the operator X₀ = ∂/∂t satisfies the Chetayev cyclic-displacement conditions. Using the energy integral the order of the system of equations of motion is reduced, and generalized Jacobi-Whittaker equations are derived from the Chetayev equations. It is shown that the Poincaré-Chetayev equations are equivalent to a number of equations of motion of non-holonomic systems, in particular, the Maggi, Volterra, Kane, and so on, equations. On the basis of these, and also of other previously obtained results, the Poincaré and Chetayev equations in redundant variables, applicable both to holonomic and non-holonomic systems, can be regarded as general equations of classical dynamics, equivalent to the well-known fundamental forms of the equations of motion, a number of which follow as special cases from the Poincaré and Chetayev equations.     

Parabolic equations related to curve motion

We study curve motions based on differential equations. Curve motion equations are classified into two types: adaptive equations (which depend on the choice of coordinate systems) and non-adaptive equations. Examples from both types of equations are studied, and the global existence for these equations is proved based on integral estimates.     

Integrating factors, adjoint equations and Lagrangians

Integrating factors and adjoint equations are determined for linear and non-linear differential equations of an arbitrary order. The new concept of an adjoint equation is used for construction of a Lagrangian for an arbitrary differential equation and for any system of differential equations where the number of equations is equal to the number of dependent variables. The method is illustrated by considering several equations traditionally regarded as equations without Lagrangians. Noether's theorem is applied to the Maxwell equations.     

Multidimensional nonlinear wave equations with multivalued solutions

We present the theory of breaking waves in nonlinear systems whose dynamics and spatial structure are described by multidimensional nonlinear hyperbolic wave equations. We obtain a general relation between systems of first-order quasilinear equations and nonlinear hyperbolic equations of higher orders, which, in particular, describe electromagnetic waves in a medium with nonlinear polarization of an arbitrary form. We use this approach to construct exact multivalued solutions of such equations and to study their spatial structure and dynamics. The results are generalized to a wide class of multidimensional equations such as d’Alembert equations, nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations, and nonlinear telegraph equations.     

Non-periodic averaging principles for measure functional differential equations and functional dynamic equations on time scales involving impulses

We present a non-periodic averaging principle for measure functional differential equations and, using the correspondence between solutions of measure functional differential equations and solutions of functional dynamic equations on time scales (see Federson et al., 2012 [8]), we obtain a non-periodic averaging result for functional dynamic equations on time scales. Moreover, using the relation between measure functional differential equations and impulsive measure functional differential equations, we get a non-periodic averaging theorem for these equations. Also, it is a known fact that we can relate impulsive measure functional differential equations and impulsive functional dynamic equations on time scales (see Federson et al., 2013 [9]). Therefore, applying this correspondence to our averaging principle, we obtain a non-periodic averaging theorem for impulsive functional dynamic equations on time scales.

Traveling Waves in Degenerate Diffusion Equations

In this survey, we present a literature review on the study of traveling waves in degenerate diffusion equations by illustrating the interesting and singular wave behavior caused by degeneracy. The main results on wave existence and stability are presented for the typical degenerate equations, including porous medium equations, flux limited diffusion equations, delayed degenerate diffusion equations, and other strong degenerate diffusion equations.     

Structural theory of special functions

A block diagram is suggested for classifying differential equations whose solutions are special functions of mathematical physics. Three classes of these equations are identified: the hypergeometric, Heun, and Painlevé classes. The constituent types of equations are listed for each class. The confluence processes that transform one type into another are described. The interrelations between the equations belonging to different classes are indicated. For example, the Painlevé-class equations are equations of classical motion for Hamiltonians corresponding to Heun-class equations, and linearizing the Painlevé-class equations leads to hypergeometric-class equations. The “confluence principle” is stated, and an example of its application is given. Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 119, No. 1, pp. 3–19, April, 1999.     

Classifying Integrable Egoroff Hydrodynamic Chains

We introduce the notion of Egoroff hydrodynamic chains. We show how they are related to integrable (2+1)-dimensional equations of hydrodynamic type. We classify these equations in the simplest case. We find (2+1)-dimensional equations that are not just generalizations of the already known Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya and Boyer–Finley equations but are much more involved. These equations are parameterized by theta functions and by solutions of the Chazy equations. We obtain analogues of the dispersionless Hirota equations.

Dichotomies for generalized ordinary differential equations and applications

In this work we establish the theory of dichotomies for generalized ordinary differential equations, introducing the concepts of dichotomies for these equations, investigating their properties and proposing new results. We establish conditions for the existence of exponential dichotomies and bounded solutions. Using the correspondences between generalized ordinary differential equations and other equations, we translate our results to measure differential equations and impulsive differential equations. The fact that we work in the framework of generalized ordinary differential equations allows us to manage functions with many discontinuities and of unbounded variation.
