Numerical solutions of the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation using B-spline functions

A numerical technique based on the finite difference and collocation methods is presented for the solution of generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (GKS) equation. The derivative matrices between any two families of B-spline functions are presented and are utilized to reduce the solution of GKS equation to the solution of linear algebraic equations. Numerical simulations for five test examples have been demonstrated to validate the technique proposed in the current paper. It is found that the simulating results are in good agreement with the exact solutions.

Four types of bounded wave solutions of CH-γ equation

Recently, many authors have studied the following CH-γ equationut c0ux 3uux - α2(uxxt uuxxx 2uxuxx) γuxxx =0,where α2, c0 and γ are paramters. Its bounded wave solutions have been investigated mainly for the case α2 ＞ 0. For the case α2 ＜ 0, the existence of three bounded waves (regular solitary waves,compactons, periodic peakons) was pointed out by Dullin et al. But the proof has not been given.In this paper, not only the existence of four types of bounded waves periodic waves, compacton-like waves, kink-like waves, regular solitary waves, is shown, but also their explicit expressions or implicit expressions are given for the case α2 ＜ 0. Some planar graphs of the bounded wave solutions and their numerical simulations are given to show the correctness of our results.     

Weak solutions to a nonlinear variational wave equation and some related problems

In this paper we present some results on the global existence of weak solutions to a nonlinear variational wave equation and some related problems. We first introduce the main tools, the L ^p Young measure theory and related compactness results, in the first section. Then we use the L ^p Young measure theory to prove the global existence of dissipative weak solutions to the asymptotic equation of the nonlinear wave equation, and comment on its relation to Camassa-Holm equations in the second section. In the third section, we prove the global existence of weak solutions to the original nonlinear wave equation under some restrictions on the wave speed. In the last section, we present global existence of renormalized solutions to two-dimensional model equations of the asymptotic equation, which is also the so-called vortex density equation arising from sup-conductivity.

Exact solutions of nonlinear Schrödinger equation by using symbolic computation

The (G′/G,1/G)‐expansion method and (1/G′)‐expansion method are interesting approaches to find new and more general exact solutions to the nonlinear evolution equations. In this paper, these methods are applied to construct new exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The travelling wave solutions are expressed by hyperbolic functions, trigonometric functions and rational functions. It is shown that the proposed methods provide a powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear wave equations in mathematical physics and engineering. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Long-time behavior of the difference solutions to the 2D GKS equation

We study the long-time behavior of the finite difference solution to the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation in two space dimensions with periodic boundary conditions. The unique solvability of numerical solution is shown. It is proved that there exists a global attractor of the discrete dynamical system and the upper semicontinuity d(A_h,τ,A)→0. Finally, we obtain the long-time stability and convergence of the difference scheme. Our results show that the difference scheme can effectively simulate the infinite dimensional dynamical systems.

A note on “New kink-shaped solutions and periodic wave solutions for the (2 + 1)-dimensional Sine-Gordon equation”

Exact solutions of the Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov equation by Li [New kink-shaped solutions and periodic wave solutions for the (2 + 1)-dimensional Sine-Gordon equation, Appl. Math. Comput. 215 (2009) 3777-3781] are analyzed. We have observed that fourteen solutions by Li from 30 do not satisfy the equation. The other 16 exact solutions by Li can be found from the general solutions of the well-known solution of the equation for the Weierstrass elliptic function.
