Dust-acoustic solitary waves in a two-temperature electrons with charge fluctuations and nonisothermal ions

In this paper, a modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) equation and Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation at critical ion density are derived for dusty plasmas consisting of hot dust fluid, nonisothermal ions and two-temperature electrons. The charge fluctuation dynamics of the dust grains has also been considered. It has been shown that the presence of a second component of electrons modifies the nature of dust acoustic (DA) solitary structures. The effects of two-temperature electrons, obliqueness and external magnetic field on the properties of DA solitary waves are discussed. Numerical investigations show that there exists only rarefactive solitary waves.

New solutions for the governing equation of this system have been obtained for dust acoustic waves in a dust plasma firsthand. We derive exact mathematical expressions and numerical simulation studies for the general case of the nonlinear dust acoustic waves in two-dimensional dust plasma with dust charge variation.     

Effects of the dust charge variation and non-thermal ions on multi-dimensional dust acoustic solitary structures in magnetized dusty plasmas

The combined effects of both adiabatic dust charge variation and non-thermally (fast) distributed ions on dust acoustic solitary structures are studied in a magnetized dusty plasmas consisting of the negatively and variably charged hot dust fluid, Boltzmann distributed electrons and non-thermally distributed ions. By using the reductive perturbation method, we derive the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation governing the dust acoustic solitary waves. It is shown that the dust charge variation and the presence of non-thermally distributed ions would modify the nature of dust acoustic solitary structures significantly and may excite both dust acoustic solitary holes (soliton with a density dip) and positive solitons (soliton with a density hump).     

Multidimensional dust acoustic solitary waves in inhomogeneous magnetized dusty plasmas with nonthermal ions

The linear dispersion relation and a modified variable coefficients Korteweg–de Vries (MKdV) equation governing the three-dimensional dust acoustic solitary waves are obtained in inhomogeneous dusty plasmas comprised of negatively charged dust grains of equal radii, Boltzmann distributed electrons and nonthermally distributed ions. The numerical results show that the inhomogeneity, the nonthermal ions, the external magnetic field and the collision have strong influence on the frequency and the nonlinear properties of dust acoustic solitary waves and both dust acoustic solitary holes (soliton with a density dip) and positive solitons (soliton with a density hump) are excited.

New analytical solutions for the governing equation of this system have been obtained for dust acoustic waves in a dust plasma for the first time. We derive exact analytical expressions for the general case of the nonlinear dust acoustic waves in two-dimensional dust plasma with vortex-like ion distribution.     

Propagation of the nonlinear damped Korteweg‐de Vries equation in an unmagnetized collisional dusty plasma via analytical mathematical methods

In this article, we consider the problem formulation of dust plasmas with positively charge, cold dust fluid with negatively charge, thermal electrons, ionized electrons, and immovable background neutral particles. We obtain the dust‐ion‐acoustic solitary waves (DIASWs) under nonmagnetized collision dusty plasma. By using the reductive perturbation technique, the nonlinear damped Korteweg‐de Vries (D‐KdV) equation is formulated. We found the solutions for nonlinear D‐KdV equation. The constructed solutions represent as bright solitons, dark solitons, kink wave and antikinks wave solitons, and periodic traveling waves. The physical interpretation of constructed solutions is represented by two‐ and three‐dimensional graphically models to understand the physical aspects of various behavior for DIASWs. These investigation prove that proposed techniques are more helpful, fruitful, powerful, and efficient to study analytically the other nonlinear nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that arise in engineering, plasma physics, mathematical physics, and many other branches of applied sciences.     

Charge density fluctuation of low frequency in a dusty plasma

The charge density fluctuation of low frequency in a dusty plasma, which is derived from the longitudinal dielectric permittivity of the dusty plasma, has been studied by kinetic theory. The results show that theP value, which describes the relative charge density on the dust in the plasma, and the charging frequency of a dust particle Ω _c , which describes the ratio of charge changing of the dust particles, determine the character of the charge density fluctuation of low frequency. For a dusty plasma ofP≪1, when the charging frequency Ω _c , is much smaller than the dusty plasma frequency ω_d, there is a strong charge density fluctuation which is of character of dust acoustic eigenwave. For a dusty plasma ofP≫1, when the frequency Ω _c , is much larger than ω _d there are weaker fluctuations with a wide spectrum. The results have been applied to the ionosphere and the range of radius and density of dust particles is found, where a strong charge density fluctuation of low frequency should exist.     

Solitary waves in dusty plasmas with variable dust charge and two temperature ions

Propagation of nonlinear waves in dusty plasmas with variable dust charge and two temperature ions is analyzed. The Kadomtsev–Petviashivili (KP) equation is derived by using the reductive perturbation theory. A Sagdeev potential for this system has been proposed. This potential is used to study the stability conditions and existence of solitonic solutions. Also, it is shown that a rarefactive soliton can be propagates in most of the cases. The soliton energy has been calculated and a linear dispersion relation has been obtained using the standard normal-modes analysis. The effects of variable dust charge on the amplitude, width and energy of the soliton and its effects on the angular frequency of linear wave are discussed too. It is shown that the amplitude of solitary waves of KP equation diverges at critical values of plasma parameters. Solitonic solutions of modified KP equation with finite amplitude in this situation are derived.     

Lattice Boltzmann model for a generalized Gardner equation with time-dependent variable coefficients

In this paper, lattice Boltzmann model for a generalized Gardner equation with time-dependent variable coefficients, which can provide some more realistic models than their constant-coefficient counterparts, is derived through selecting equilibrium distribution function and adding the compensate function, appropriately. Effects and approximate value range of the free parameters, which are introduced to adjust the single relaxation time and equilibrium distribution function, are discussed in detail, as well as the impact of the lattice space step and velocity. Numerical simulations in different situations of this equation are conducted, including the propagation and interaction of the solitons, the evolution of the non-propagating soliton and the propagation of the double-pole solutions. It is found that the numerical results match well with the analytical solutions, which demonstrates that the current lattice Boltzmann model is a satisfactory and efficient algorithm.     

Dynamics of an HIV-1 infection model with cell mediated immunity

In this paper, we study the dynamics of an improved mathematical model on HIV-1 virus with cell mediated immunity. This new 5-dimensional model is based on the combination of a basic 3-dimensional HIV-1 model and a 4-dimensional immunity response model, which more realistically describes dynamics between the uninfected cells, infected cells, virus, the CTL response cells and CTL effector cells. Our 5-dimensional model may be reduced to the 4-dimensional model by applying a quasi-steady state assumption on the variable of virus. However, it is shown in this paper that virus is necessary to be involved in the modeling, and that a quasi-steady state assumption should be applied carefully, which may miss some important dynamical behavior of the system. Detailed bifurcation analysis is given to show that the system has three equilibrium solutions, namely the infection-free equilibrium, the infectious equilibrium without CTL, and the infectious equilibrium with CTL, and a series of bifurcations including two transcritical bifurcations and one or two possible Hopf bifurcations occur from these three equilibria as the basic reproduction number is varied. The mathematical methods applied in this paper include characteristic equations, Routh–Hurwitz condition, fluctuation lemma, Lyapunov function and computation of normal forms. Numerical simulation is also presented to demonstrate the applicability of the theoretical predictions.     

General Decay for a Viscoelastic Equation of Variable Coefficients in the Presence of Past History with Delay Term in the Boundary Feedback and Acoustic Boundary Conditions

In this paper, we consider a viscoelastic equation of variable coefficients in the presence of infinite memory (past history) with nonlinear damping term and nonlinear delay term in the boundary feedback and acoustic boundary conditions. Under suitable assumptions, two arbitrary decay results of the energy solution are established via suitable Lyapunov functionals and some properties of the convex functions. The first stability result is given with relation between the damping term and relaxation function. The second result is given without imposing any restrictive growth assumption on the damping term and the kernel function \(g\). Our result extends the decay result obtained for problems with finite history to those with infinite history.     

Obliquely propagating dust-acoustic solitary waves in cosmic dust-laden plasmas

Obliquely dust-acoustic solitary waves in a collisional, magnetized dusty plasmas having cold dust grains, isothermal electrons, two temperature isothermal ions and stationary neutrals are studied via a reductive perturbation method. It is found that the effects of two temperature ions, collisions, magnetic field and directional cosine of the waves vector k along the x-axis have vital roles in the behavior of the dust acoustic solitary waves. The present investigation can be relevance to the electrostatic solitary structures observed in various cosmic dust-laden plasmas, such as Saturn’s E-ring, noctilucent clouds, Halley’s comet and interstellar molecular clouds.     

Monte carlo calculation of transport for three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equilibria

A Monte Carlo algorithm has been implemented which couples the results of a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium code with particle transport calculations similar to those of Boozer and Kuo-Petravic. The equilibrium results are in a form which lends itself to easy and accurate computation of the coefficients required to follow particle orbits in flux variables at finite pressure. In particular, the parallel current and the Clebsch potential for the current are obtained from Fourier series solutions of first-order partial differential equations with constant coefficients. Confinement times are estimated from the exponential decay of expected values of appropriately chosen functionals of the particle distribution. The observation that these functionals satisfy boundary conditions helps us to compute confinement times over a wide range of collision frequencies, including cases where losses due to particle trapping are very high. Initial conditions are chosen to optimize the Monte Carlo calculation by using known information about the expected particle distribution. Results for actual and proposed stellarator experiment are given. Electron and ion confinement times are compared, since this is relevant to the issue of the effect of ambipolar electric fields on stellarator confinement. A spectral method is given to determine the electric field from charge neutrality, and numerical evidence is presented to suggest that anomalous electron transport may be due to small resonant terms in the electric potential. Also, comparisons are made with a simplified theory of particle transport already incorporated in the equilibrium code.

DYNAMICS IN A CLASS OF NEURON MODELS

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics in a class of discrete-time neuron mod-els. The neuron model we discussed, defined by such periodic input-output mapping as a sinusoidal function, has a remarkably larger memory capacity than the conven-tional association system with the monotonous function. Our results show that the orbit of the model takes a conventional bifurcation route, from stable equilibrium, to periodicity, even to chaotic region. And the theoretical analysis is verified by numerical simula...

Our result is obtained without imposing any restrictive growth assumption on the damping term and the elements of the matrix A and the kernel function g.     

A robust and accurate finite difference method for a generalized Black-Scholes equation

In this paper we present a numerical method for a generalized Black-Scholes equation, which is used for option pricing. The method is based on a central difference spatial discretization on a piecewise uniform mesh and an implicit time stepping technique. Our scheme is stable for arbitrary volatility and arbitrary interest rate, and is second-order convergent with respect to the spatial variable. Furthermore, the present paper efficiently treats the singularities of the non-smooth payoff function. Numerical results support the theoretical results.

The design of a Tort law to control accidents

In this paper we analyse a two-stage game involving the government and n agents who engage in a single activity (driving). The government establishes the legal policy setting and the agents proceed to play a non-cooperative game of incomplete information with a risk of accident in which their behavioral strategy is their level of care. We examine the Nash-equilibrium conditions for single-activity accidents between heterogeneous agents, ‘good’ drivers or ‘bad’ drivers allowing a variable damage function and a liability rule defined on the cube. The relative desirability for society of alternative equilibria and the conditions under which they can obtain are discussed. The constraints which circumscribe the ability of the government to induce an equilibrium involving careful driving are demonstrated. It transpires that when the proportion of good drivers increases, it becomes more difficult to sustain a careful equilibrium whereas an equilibrium of reckless behavior becomes easier to sustain. Various extensions of the models are also presented.
