Explicit multi-symplectic methods for Klein–Gordon–Schrödinger equations

In this paper, we propose explicit multi-symplectic schemes for Klein–Gordon–Schrödinger equation by concatenating suitable symplectic Runge–Kutta-type methods and symplectic Runge–Kutta–Nyström-type methods for discretizing every partial derivative in each sub-equation. It is further shown that methods constructed in this way are multi-symplectic and preserve exactly the discrete charge conservation law provided appropriate boundary conditions. In the aim of the commonly practical applications, a novel 2-order one-parameter family of explicit multi-symplectic schemes through such concatenation is constructed, and the numerous numerical experiments and comparisons are presented to show the efficiency and some advantages of the our newly derived methods. Furthermore, some high-order explicit multi-symplectic schemes of such category are given as well, good performances and efficiencies and some significant advantages for preserving the important invariants are investigated by means of numerical experiments.     

An extension of the discrete variational method to nonuniform grids

The discrete variational method is a method used to derive finite difference schemes that inherit the conservation/dissipation property of the original equations. Although this method has mainly been developed for uniform grids, we extend this method to multidimensional nonuniform meshes.     

Justification of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation from a parametrically driven damped nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation and numerical comparisons

We consider a damped, parametrically driven discrete nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation, that models coupled pendula and micromechanical arrays, among others. To study the equation, one usually uses a small-amplitude wave ansatz, that reduces the equation into a discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with damping and parametric drive. Here, we justify the approximation by looking for the error bound with the method of energy estimates. Furthermore, we prove the local and global existence of solutions to the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. To illustrate the main results, we consider numerical simulations showing the dynamics of errors made by the discrete nonlinear equation. We consider two types of initial conditions, with one of them being a discrete soliton of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, that is expectedly approximate discrete breathers of the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation.     

The symmetries and conservation laws of some Gordon-type equations in Milne space-time

In this letter, the Lie point symmetries of a class of Gordon-type wave equations that arise in the Milne space-time are presented and analysed. Using the Lie point symmetries, it is showed how to reduce Gordon-type wave equations using the method of invariants, and to obtain exact solutions corresponding to some boundary values. The Noether point symmetries and conservation laws are obtained for the Klein–Gordon equation in one case. Finally, the existence of higherorder variational symmetries of a projection of the Klein–Gordon equation is investigated using the multiplier approach.     

The functional variable method for finding exact solutions of some nonlinear time-fractional differential equations

In this paper, we implemented the functional variable method and the modified Riemann–Liouville derivative for the exact solitary wave solutions and periodic wave solutions of the time-fractional Klein–Gordon equation, and the time-fractional Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV system. This method is extremely simple but effective for handling nonlinear time-fractional differential equations.

Lasing without population inversion in a four-level Y-type configuration in double quantum dot system

Klein–Gordon equation is one of the basic steps towards relativistic quantum mechanics. In this paper, we have formulated fractional Klein–Gordon equation via Jumarie fractional derivative and found two types of solutions. Zero-mass solution satisfies photon criteria and non-zero mass satisfies general theory of relativity. Further, we have developed rest mass condition which leads us to the concept of hidden wave. Classical Klein–Gordon equation fails to explain a chargeless system as well as a single-particle system. Using the fractional Klein–Gordon equation, we can overcome the problem. The fractional Klein–Gordon equation also leads to the smoothness parameter which is the measurement of the bumpiness of space. Here, by using this smoothness parameter, we have defined and interpreted the various cases.     

Massless Spin–Zero Particle and the Classical Action via Hamilton–Jacobi Equation in G?del Universe

In this letter we investigate the separability of the Klein–Gordon and Hamilton–Jacobi equation in G?del universe. We show that the Klein–Gordon eigen modes are quantized and the complete spectrum of the particle’s energy is a mixture of an azimuthal quantum number, m and a principal quantum number, n and a continuous wave number k. We also show that the Hamilton–Jacobi equation gives a closed function for classical action. These results may be used to calculate the Casimir vacuum energy in G?del universe.     

Explicit multi-symplectic extended leap-frog methods for Hamiltonian wave equations

In this paper, we study the integration of Hamiltonian wave equations whose solutions have oscillatory behaviors in time and/or space. We are mainly concerned with the research for multi-symplectic extended Runge–Kutta–Nyström (ERKN) discretizations and the corresponding discrete conservation laws. We first show that the discretizations to the Hamiltonian wave equations using two symplectic ERKN methods in space and time respectively lead to an explicit multi-symplectic integrator (Eleap-frogI). Then we derive another multi-symplectic discretization using a symplectic ERKN method in time and a symplectic partitioned Runge–Kutta method, which is equivalent to the well-known Störmer–Verlet method in space (Eleap-frogII). These two new multi-symplectic schemes are extensions of the leap-frog method. The numerical stability and dispersive properties of the new schemes are analyzed. Numerical experiments with comparisons are presented, where the two new explicit multi-symplectic methods and the leap-frog method are applied to the linear wave equation and the Sine–Gordon equation. The numerical results confirm the superior performance and some significant advantages of our new integrators in the sense of structure preservation.     

Analytic solutions of the space–time conformable fractional Klein–Gordon equation in general form

ABSTRACT

The Klein–Gordon equation plays an important role in mathematical physics. In this paper, a direct method which is very effective, simple, and convenient, is presented for solving the conformable fractional Klein–Gordon equation. Using this analytic method, the exact solutions of this equation are found in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions. This method is applied to both time and space fractional equations. Some solutions are also illustrated by the graphics.     

Exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations using functional variable method

The functional variable method is a powerful solution method for obtaining exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper, the functional variable method is used to establish exact solutions of the generalized forms of Klein–Gordon equation, the (2?+?1)-dimensional Camassa–Holm Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation and the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation. By using this useful method, we found some exact solutions of the above-mentioned equations. The obtained solutions include solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions and combined formal solutions. It is shown that the proposed method is effective and general.     

Exponentially Growing Finite Energy Solutions for the Klein–Gordon Equation on Sub-Extremal Kerr Spacetimes

For any sub-extremal Kerr spacetime with non-zero angular momentum, we find an open family of non-zero masses for which there exist smooth, finite energy, and exponentially growing solutions to the corresponding Klein–Gordon equation. If desired, for any non-zero integer m, an exponentially growing solution can be found with mass arbitrarily close to \({\frac{\left|am\right|}{2Mr_+}}\) . In addition to its direct relevance for the stability of Kerr as a solution to the Einstein–Klein–Gordon system, our result provides the first rigorous construction of a superradiant instability. Finally, we note that this linear instability for the Klein–Gordon equation contrasts strongly with recent work establishing linear stability for the wave equation.     

A singularity theorem for Einstein–Klein–Gordon theory

Hawking’s singularity theorem concerns matter obeying the strong energy condition (SEC), which means that all observers experience a nonnegative effective energy density (EED), thereby guaranteeing the timelike convergence property. However, there are models that do not satisfy the SEC and therefore lie outside the scope of Hawking’s hypotheses, an important example being the massive Klein–Gordon field. Here we derive lower bounds on local averages of the EED for solutions to the Klein–Gordon equation, allowing nonzero mass and nonminimal coupling to the scalar curvature. The averages are taken along timelike geodesics or over spacetime volumes, and our bounds are valid for a range of coupling constants including both minimal and conformal coupling. Using methods developed by Fewster and Galloway, these lower bounds are applied to prove a Hawking-type singularity theorem for solutions to the Einstein–Klein–Gordon theory, asserting that solutions with sufficient initial contraction at a compact Cauchy surface will be future timelike geodesically incomplete. These results remain true in the presence of additional matter obeying both the strong and weak energy conditions.     

A Linear Energy-Preserving Finite Volume Element Method for the Improved Korteweg−de Vries Equation

In this paper, we introduce a linearized energy-preserving scheme which preserves the discrete global energy of solutions to the improved Korteweg?deVries equation. The method presented is based on the finite volume element method, by resorting to the variational derivative to transform the improved Korteweg?deVries equation into a new form, and then designing energy-preserving schemes for the transformed equation. The proposed scheme is much more efficient than the standard nonlinear scheme and has good stability. To illustrate its efficiency and conservative properties, we also compare it with other nonlinear schemes. Finally, we verify the efficiency and conservative properties through numerical simulations.     

Modified Structure-Preserving Schemes for the Degasperis-Procesi Equation

We investigate the structure-preserving numerical algorithm of the Degasperis-Procesi equation which can be transformed into a bi-Hamiltonian form using the discrete variational derivative method.Based on two different space discretization methods,the Fourier pseudospectral method and the wavelet collocation method,we develop two modified structure-preserving schemes under the periodic boundary condition.These proposed schemes are proved to preserve the Hamiltonian invariants theoretically and numerically.Meanwhile,the numerical results confirm that they can simulate the propagation of solitons effectively for a long time.     

Solitons and periodic solutions to a couple of fractional nonlinear evolution equations

This paper studies a couple of fractional nonlinear evolution equations using first integral method. These evolution equations are foam drainage equation and Klein–Gordon equation (KGE), the latter of which is considered in (2 + 1) dimensions. For the fractional evolution, the Jumarie’s modified Riemann–Liouville derivative is considered. Exact solutions to these equations are obtained.     

Bound state solution of the Klein-Gordon equation for vector and scalar Hellmann plus modified Kratzer potentials

In this study, the analytical solutions of the Klein–Gordon equation for any l states of the scalar and vector Hellmann plus modified Kratzer potential are derived by using an approximation method to the centrifugal potential term. The analytical expressions for eigenvalues and corresponding normalized eigenfunctions of the spin-zero particle have been estimated by using the parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The solution for the radial part of the Klein-Gordon equation is formulated in terms of the generalized Jacobi polynomials. The energy state equation and the wave function for special cases are in good agreement with the previous literature. In addition, we have measured the numerical results of the energy eigenvalues and also the trend of the eigenvalues concerning of different potential parameters have been plotted. Furthermore, it was shown that the energy levels E and quantum numbers n and l are inversely proportional to each other.     

Exact Solutions of the Klein–Gordon Equation with Position-Dependent Mass for Mixed Vector and Scalar Kink-Like Potentials

The relativistic problem of spinless particles with position-dependent mass subject to kink-like potentials (~tanh αx) is investigated. By using the basic concepts of the supersymmetric quantum mechanics formalism and the functional analysis method, we solve exactly the position-dependent effective mass Klein–Gordon equation with the vector and scalar kink-like potential coupling, and obtain the bound state solutions in the closed form. It is found that in the presence of position-dependent mass there exists the symmetry that the discrete positive energy spectra and negative energy spectra are symmetric about zero energy for the case of a mixed vector and scalar kink-like potential coupling, and in the presence of constant mass this symmetry only appears for the cases of a pure scalar kink-like potential coupling or massless particles.     

First variation formula and conservation laws in several independent discrete variables

This paper sets the scene for discrete variational problems on an abstract cellular complex that serves as discrete model of R^p and for the discrete theory of partial differential operators that are common in the Calculus of Variations. A central result is the construction of a unique decomposition of certain partial difference operators into two components, one that is a vector bundle morphism and other one that leads to boundary terms. Application of this result to the differential of the discrete Lagrangian leads to unique discrete Euler and momentum forms not depending either on the choice of reference on the base lattice or on the choice of coordinates on the configuration manifold, and satisfying the corresponding discrete first variation formula. This formula leads to discrete Euler equations for critical points and to exact discrete conservation laws for infinitesimal symmetries of the Lagrangian density, with a clear physical interpretation.
