Exact solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients

According to Ma-Fuchsseiter’s idea, a trial equation method was proposed to find the exact envelop traveling wave solutions to some nonlinear differential equations with variable coefficients. As an application, combining with the complete discrimination system for polynomial, some exact envelop traveling wave solutions to Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients were obtained. At the same time, the physical meanings of the obtained solutions are discussed, and the problem needed to further study is pointed out.

Kawahara equation and modified Kawahara equation with time dependent coefficients: symmetry analysis and generalized ‐expansion method

In this paper, variable coefficients Kawahara equation (VCKE) and variable coefficients modified Kawahara equation (VCMKE), which arise in modeling of various physical phenomena, are studied by Lie group analysis. The similarity reductions and exact solutions are derived by determining the complete sets of point symmetries of these equations. Moreover, some exact analytic solutions are considered by the power series method. Further, a generalized ‐expansion method is applied to VCKE and VCMKE for constructing some new exact solutions. As a result, hyperbolic function solutions, trigonometric function solutions and some rational function solutions with parameters are furnished. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Analytical solutions to Fisher’s equation with time-variable coefficients

This paper provides analytical solutions to the generalized Fisher equation with a class of time varying diffusion coefficients. To accomplish this we use the Painlevé property for partial differential equations as defined by Weiss in 1983 in “The Painlevé property for partial-differential equations”. This was first done for the variable coefficient Fisher’s equation by Ö?ün and Kart in 2007; we build on this work, finding additional solutions with a weaker restriction on the trial solution. We also use the same technique to find solutions to Fisher’s equation with time-dependent coefficients for both diffusion and nonlinear terms. Lastly we compute specific solutions to illustrate their behaviors.     

Stability analysis of block boundary value methods for neutral pantograph equation

This paper deals with the convergence and stability properties of block boundary value methods (BBVMs) for the neutral pantograph equation. Due to its unbounded time lags and limited computer memory, a change in the independent variable is used to transform a pantograph equation into a non-autonomous differential equation with a constant delay but variable coefficients. It is shown under the classical Lipschitz condition that a BBVM is convergent of order p if the underlying boundary value method is consistent with order p. Furthermore, it is proved under a certain condition that BBVMs can preserve the asymptotic stability of exact solutions for the neutral pantograph equation. Meanwhile, some numerical experiments are given to confirm the main conclusions.

Group analysis of KdV equation with time dependent coefficients

We study the generalized KdV equation having time dependent variable coefficients of the damping and dispersion from the Lie group-theoretic point of view. Lie group classification with respect to the time dependent coefficients is performed. The optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras of the Lie symmetry algebras are obtained. These subalgebras are then used to construct a number of similarity reductions and exact group-invariant solutions, including soliton solutions, for some special forms of the equations.
