Travelling Waves for a Density Dependent Diffusion Nagumo Equation over the Real Line

We consider the density dependent diffusion Nagumo equation, where the diffusion coefficient is a simple power function. This equation is used in modelling electrical pulse propagation in nerve axons and in population genetics (amongst other areas). In the present paper, the δ-expansion method is applied to a travelling wave reduction of the problem, so that we may obtain globally valid perturbation solutions (in the sense that the perturbation solutions are valid over the entire infinite domain, not just locally; hence the results are a generalization of the local solutions considered recently in the literature). The resulting boundary value problem is solved on the real line subject to conditions at z → ±∞. Whenever a perturbative method is applied, it is important to discuss the accuracy and convergence properties of the resulting perturbation expansions. We compare our results with those of two different numerical methods (designed for initial and boundary value problems, respectively) and deduce that the perturbation expansions agree with the numerical results after a reasonable number of iterations. Finally, we are able to discuss the influence of the wave speed c and the asymptotic concentration value α on the obtained solutions. Upon recasting the density dependent diffusion Nagumo equation as a two-dimensional dynamical system, we are also able to discuss the influence of the nonlinear density dependence (which is governed by a power-law parameter m) on oscillations of the travelling wave solutions.     

Generalized Nagumo model: interesting effects of parameters’ fluctuations

In this paper, we used an analytical method to calculate the effects that produce the parameter’s fluctuations characterizing a generalization of Nagumo model. (The extinction option is replaced by one of low density homogeneous population.) Moreover, we also check the results by means of numerical simulations of the corresponding stochastic process. We find that these fluctuations have a strong impact on the solutions producing interesting changes.     

Analytic and numerical solutions to the Lane-Emden equation

In this Letter, we present analytical solutions to the Lane-Emden equation describing the thermal behavior of a spherical cloud of gas acting under the mutual attraction of its molecules. Solutions are obtained by using the traditional power series approach and by using the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). We show that the series solutions obtained by the Homotopy Analysis Method converge in a larger interval than in the case of the corresponding traditional series solutions. Furthermore, we obtained numerical solutions (using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 4-5 technique) which are used to validate the analytical solutions.     

Numerical Complexiton Solutions of Complex KdV Equation

In this paper, we directly extend the applications of the Adomian decomposition method to investigate the complex KdV equation. By choosing different forms of wave functions as the initial values, three new types of realistic numerical solutions: numerical positon, negaton solution, and particularly the numerical analytical complexiton solution are obtained, which can rapidly converge to the exact ones obtained by Lou et al. Numerical simulation figures are used to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.

Three-dimensional fundamental solutions for one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal with piezoelectric effect

In this paper, a set of 3D general solutions to static problems of 1D hexagonal piezoelectric quasicrystals is obtained by introducing two displacement functions and utilizing the rigorous operator theory. All the physical quantities are expressed by five quasi-harmonic functions. Based on the general solutions and with the help of the superposition principle, fundamental solutions for infinite/half-infinite spaces are presented by trial-and-error technique. The general solutions can be conveniently used to solve the boundary value problems regarding dislocations, cracks and inhomogeneities. The fundamental solutions are of primary significance to development of numerical codes such as boundary element method.

Towards a Unified Method for Exact Solutions of Evolution Equations. An Application to Reaction Diffusion Equations with Finite Memory Transport

We present a brief report on the different methods for finding exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. Explicit exact traveling wave solutions are the most amenable besides implicit and parametric ones. It is shown that most of methods that exist in the literature are equivalent to the “generalized mapping method” that unifies them. By using this method a class of formal exact solutions for reaction diffusion equations with finite memory transport is obtained. Attention is focused to the finite-memory-transport-Fisher and Nagumo equations.     

Relationship Between Soliton-like Solutions and Soliton Solutions to a Class of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

By using the generally projective Riccati equation method, a series of doubly periodic solutions (Jacobi elliptic function solution) for a class of nonlinear partial differential equations are obtained in a unified way. When the module m→1, these solutions exactly degenerate to the soliton solutions of the equations. Then we reveal the relationship between the soliton-like solutions obtained by other authors and these soliton solutions of the equations.

A new approach for modelling the damped Helmholtz oscillator:applications to plasma physics and electronic circuits

In this paper,a new approach is devoted to find novel analytical and approximate solutions to the damped quadratic nonlinear Helmholtz equation(HE)in terms of the Weiersrtrass elliptic function.The exact solution for undamped HE(integrable case)and approximate/semi-analytical solution to the damped HE(non-integrable case)are given for any arbitrary initial conditions.As a special case,the necessary and sufficient condition for the integrability of the damped HE using an elementary approach is reported.In general,a new ansatz is suggested to find a semi-analytical solution to the non-integrable case in the form of Weierstrass elliptic function.In addition,the relation between the Weierstrass and Jacobian elliptic functions solutions to the integrable case will be derived in details.Also,we will make a comparison between the semi-analytical solution and the approximate numerical solutions via using Runge-Kutta fourth-order method,finite difference method,and homotopy perturbation method for the first-two approximations.Furthermore,the maximum distance errors between the approximate/semi-analytical solution and the approximate numerical solutions will be estimated.As real applications,the obtained solutions will be devoted to describe the characteristics behavior of the oscillations in RLC series circuits and in various plasma models such as electronegative complex plasma model.

Numerical Solutions of a New Type of Fractional Coupled Nonlinear Equations

In this paper, we investigate a new type of fractional coupled nonlinear equations. By introducing the fractional derivative that satisfies the Caputo＇s definition, we directly extend the applications of the Adomian decomposition method to the new system. As a result, with the aid of Maple, the realistic and convergent rapidly series solutions are obtained with easily computable components. Two famous fractional coupled examples： KdV and mKdV equations, are used to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.     

Series Representations for Uncertain Fractional IVPs in the Fuzzy Conformable Fractional Sense

Fuzzy differential equations provide a crucial tool for modeling numerous phenomena and uncertainties that potentially arise in various applications across physics, applied sciences and engineering. Reliable and effective analytical methods are necessary to obtain the required solutions, as it is very difficult to obtain accurate solutions for certain fuzzy differential equations. In this paper, certain fuzzy approximate solutions are constructed and analyzed by means of a residual power series (RPS) technique involving some class of fuzzy fractional differential equations. The considered methodology for finding the fuzzy solutions relies on converting the target equations into two fractional crisp systems in terms of ρ-cut representations. The residual power series therefore gives solutions for the converted systems by combining fractional residual functions and fractional Taylor expansions to obtain values of the coefficients of the fractional power series. To validate the efficiency and the applicability of our proposed approach we derive solutions of the fuzzy fractional initial value problem by testing two attractive applications. The compatibility of the behavior of the solutions is determined via some graphical and numerical analysis of the proposed results. Moreover, the comparative results point out that the proposed method is more accurate compared to the other existing methods. Finally, the results attained in this article emphasize that the residual power series technique is easy, efficient, and fast for predicting solutions of the uncertain models arising in real physical phenomena.     

Application of Computer Algebra in Solving Chaffee--Infante Equation

In this paper, a series of two line-soliton solutions and double periodic solutions of Chaffee-Infante equation have been obtained by using a new transformation. Unlike the existing methods which are used to find multiple soliton solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations, this approach is constructive and pure algebraic. The results found here are tested on computer and therefore their validity is ensured.     

Mean Field Analysis of Large-Scale Interacting Populations of Stochastic Conductance-Based Spiking Neurons Using the Klimontovich Method

We investigate the dynamics of large-scale interacting neural populations, composed of conductance based, spiking model neurons with modifiable synaptic connection strengths, which are possibly also subjected to external noisy currents. The network dynamics is controlled by a set of neural population probability distributions (PPD) which are constructed along the same lines as in the Klimontovich approach to the kinetic theory of plasmas. An exact non-closed, nonlinear, system of integro-partial differential equations is derived for the PPDs. As is customary, a closing procedure leads to a mean field limit. The equations we have obtained are of the same type as those which have been recently derived using rigorous techniques of probability theory. The numerical solutions of these so called McKean–Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equations, which are only valid in the limit of infinite size networks, actually shows that the statistical measures as obtained from PPDs are in good agreement with those obtained through direct integration of the stochastic dynamical system for large but finite size networks. Although numerical solutions have been obtained for networks of Fitzhugh–Nagumo model neurons, which are often used to approximate Hodgkin–Huxley model neurons, the theory can be readily applied to networks of general conductance-based model neurons of arbitrary dimension.     

Novel localized wave solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Boiti-Leon-Manna-Pempinelli equation

Based on a special transformation that we introduce, the N-soliton solution of the (2+1)-dimensional Boiti-Leon-Manna-Pempinelli equation is constructed. By applying the long wave limit and restricting certain conjugation conditions to the related solitons, some novel localized wave solutions are obtained, which contain higher-order breathers and lumps as well as their interactions. In particular, by choosing appropriate parameters involved in the N-solitons, two interaction solutions mixed by a bell-shaped soliton and one breather or by a bell-shaped soliton and one lump are constructed from the 3-soliton solution. Five solutions including two breathers, two lumps, and interaction solutions between one breather and two bell-shaped solitons, one breather and one lump, or one lump and two bell-shaped solitons are constructed from the 4-soliton solution. Five interaction solutions mixed by one breather/lump and three bell-shaped solitons, two breathers/lumps and a bell-shaped soliton, as well as mixing with one lump, one breather and a bell-shaped soliton are constructed from the 5-soliton solution. To study the behaviors that the obtained interaction solutions may have, we present some illustrative numerical simulations, which demonstrate that the choice of the parameters has a great impacts on the types of the solutions and their propagation properties. The method proposed can be effectively used to construct localized interaction solutions of many nonlinear evolution equations. The results obtained may help related experts to understand and study the interaction phenomena of nonlinear localized waves during propagations.     

On numerical solution of Burgers' equation by homotopy analysis method

In this Letter, we present the Homotopy Analysis Method (shortly HAM) for obtaining the numerical solution of the one-dimensional nonlinear Burgers' equation. The initial approximation can be freely chosen with possible unknown constants which can be determined by imposing the boundary and initial conditions. Convergence of the solution and effects for the method is discussed. The comparison of the HAM results with the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) and the results of [E.N. Aksan, Appl. Math. Comput. 174 (2006) 884; S. Kutluay, A. Esen, Int. J. Comput. Math. 81 (2004) 1433; S. Abbasbandy, M.T. Darvishi, Appl. Math. Comput. 163 (2005) 1265] are made. The results reveal that HAM is very simple and effective. The HAM contains the auxiliary parameter ?, which provides us with a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region of solution series. The numerical solutions are compared with the known analytical and some numerical solutions.
