Motion of curves and solutions of two multi-component mKdV equations

Two classes of multi-component mKdV equations have been shown to be integrable. One class called the multi-component geometric mKdV equation is exactly the system for curvatures of curves when the motion of the curves is governed by the mKdV flow. In this paper, exact solutions including solitary wave solutions of the two- and three-component mKdV equations are obtained, the symmetry reductions of the two-component geometric mKdV equation to ODE systems corresponding to it’s Lie point symmetry groups are also given. Curves and their behavior corresponding to solitary wave solutions of the two-component geometric mKdV equation are presented.

On the new solutions of the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation

In this paper, we investigate a class of generalized Burgers–Huxley equation by employing the bifurcation method of planar dynamical systems. Firstly, we reduce the equation to a planar system via the traveling wave solution ansatz; then by computing the singular point quantities, we obtain the conditions of integrability and determine the existence of one stable limit cycle from Hopf bifurcation in the corresponding planar system. From this, some new exact solutions and a special periodic traveling wave solution, which is isolated as a limit, are obtained. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

New exact solutions for the nonlinear wave equation with fifth-order nonlinear term

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the dynamical behavior of the nonlinear wave equation with fifth-order nonlinear term, and provides its bounded traveling wave solutions. Applying the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems, we depict phase portraits of the traveling wave system corresponding to this equation under various parameter conditions. Through discussing the bifurcation of phase portraits, we obtain all explicit expressions of solitary wave solutions and kink wave solutions. Further, we investigate the relation between the bounded orbit of the traveling wave system and the energy level h. By analyzing the energy level constant h, we get all possible periodic wave solutions.     

Bifurcations and exact traveling wave solutions of the equivalent complex short-pulse equations

In this paper, we study the traveling wave solutions for a complex short-pulse equation of both focusing and defocusing types, which governs the propagation of ultrashort pulses in nonlinear optical fibers. It can be viewed as an analog of the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation in the ultrashort-pulse regime. The corresponding traveling wave systems of the equivalent complex short-pulse equations are two singular planar dynamical systems with four singular straight lines. By using the method of dynamical systems, bifurcation diagrams and explicit exact parametric representations of the solutions are given, including solitary wave solution, periodic wave solution, peakon solution, periodic peakon solution and compacton solution under different parameter conditions.

In this paper,we focus on studying approximate solutions of damped oscillatory solutions of the compound KdV-Burgers equation and their error estimates.We employ the theory of planar dynamical systems to study traveling wave solutions of the compound KdV-Burgers equation.We obtain some global phase portraits under different parameter conditions as well as the existence of bounded traveling wave solutions.Furthermore,we investigate the relations between the behavior of bounded traveling wave solutions and the dissipation coefficient r of the equation.We obtain two critical values of r,and find that a bounded traveling wave appears as a kink profile solitary wave if |r| is greater than or equal to some critical value,while it appears as a damped oscillatory wave if |r| is less than some critical value.By means of analysis and the undetermined coefficients method,we find that the compound KdV-Burgers equation only has three kinds of bell profile solitary wave solutions without dissipation.Based on the above discussions and according to the evolution relations of orbits in the global phase portraits,we obtain all approximate damped oscillatory solutions by using the undetermined coefficients method.Finally,using the homogenization principle,we establish the integral equations reflecting the relations between exact solutions and approximate solutions of damped oscillatory solutions.Moreover,we also give the error estimates for these approximate solutions.     

Qualitative Analysis and Travelling Wave Solutions for the Generalized Pochhammer–Chree Equation with a Dissipation Term

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the influence of dissipation on travelling wave solutions of the generalized Pochhammer–Chree equation with a dissipation term, and provides travelling wave solutions for this equation. Applying the theory of planar dynamical systems, we obtain ten global phase portraits of the dynamic system corresponding to this equation under various parameter conditions. Moreover, we present the relations between the properties of travelling wave solutions and the dissipation coefficient r of this equation. We find that a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a bell profile solitary wave solution or a periodic travelling wave solution when r= 0; a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a kink profile solitary wave solution when |r| > 0 is large; a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a damped oscillatory solution when |r| > 0 is small. Further, by using undetermined coefficient method, we get all possible bell profile solitary wave solutions and approximate damped oscillatory solutions for this equation. Error estimates indicate that the approximate solutions are meaningful.     

Qualitative analysis and solutions of bounded traveling wave for B-BBM equation

In this paper, we apply the theory of planar dynamical systems to carry out qualitative analysis for the dynamical system corresponding to B-BBM equation, and obtain global phase portraits under various parameter conditions. Then, the relations between the behaviors of bounded traveling wave solutions and the dissipation coeffiicient μ are investigated. We find that a bounded traveling wave solution appears as a kink profile solitary wave solution when μ is more than the critical value obtained in this paper, while a bounded traveling wave solution appears as a damped oscillatory solution when μ is less than it. Furthermore, we explain the solitary wave solutions obtained in previous literature, and point out their positions in global phase portraits. In the meantime, approximate damped oscillatory solutions are given by means of undetermined coefficients method. Finally, based on integral equations that reflect the relations between the approximate damped oscillatory solutions and the implicit exact damped oscillatory solutions, error estimates for the approximate solutions are presented.     

Painlev\'{e} Analysis and Auto-B\"{a}cklund Transformation for a General Variable Coefficient Burgers Equation with Linear Damping Term

This paper investigates a general variable coefficient (gVC) Burgers equation with linear damping term. We derive the Painlev\''{e} property of the equation under certain constraint condition of the coefficients. Then we obtain an auto-B\"{a}cklund transformation of this equation in terms of the Painlev\''{e} property. Finally, we find a large number of new explicit exact solutions of the equation. Especially, infinite explicit exact singular wave solutions are obtained for the first time. It is worth noting that these singular wave solutions will blow up on some lines or curves in the $(x,t)$ plane. These facts reflect the complexity of the structure of the solution of the gVC Burgers equation with linear damping term. It also reflects the complexity of nonlinear wave propagation in fluid from one aspect.

By using the theory of planar dynamical systems to a compound KdV-type nonlinear wave equation, the bifurcation boundaries of the system are obtained in this paper. These bifurcation sets divide the parameter space into different regions, which correspond to qualitatively different phase portraits and therefore different types of the solutions may exist in different regions. The parameter conditions for the existence of solitary wave solutions and uncountably infinite, many smooth and non-smooth, periodic wave solutions are therefore obtained.
