Solitary wave solutions of the improved KdV equation by VIM

The variational iteration method (VIM) is applied to solve numerically the improved Korteweg-de Vries equation (IKdV). A correction function is constructed with a general Lagrange multiplier that can be identified optimally via the variational theory. This technique provides a sequence of functions with easily computable components that converge rapidly to the exact solution of the IKdV equation. Propagation of single, interaction of two, and three solitary waves, and also birth of solitons have been discussed. Three invariants of motion have been evaluated to determine the conservation properties of the problem. This procedure is promising for solving other nonlinear equations.

Solitary waves of a generalized Ostrovsky equation

We consider the existence and stability of traveling waves of a generalized Ostrovsky equation ${(u_t-\beta u_{xxx}-f{\left(u\right)}_x)}_x=\gamma u$, where the nonlinearity $f\left(u\right)$ satisfies a power-like scaling condition. We prove that there exist ground state solutions which minimize the action among all nontrivial solutions and use this variational characterization to study their stability. We also introduce a numerical method for computing ground states based on their variational properties. The class of nonlinearities considered includes sums and differences of distinct powers.     

The homotopy analysis method to solve the modified equal width wave equation

In this article, to solve the modified equal width wave (MEW) equation, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is proposed. The initial approximation can be freely chosen with possible unknown constant, which can be determined by using the boundary and initial conditions. The HAM contains the auxiliary parameter ?, which provides us to adjust and control the convergence region of solution series with a simple way. Three conservative quantities are reported. Numerical results show that this method is a promising and powerful tool to solve the MEW equation. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2010

Solitary wave solutions of the MRLW equation using radial basis functions

In this study, traveling wave solutions of the modified regularized long wave (MRLW) equation are simulated by using the meshless method based on collocation with well‐known radial basis functions. The method is tested for three test problems which are single solitary wave motion, interaction of two solitary waves and interaction of three solitary waves. Invariant values for all test problems are calculated, also L₂, L_∞ norms and values of the absolute error for single solitary wave motion are calculated. Numerical results by using the meshless method with different radial basis functions are presented. Figures of wave motions for all test problems are shown. Altogether, meshless methods with radial basis functions solve the MRLW equation very satisfactorily.© 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 28: 235–247, 2012     

Travelling wave solutions of the Fornberg-Whitham equation

Zhou and Tian [J.B. Zhou, L.X. Tian, A type of bounded travelling wave solutions for the Fornberg-Whitham equation, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 346 (2008) 255-261] successfully found a type of bounded travelling wave solutions of the Fornberg-Whitham equation.

Moreover, some smooth periodic wave, smooth solitary wave, periodic cusp wave and loop-soliton solutions are given, and the numerical simulation is made. The results show that our theoretical analysis agrees with the numerical simulation.

On the instability of elliptic traveling wave solutions of the modified Camassa–Holm equation

This paper is concerned with the orbital instability for a specific class of periodic traveling wave solutions with the mean zero property and large spatial period related to the modified Camassa–Holm equation. These solutions, called snoidal waves, are written in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions. To prove our result we use the abstract method of Grillakis, Shatah and Strauss [23], the Floquet theory for periodic eigenvalue problems and the n-gaps potentials theory of Dubrovin, Matveev and Novikov [19].     

Four types of bounded wave solutions of CH-γ equation

Recently, many authors have studied the following CH-γ equation:ut + c0ux + 3uux - α2(uxxt + uuxxx + 2uxuxx) + γuxxx =0,where α2, c0 and γ are paramters. Its bounded wave solutions have been investigated mainly for the case α2 ＞ 0. For the case α2 ＜ 0, the existence of three bounded waves (regular solitary waves,compactons, periodic peakons) was pointed out by Dullin et al. But the proof has not been given.In this paper, not only the existence of four types of bounded waves: periodic waves, compacton-like waves, kink-like waves, regular solitary waves, is shown, but also their explicit expressions or implicit expressions are given for the case α2 ＜ 0. Some planar graphs of the bounded wave solutions and their numerical simulations are given to show the correctness of our results.
