Compactons versus solitons

We investigate whether the recently proposed PT-symmetric extensions of generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations admit genuine soliton solutions besides compacton solitary waves. For models which admit stable compactons having a width which is independent of their amplitude and those which possess unstable compacton solutions the Painlevé test fails, such that no soliton solutions can be found. The Painlevé test is passed for models allowing for compacton solutions whose width is determined by their amplitude. Consequently, these models admit soliton solutions in addition to compactons and are integrable.     

LRS Bianchi type I perfect fluid solutions generated from known solutions

Some LRS Bianchi type I perfect fluid solutions are generated from known solutions of this type. The solutions represent spatially homogeneous and anisotropic cosmological models which would give essentially empty space for large time. The physical and kinematic properties of the models are discussed.     

Generation of LRS Bianchi type I universes filled with perfect fluids

A generating technique is presented which converts known LRS Bianchi type I models into new models of the same type. Starting from the general Kasner solutions new classes of models are obtained which add to the rare perfect-fluid solutions not satisfying the equation of state. The physical and kinematical properties of cosmological models are studied.     

Charged Noncommutative Wormhole Solutions via Power-Law f(T) Models

In this paper, we explore static spherically symmetric charged wormhole solutions in extended teleparallel gravity taking power-law f(T) models. We consider noncommutative geometry under Lorentzian distribution. In order to obtain matter components, we develop field equations using effective energy-momentum tensor for non-diagonal tetrad. We explore solutions by considering various viable power-law f(T) models, which also include teleparallel gravity case. The violation of energy conditions obtain by exotic matter to form wormhole solutions in teleparallel case while, physical acceptable wormhole solutions exist for charged noncommutative wormhole solutions for some cases of power-law models. The effective energy-momentum tensor and charge are responsible for the violation of the energy conditions. Also, we check the equilibrium condition for these solutions. The equilibrium condition meets for the teleparallel case and some power-law solutions while remaining solutions are either in less equilibrium or in disequilibrium situation.     

Survey of cosmological models with gravitational,scalar and electromagnetic waves

This paper gives an overview and reviews some recent investigations of anisotropic and inhomogeneous models. A class of models, which admit an Abelian two-parameter group of isometries, is considered in detail. Within this class of models we present exact solutions of the Einstein field equations. These solutions describe inhomogeneous cosmological models containing gravitational, scalar and electromagnetic waves. The solutions are used to study the effect of the symmetry breaking in corresponding Bianchi models. The nonlinear dynamics of primordial inhomogeneities is considered. The global evolution of the inhomogeneous models considered is also investigated. Finally we discuss the validity of various assumptions, used in the earlier treatments of inhomogeneous models.     

Universality of the linear potential in effective models for the low energy QCD coupled with the dilaton field

QCD motivated effective models coupled with the cosmological dilaton field are analyzed. It is shown that all models possess confining solutions with the linear potential of confinement even thought such solutions are not observed in the original effective theory. In case of the Pagels–Tomboulis model analytical solutions are explicit found.     

Analytic instanton solutions in two-dimensional field models

Two-dimensional scalar field models with nontrivial potential determined in bounded spatial regions are considered. Exact analytic instanton solutions for these models and soliton solutions for similar three-dimensional systems are obtained.     

Geodesic Bianchi type cosmological models

Some perfect fluid solutions of Einstein's field equations are obtained in spacetimes with two hypersurface orthogonal space-lika commuting Killing vectors. The flow is assumed to be geodesic. The solutions depend on an arbitrary function of time which determines the equation of state. In the models derived one additional Killing vector exists and the solutions are actually Bianchi-type cosmological models.     

Mathematical Models for the Propagation of Stress Waves in Elastic Rods: Exact Solutions and Numerical Simulation

In this work, the Bishop and Love models for longitudinal vibrations are adopted to study the dynamics of isotropic rods with conical and exponential cross-sections. Exact solutions of both models are derived, using appropriate transformations. The analytical solutions of these two models are obtained in terms of generalised hypergeometric functions and Legendre spherical functions respectively. The exact solution of Love model for a rod with exponential cross-section is expressed as a sum of Gauss hypergeometric functions. The models are solved numerically by using the method of lines to reduce the original PDE to a system of ODEs. The accuracy of the numerical approximations is studied in the case of special solutions.     

Pure Kinetic K-essence as the Cosmic Speed-Up

In this paper, we consider three types of k-essence. These k-essence models were presented in the parametric forms. The exact analytical solutions of the corresponding equations of motion are found. It is shown that these k-essence models for the presented solutions can give rise to cosmic acceleration.     

Evaluating the robustness of rogue waves under perturbations

Rogue waves, and their periodic counterparts, have been shown to exist in a number of integrable models. However, relatively little is known about the existence of these objects in models where an exact formula is unattainable. In this work, we develop a novel numerical perspective towards identifying such states as localized solutions in space-time. Importantly, we illustrate this methodology for different perturbations of nonlinear Schrödinger models. In particular, in addition to benchmarking known solutions (and confirming their numerical propagation under controllable error) this enables the continuation of such solutions over parametric variations to non-integrable models. As a result, we can answer in the positive the question about the parametric robustness of Peregrine-like waveforms and even of generalizations thereof on a cnoidal wave background.     

Bianchi cosmologies with anisotropic matter: Locally rotationally symmetric models

The dynamics of cosmological models with isotropic matter sources (perfect fluids) is extensively studied in the literature; in comparison, the dynamics of cosmological models with anisotropic matter sources is not. In this paper we consider spatially homogeneous locally rotationally symmetric solutions of the Einstein equations with a large class of anisotropic matter models including collisionless matter (Vlasov), elastic matter, and magnetic fields. The dynamics of models of Bianchi types I, II, and IX are completely described; the two most striking results are the following. (i) There exist matter models, compatible with the standard energy conditions, such that solutions of Bianchi type IX (closed cosmologies) need not necessarily recollapse; there is an open set of forever expanding solutions. (ii) Generic type IX solutions associated with a matter model like Vlasov matter exhibit oscillatory behavior toward the initial singularity. This behavior differs significantly from that of vacuum/perfect fluid cosmologies; hence “matter matters”. Finally, we indicate that our methods can probably be extended to treat a number of open problems—in particular, the dynamics of Bianchi type VIII and Kantowski-Sachs solutions.     

Exact (1+1)-dimensional solutions of discrete planar velocity Boltzmann models

For discrete velocity Boltzmann models we have found (1+1)-dimensional shock waves and periodic solutions that are rational solutions with two exponential variables exp(_ix + _it) (spacex, timet). These exact solutions are sums of two rational solutions, each with one exponential variable (similarity solutions). We study the planar velocity models and explicitly write the results for the square 4-velocity and the hexagonal 6-velocity models introduced by Gatignol.     

Isotropization of solutions of the Einstein–Vlasov system with Bianchi V symmetry

Using the methods developed for different Bianchi class A cosmological models we treat the simplest Bianchi class B model, namely Bianchi type V. The future non-linear stability for solutions of the Einstein–Vlasov system is demonstrated and it is shown that these solutions are asymptotically stable to the Milne solution. Within the isotropic solutions of the Einstein–Vlasov system the spatially flat Friedmann solution is unstable within this class, and expanding models tend also to the Milne solution.     

New Exact Travelling Wave and Periodic Solutions of Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

Some new exact travelling wave and period solutions of discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation are found by using a hyperbolic tangent function approach, which was usually presented to find exact travelling wave solutions of certain nonlinear partial differential models. Now we can further extend the new algorithm to other nonlinear differential-different models.     

General properties of geophysical hydrodynamics models

The influence of simplifying assumptions used in geophysical hydrodynamics models on the general properties of space and time, as well as on the fundamental physical principles that underlie the mechanical systems, is studied. Analysis of the general properties of such models is supplemented by investigation of the peculiarities introduced by stratification into the solutions of nonlinear stationary models. The possibilities for representing the solutions as finite and infinite Fourier series in cylindrical coordinates are explored.     

Some Generalized Scalar Field Models with Abundant Soliton-Like configurations

Some generahed scalar field models are presented. It is shown that there exist generally three types of soliton solutions for the extended models. The form of the first type of the soliton solutions is model-independent. An arbitrary constant can be included in the second type of the soliton excitations which is model-dependent. The third type of the soliton solutions is also modeldependent but with no arbitrary constant. The extended φ⁴ model and sine-Gordon model are studied in detail.     

Soliton solutions for the super mKdV and sinh-Gordon hierarchy

The dressing and vertex operator formalism is emploied to study the soliton solutions of the $N=1$ super mKdV and sinh-Gordon models. Explicit two and four vertex solutions are constructed. The relation between the soliton solutions of both models is verified.     

The existence of Solitons in Gauged Sigma Models with Broken Symmetry: Some Remarks

We prove the existence of multisolitons in the gauged self-dual Maxwell and Chern–Simons sigma models with broken symmetry. In the context of topological solutions, the existence proofs rely on established results on earlier models. In the context of nontopological solutions with radial symmetry, the proof is by adapting a shooting argument.
