An observation on the periodic solutions to nonlinear physical models by means of the auxiliary equation with a sixth-degree nonlinear term

It is a fact that in auxiliary equation methods, the exact solutions of different types of auxiliary equations may produce new types of exact travelling wave solutions to nonlinear equations. In this manner, various auxiliary equations of first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation with distinct-degree nonlinear terms are examined and, by means of symbolic computation, the new solutions of original auxiliary equation of first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation with sixth-degree nonlinear term are presented. Consequently, the novel exact solutions of the generalized Klein–Gordon equation and the active-dissipative dispersive media equation are found out for illustration purposes. They are also applicable, where conventional perturbation method fails to provide any solution of the nonlinear problems under study.

Periodic problem for the nonlinear damped wave equation with convective nonlinearity

We study the nonlinear damped wave equation with a linear pumping and a convective nonlinearity. We consider the solutions, which satisfy the periodic boundary conditions. Our aim is to prove global existence of solutions to the periodic problem for the nonlinear damped wave equation by applying the energy-type estimates and estimates for the Green operator. Moreover, we study the asymptotic profile of global solutions.     

Convergence in variation of solutions of nonlinear Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov equations to stationary measures

We study convergence in variation of probability solutions of nonlinear Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov equations to stationary solutions. We obtain sufficient conditions for the exponential convergence of solutions to the stationary solution in case of coefficients that can have an arbitrary growth at infinity and depend on the solutions through convolutions with unbounded discontinuous kernels. In addition, we study a more difficult case where the nonlinear equation has several stationary solutions and convergence to a stationary solution depends on initial data. Finally, we obtain sufficient conditions for solvability of nonlinear Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov equations.     

A Nonlinear Scalarization Function and Generalized Quasi-vector Equilibrium Problems

Scalarization method is an important tool in the study of vector optimization as corresponding solutions of vector optimization problems can be found by solving scalar optimization problems. In this paper we introduce a nonlinear scalarization function for a variable domination structure. Several important properties, such as subadditiveness and continuity, of this nonlinear scalarization function are established. This nonlinear scalarization function is applied to study the existence of solutions for generalized quasi-vector equilibrium problems. This paper is dedicated to Professor Franco Giannessi for his 68th birthday     

Multidimensional exact solutions to the reaction-diffusion system with power-law nonlinear terms

We study a nonlinear reaction-diffusion system that is modeled by a system of parabolic equations with power-law nonlinear terms. The proposed construction of exact solutions enables us to split the process of finding the components depending on time and the spatial coordinates. We construct multiparametric families of exact solutions in elementary functions. The cases are elaborated of blow-up solutions as well as exact solutions time-periodic but spatially anisotropic.     

Existence and iterative algorithm of solutions for a system of generalized set-valued strongly nonlinear mixed variational-like inequalities problems in Banach spaces

In this paper, we introduce and study a new system of generalized set-valued strongly nonlinear mixed variational-like inequalities problems and its related auxiliary problems in reflexive Banach spaces. The auxiliary principle technique is applied to study the existence and iterative algorithm of solutions for the system of generalized set-valued strongly nonlinear mixed variational-like inequalities problems. Firstly, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the auxiliary problems for the system of generalized set-valued strongly nonlinear mixed variational-like inequalities problems. Secondly, an iterative algorithm for solving the system of generalized set-valued strongly nonlinear mixed variational-like inequalities problems is constructed by using this existence and uniqueness result. Finally, we show the existence of solutions of the system of generalized set-valued strongly nonlinear mixed variational-like inequalities problems and discuss the convergence analysis of this algorithm. These results improve, unify and generalize many corresponding known results given in literatures.

Construction and Study of Exact Solutions to A Nonlinear Heat Equation

We construct and study exact solutions to a nonlinear second order parabolic equation which is usually called the “nonlinear heat equation” or “nonlinear filtration equation” in the Russian literature and the “porous medium equation” in other countries. Under examination is the special class of solutions having the form of a heat wave that propagates through cold (zero) background with finite velocity. The equation degenerates on the boundary of a heat wave (called the heat front) and its order decreases. The construction of these solutions by passing to an overdetermined system and analyzing its solvability reduces to integration of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of the second order with an initial condition such that the equations are not solvable with respect to the higher derivative. Some admissible families of heat fronts and the corresponding exact solutions to the problems in question are obtained. A detailed study of the global properties of solutions is carried out by the methods of the qualitative theory of differential equations and power geometry which are adapted for degenerate equations. The results are interpreted from the point of view of the behavior and properties of heat waves with a logarithmic front.     

Dynamics of Strongly Nonlinear Internal Solitary Waves in Shallow Water

We study the dynamics of large amplitude internal solitary waves in shallow water by using a strongly nonlinear long-wave model. We investigate higher order nonlinear effects on the evolution of solitary waves by comparing our numerical solutions of the model with weakly nonlinear solutions. We carry out the local stability analysis of solitary wave solution of the model and identify an instability mechanism of the Kelvin–Helmholtz type. With parameters in the stable range, we simulate the interaction of two solitary waves: both head-on and overtaking collisions. We also study the deformation of a solitary wave propagating over non-uniform topography and describe the process of disintegration in detail. Our numerical solutions unveil new dynamical behaviors of large amplitude internal solitary waves, to which any weakly nonlinear model is inapplicable.

On the evolution equation for magnetic geodesics

Orbits of charged particles under the effect of a magnetic field are mathematically described by magnetic geodesics. They appear as solutions to a system of (nonlinear) ordinary differential equations of second order. But we are only interested in periodic solutions. To this end, we study the corresponding system of (nonlinear) parabolic equations for closed magnetic geodesics and, as a main result, eventually prove the existence of long time solutions. As generalization one can consider a system of elliptic nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) whose solutions describe the orbits of closed p-branes under the effect of a “generalized physical force”. For the corresponding evolution equation, which is a system of parabolic nonlinear PDEs associated to the elliptic PDE, we can establish existence of short time solutions.     

Solutions of n-point boundary value problems associated with nonlinear summary difference equations

Variation of parameter methods play a fundamental rôle in understanding solutions of perturbed nonlinear differential as well as difference equations. This paper is devoted to the study of n-point boundary value problems associated with systems of nonlinear first-order summary difference equations by using the nonlinear variation of parameter methods. New variational formulae, which provide connections between the solutions of initial value problems and n-point boundary value problems, are obtained. An iterative scheme for computing approximated solutions of the boundary value problems is also provided.     

Rarefaction Wave Interaction and Shock-Rarefaction Composite Wave Interaction for a Two-Dimensional Nonlinear Wave System

In order to construct global solutions to two-dimensional(2 D for short)Riemann problems for nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws,it is important to study various types of wave interactions.This paper deals with two types of wave interactions for a 2 D nonlinear wave system with a nonconvex equation of state:Rarefaction wave interaction and shock-rarefaction composite wave interaction.In order to construct solutions to these wave interactions,the authors consider two types of Goursat problems,including standard Goursat problem and discontinuous Goursat problem,for a 2 D selfsimilar nonlinear wave system.Global classical solutions to these Goursat problems are obtained by the method of characteristics.The solutions constructed in the paper may be used as building blocks of solutions of 2 D Riemann problems.     

Kleine periodische Lösungen bei nichtlinearen stark-elliptischen Systemen von partiellen Differentialgleichungen I

Strongly elliptic systems of nonlinear partial differential equations are considered in the case when the derivatives of the solutions occuring in the nonlinear terms have the same order as those in the linear principal part. The existence of periodic solutions for such systems is investigated. It is shown that this problem can be reduced to the study of algebraic bifurcation equations, whose small solutions correspond to the classical solutions of the given problem. A discussion of the bifurcation equations will be given in a forthcoming paper.
