Solutions of the generalized Lennard-Jones system

In this paper, we study solution structures of the following generalized Lennard-Jones system in R~n,x=(-α/|x|~(α+2)+β/|x|~(β+2))x,with 0 α β. Considering periodic solutions with zero angular momentum, we prove that the corresponding problem degenerates to 1-dimensional and possesses infinitely many periodic solutions which must be oscillating line solutions or constant solutions. Considering solutions with non-zero angular momentum, we compute Morse indices of the circular solutions first, and then apply the mountain pass theorem to show the existence of non-circular solutions with non-zero topological degrees. We further prove that besides circular solutions the system possesses in fact countably many periodic solutions with arbitrarily large topological degree, infinitely many quasi-periodic solutions, and infinitely many asymptotic solutions.     

A sub-supersolution approach for Neumann boundary value problems with gradient dependence

Existence and location of solutions to a Neumann problem driven by an nonhomogeneous differential operator and with gradient dependence are established developing a non-variational approach based on an adequate method of sub-supersolution. The abstract theorem is applied to prove the existence of finitely many positive solutions or even infinitely many positive solutions for a class of Neumann problems.     

Exact solitary wave solutions of nonlinear wave equations

The hyperbolic function method for nonlinear wave equations is presented. In support of a computer algebra system, many exact solitary wave solutions of a class of nonlinear wave equations are obtained via the method. The method is based on the fact that the solitary wave solutions are essentially of a localized nature. Writing the solitary wave solutions of a nonlinear wave equation as the polynomials of hyperbolic functions, the nonlinear wave equation can be changed into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. The system can be solved via Wu Elimination or Gr?bner base method. The exact solitary wave solutions of the nonlinear wave equation are obtained including many new exact solitary wave solutions.     

A series of complexiton soliton solutions for non-linear Hirota–Satsuma equations using the generalized multiple Riccati equations rational expansion method

In this article, the generalized multiple Riccati equations rational expansion method has been used to construct a series of complexiton soliton solutions for the non-linear Hirota–Satsuma equations. With the help of symbolic computation software as Maple or Mathematica, we obtain many new types of complexiton soliton solutions, i.e. various combination of trigonometric periodic function and hyperbolic function solutions, various combination of trigonometric periodic function and rational function solutions, and various combination of hyperbolic function and rational function solutions.     

A note on the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition for an elliptic system

In this note, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a system of coupled elliptic equations. We introduce a revised Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition, and show that the system has a nontrivial solution or even infinitely many solutions.     

Discrete Elliptic Dirichlet Problems and Nonlinear Algebraic Systems

In this paper we are interested in the existence of infinitely many solutions for a partial discrete Dirichlet problem depending on a real parameter. More precisely, we determine unbounded intervals of parameters such that the treated problems admit either an unbounded sequence of solutions, provided that the nonlinearity has a suitable behaviour at infinity, or a pairwise distinct sequence of solutions that strongly converges to zero if a similar behaviour occurs at zero. Finally, the attained solutions are positive when the nonlinearity is supposed to be nonnegative thanks to a discrete maximum principle.     

Existence of Non-degenerate Continua of Singular Radial Solutions for Several Classes of Semilinear Elliptic Problems

We establish the existence of countably many branches of uncountably many solutions to elliptic boundary value problems with subcritical, and subsuper critical growth. We also prove the existence of two branches of uncountably many solutions to a problem with jumping nonlinearities. This case is remarkable since, generically, this problem has only finitely many regular solutions.     

An extended subequation rational expansion method with symbolic computation and solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation model

To construct exact analytical solutions of nonlinear evolution equations, an extended subequation rational expansion method is presented and used to construct solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with varing dispersion, nonlinearity, and gain or absorption. As a result, many previous known results of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation can be recovered by means of some suitable selections of the arbitrary functions and arbitrary constants. With computer simulation, the properties of a new non-travelling wave soliton-like solutions with coefficient functions and some elliptic function solutions are shown by some figures.     

Function solutions to certain Diophantine equations

We investigate whether certain Diophantine equations have or have not solutions in entire or meromorphic functions defined on a non-Archimedean algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We prove that there are no non-constant meromorphic functions solving the Erdös–Selfridge equation except when the corresponding curve is a conic. We also show that there are infinitely many non-constant entire solutions to the Markoff–Hurwitz equation.     

Quasilinear elliptic non-homogeneous Dirichlet problems through Orlicz–Sobolev spaces

In this paper, we are interested in the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for a non-homogeneous eigenvalue Dirichlet problem. By using variational methods, in an appropriate Orlicz–Sobolev setting, we determine intervals of parameters such that our problem admits either a sequence of non-negative weak solutions strongly converging to zero provided that the non-linearity has a suitable behaviour at zero or an unbounded sequence of non-negative weak solutions if a similar behaviour occurs at infinity.     

The extended Jacobi elliptic function method to solve a generalized Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV equations

In this paper, we extend the Jacobi elliptic function rational expansion method by using a new generalized ansätz. With the help of symbolic computation, we construct more new explicit exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs). We apply this method to a generalized Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV equations and gain more general solutions. The general solutions not only contain the solutions by the existing Jacobi elliptic function expansion methods but also contain many new solutions. When the modulus of the Jacobi elliptic functions m → 1 or 0, the corresponding solitary wave solutions and triangular functional (singly periodic) solutions are also obtained.     

Multiple solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations for oscillation problems

We discussed oscillating equations with Neumann boundary value in [Nonlinear Anal. 54 (2003) 431-443] and [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 298 (2004) 14-32] and prove the existence of infinitely many nonconstant solutions. However, it seems difficult to find infinitely many disjoint order intervals for oscillating equations with Dirichlet boundary value. To get rid of this difficulty, in this paper, we build up a mountain pass theorem in half-order intervals and use it to study oscillating problems with Dirichlet boundary value in which we only have the existence of super-solutions (or sub-solutions) and obtain new results on the exactly infinitely many solutions.     

Construction of periodic and solitary wave solutions by the extended Jacobi elliptic function expansion method

In this paper, an extended Jacobi elliptic function expansion method is used with a computerized symbolic computation for constructing the exact periodic solutions of some polynomials or nonlinear evolution equations. The validity and reliability of the method is tested by its applications on a class of nonlinear evolution equations of special interest in nonlinear mathematical physics. As a result, many exact travelling wave solutions are obtained which include new solitary or shock wave solution and envelope solitary and shock wave solutions. The method is straightforward and concise, and it can also be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.     

Differential equations without uniqueness and classical topological dynamics

In this paper we present a point of view which allows one to interpret the solutions of a non-autonomous differential equation as a classical dynamical system, without assuming uniqueness of solutions of the initial value problem. In addition we are able to construct a global flow without assuming the global existence of solutions of the given differential equations. This point of view seems appropriate in the sense that many applications of the results of classical topological dynamics to the study of the solutions of differential equations can now be performed, in a straight-forward manner, without the uniqueness assumption. We shall illustrate this claim with one important application concerning the existence of periodic or almost periodic solutions.

A Variational Approach for One-Dimensional Scalar Field Problems

In this paper, we are interested in the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for a onedimensional scalar field problem. By using variational methods, in an appropriate functional space which involves the potential V, we determine intervals of parameters such that our problem admits either a sequence of weak solutions strongly converging to zero provided that the nonlinearity has a suitable behavior at zero or an unbounded sequence of weak solutions if a similar behavior occurs at infinity.     

Numerical approaches for computation of fronts

Moving fronts and pulses appear in many engineering applications like flame propagation and a falling liquid film. Standard computation methods are inappropriate since the problem is defined over an infinite domain and a steady-state solution exists only for a certain front velocity. This work presents a transformation that converts the original problem into a boundary-value problem within a finite domain, in a way that preserves the behavior at the boundaries. Good low-order approximations can be obtained as demonstrated by two examples. In another approach, a central element of adjustable length is incorporated into a three-element structure where the edge-elements obey known asymptotic solutions. That yields multiplicity of travelling fronts in an infinite domain but it successfully approximates standing wave solutions in a finite domain. The approximate solutions are shown to obey the qualitative features known for the exact solutions, like asymptotic solutions or the bifurcation set–the boundary where a new solution emerges or disappears.     

Regular and extremal solutions for difference equations with generalized phi-Laplacian

Non-oscillatory solutions for second-order difference equations with generalized phi-Laplacian are studied. Solutions are classified according to the asymptotic behaviour as regular or extremal solutions. Their existence and possible coexistence are investigated as well. In particular, the existence of infinitely many extremal solutions for equations with the discrete mean curvature operator is proved by means of an iterative method. This paper is completed by examples and some open problems.     

Bäcklund Transformations and Solution Hierarchies for the Third Painlevé Equation

In this article our concern is with the third Painlevé equation
d² y /d x ²= (1/ y )(d y /d x )²− (1/ x )(d y /d x ) + ( αy ²+ β )/ x + γy ³+ δ / y
where α, β, γ, and δ are arbitrary constants. It is well known that this equation admits a variety of types of solution and here we classify and characterize many of these. Depending on the values of the parameters the third Painlevé equation can admit solutions that may be either expressed as the ratio of two polynomials in either x or x ^1/3 or related to certain Bessel functions. It is thought that all exact solutions of (1) can be categorized into one or other of these hierarchies. We show how, given a few initial solutions, it is possible to use the underlying structures of these hierarchies to obtain many other solutions. In addition, we show how this knowledge concerning the continuous third Painlevé equation (1) can be adapted and used to derive exact solutions of a suitable discretized counterpart of (1). Both the continuous and discrete solutions we find are of potential importance as it is known that the third Painlevé equation has a large number of physically significant applications.
