In this paper, Lie symmetry method is performed for the Hirota–Ramani (H–R) equation. We will find the symmetry group and optimal systems of Lie subalgebras. Furthermore, preliminary classification of its group invariant solutions, symmetry reduction and nonclassical symmetries are investigated. Finally conservation laws of the H–R equation are presented.     

Instantaneous blow-up of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem for the Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya equation

The Cauchy problem for a second-order nonlinear equation with mixed derivatives is considered. It is proved that its classical local-in-time solution does not exist. The blow-up of the solution is proved by applying S.I. Pohozaev and E.L. Mitidieri’s nonlinear capacity method.     

Solution Blowup for Nonlinear Equations of the Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya Type

We consider several nonlinear evolution equations sharing a nonlinearity of the form ?²u²/?t². Such a nonlinearity is present in the Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya equation, in other equations in the theory of nonlinear waves in a fluid, and also in equations in the theory of electromagnetic waves and ion–sound waves in a plasma. We consider sufficient conditions for a blowup regime to arise and find initial functions for which a solution understood in the classical sense is totally absent, even locally in time, i.e., we study the problem of an instantaneous blowup of classical solutions.

This paper obtains the solitary wave solution of the generalized Zakharov–Kuznetsov modified equal width equation. The solitary wave ansatz method is used to carry out the integration of this equation. A couple of conserved quantities are calculated. The domain restriction is identified for the power law nonlinearity parameter.     

Lie group symmetries and Riemann function of Klein–Gordon–Fock equation with central symmetry

In the present paper Lie symmetry group method is applied to find new exact invariant solutions for Klein–Gordon–Fock equation with central symmetry. The found invariant solutions are important for testing finite-difference computational schemes of various boundary value problems of Klein–Gordon–Fock equation with central symmetry. The classical admitted symmetries of the equation are found. The infinitesimal symmetries of the equation are used to find the Riemann function constructively.     

Group classification of a generalized Black–Scholes–Merton equation

The complete group classification of a generalization of the Black–Scholes–Merton model is carried out by making use of the underlying equivalence and additional equivalence transformations. For each nonlinear case obtained through this classification, invariant solutions are given. To that end, two boundary conditions of financial interest are considered, the terminal and the barrier option conditions.     

The Cauchy problem for the generalized Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation on modulation spaces

We consider the Cauchy problem for the generalized Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation ${?}_{t}u+{?}_{x_1}\mathrm{\Delta }u={?}_{x_1}(u^{m+1})$ on three and higher dimensions. We mainly study the local well-posedness and the small data global well-posedness in the modulation space $M_{2,1}^0({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ for $m\ge 4$ and $n\ge 3$. We also investigate the quartic case, i.e., $m=3$.     

New exact solutions to the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation and its generalized form

In this paper, the extended hyperbolic function method is used for analytic treatment of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Zakharov–Kuznetsov (ZK) equation and its generalized form. We can obtained some new explicit exact solitary wave solutions, the multiple nontrivial exact periodic travelling wave solutions, the solitons solutions and complex solutions. Some known results in the literatures can be regarded as special cases. The methods employed here can also be used to solve a large class of nonlinear evolution equations.     

Rapidly oscillating solutions of a generalized Korteweg–de Vries equation

For a generalized Korteweg–de Vries equation, the existence of families of rapidly oscillating periodic solutions is proved and their asymptotic representation is found. The asymptotics of tori of different dimensions are examined. Formulas for solutions depending on all parameters of the problem are derived.     

On the nonlinear self-adjointness of the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation

A new general theorem, which does not require the existence of Lagrangians, allows to compute conservation laws for an arbitrary differential equation. This theorem is based on the concept of self-adjoint equations for nonlinear equations. In this paper we show that the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation is self-adjoint and nonlinearly self-adjoint. This property is used to compute conservation laws corresponding to the symmetries of the equation. In particular the property of the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation to be self-adjoint and nonlinearly self-adjoint allows us to get more conservation laws.     

Asymptotic behavior of a generalized Cahn–Hilliard equation with a mass source

We consider in this article a generalized Cahn–Hilliard equation with mass source (nonlinear reaction term) which has applications in biology. We are interested in the well-posedness and the study of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions (and, more precisely, the existence of finite-dimensional attractors). We first consider the usual Dirichlet boundary conditions and then Neumann boundary conditions. The latter require additional assumptions on the mass source term to obtain the dissipativity. Indeed, otherwise, the order parameter u can blow up in finite time. We also give numerical simulations which confirm the theoretical results.     

Asymptotic behaviour of a generalized Cahn–Hilliard equation with a proliferation term

Stability of discontinuity structures described by a generalized KdV–Burgers equation

The stability of discontinuities representing solutions of a model generalized KdV–Burgers equation with a nonmonotone potential of the form φ(u) = u⁴–u² is analyzed. Among these solutions, there are ones corresponding to special discontinuities. A discontinuity is called special if its structure represents a heteroclinic phase curve joining two saddle-type special points (of which one is the state ahead of the discontinuity and the other is the state behind the discontinuity).The spectral (linear) stability of the structure of special discontinuities was previously studied. It was shown that only a special discontinuity with a monotone structure is stable, whereas special discontinuities with a nonmonotone structure are unstable. In this paper, the spectral stability of nonspecial discontinuities is investigated. The structure of a nonspecial discontinuity represents a phase curve joining two special points: a saddle (the state ahead of the discontinuity) and a focus or node (the state behind the discontinuity). The set of nonspecial discontinuities is examined depending on the dispersion and dissipation parameters. A set of stable nonspecial discontinuities is found.     

Conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetries and functionally generalized separable solutions to the generalized porous medium equations with source

The functionally generalized separable solutions of the generalized porous medium equations with power law and exponential diffusivity are studied by using the conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetry method. The variant forms of the considered equations, which admit the linear conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetries, are identified. A number of examples are considered and some exact solutions, defined on the polynomial, trigonometric and exponential invariant subspaces determined by the linear conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetries, are constructed.     

Exact solutions of the generalized Sinh–Gordon equation

In this paper, we successfully derive a new exact traveling wave solutions of the generalized Sinh–Gordon equation by new application of the homogeneous balance method. This method could be used in further works to establish more entirely new solutions for other kinds of nonlinear evolution equations arising in physics.

Optimal decay rates of solutions for a multidimensional generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation

In this paper, we study the optimal decay rates of solutions for the generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation in multi-dimensional space (n≥3$n\ge 3$). By using Fourier transform and the energy method, we obtain the L^q(2≤q≤∞)$L^q(2\le q\le \infty )$ convergence rates of the solutions under the condition that the initial data is small. The optimal decay rates obtained in this paper are found to be the same as the decay rate for the Heat equation.     

Analytical-numerical investigation of a singular boundary value problem for a generalized Emden–Fowler equation

In this paper we are concerned about a singular boundary value problem for a quasilinear second-order ordinary differential equation, involving the one-dimensional p$p$-laplacian. Asymptotic expansions of the one-parameter families of solutions, satisfying the prescribed boundary conditions, are obtained in the neighborhood of the singular points and this enables us to compute numerical solutions using stable shooting methods.
