Lie symmetry method is applied to analyse Fisher equation in cylindrical coordinates. Symmetry algebra is found and symmetry invariance is used to reduce the equation to a first-order ODE. The first-order ODE is further analysed to obtain exact solution of Fisher equation in explicit form.     

Nonclassical symmetry solutions for reaction–diffusion equations with explicit spatial dependence

Nonclassical symmetry methods are used to study the linear diffusion equation with a nonlinear source term which includes explicit spatial dependence. Mathematical forms for the spatial dependence are found which enable strictly nonclassical symmetries to be admitted when the nonlinearity is cubic. A number of new exact solutions are constructed, and an application of one of these solutions to diploid population genetics is discussed.     

High-order nonlinear boundary value problems admitting multiple exact solutions with application to the fluid flow over a sheet

We frame a hierarchy of nonlinear boundary value problems which are shown to admit exponentially decaying exact solutions. We are able to convert the question of the existence and uniqueness of a particular solution to this nonlinear boundary value problem into a question of whether a certain polynomial has positive real roots. Furthermore, if such a polynomial has at least two distinct positive roots, then the nonlinear boundary value problem will have multiple solutions. In certain special cases, these boundary value problems arise in the self-similar solutions for the flow of certain fluids over stretching or shrinking sheets; examples given include the flow of first and second grade fluids over such surfaces.     

A note on new exact solutions for the Kawahara equation using Exp-function method

Exact solutions of the Kawahara equation by Assas [L.M.B. Assas, New Exact solutions for the Kawahara equation using Exp-function method, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 233 (2009) 97-102] are analyzed. It is shown that all solutions do not satisfy the Kawahara equation and consequently all nontrivial solutions by Assas are wrong.     

A new note on exact complex travelling wave solutions for (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

Exact solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili by Zhang [Huiqun Zhang, A note on exact complex travelling wave solutions for (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, Appl. Math. Comput. 216 (2010) 2771-2777] are considered. To look for “new types of exact solutions travelling wave solutions” of equation Zhang has used the G′/G-expansion method. We demonstrate that there is the general solution for the reduction by Zhang from the (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation and all solutions by Zhang are found as partial cases from the general solution.     

Comment on “New types of exact solutions for nonlinear Schrodinger equation with cubic nonlinearity”

In this comment we analyze the paper [Abdelhalim Ebaid, S.M. Khaled, New types of exact solutions for nonlinear Schrodinger equation with cubic nonlinearity, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 235 (2011) 1984-1992]. Using the traveling wave, Ebaid and Khaled have found “new types of exact solutions for nonlinear Schrodinger equation with cubic nonlinearity”. We demonstrate that the authors studied the well-known nonlinear ordinary differential equation with the well-known general solution. We illustrate that Ebaid and Khaled have looked for some exact solution for the reduction of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation taking the general solution of the same equation into account.     

New exact solutions for the nonlinear wave equation with fifth-order nonlinear term

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the dynamical behavior of the nonlinear wave equation with fifth-order nonlinear term, and provides its bounded traveling wave solutions. Applying the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems, we depict phase portraits of the traveling wave system corresponding to this equation under various parameter conditions. Through discussing the bifurcation of phase portraits, we obtain all explicit expressions of solitary wave solutions and kink wave solutions. Further, we investigate the relation between the bounded orbit of the traveling wave system and the energy level h. By analyzing the energy level constant h, we get all possible periodic wave solutions.

Symmetry analysis and exact solutions of semilinear heat flow in multi-dimensions

A symmetry group method is used to obtain exact solutions for a semilinear radial heat equation in n>1 dimensions with a general power nonlinearity. The method involves an ansatz technique to solve an equivalent first-order PDE system of similarity variables given by group foliations of this heat equation, using its admitted group of scaling symmetries. This technique yields explicit similarity solutions as well as other explicit solutions of a more general (non-similarity) form having interesting analytical behavior connected with blow up and dispersion. In contrast, standard similarity reduction of this heat equation gives a semilinear ODE that cannot be explicitly solved by familiar integration techniques such as point symmetry reduction or integrating factors.     

Exact solutions of a two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In the present study, we converted the resulting nonlinear equation for the evolution of weakly nonlinear hydrodynamic disturbances on a static cosmological background with self-focusing in a two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Applying the function transformation method, the NLS equation was transformed to an ordinary differential equation, which depended only on one function ξ and can be solved. The general solution of the latter equation in ζ leads to a general solution of NLS equation. A new set of exact solutions for the two-dimensional NLS equation is obtained.

A new algebraic procedure to construct exact solutions of nonlinear differential-difference equations

This paper presents a new algebraic procedure to construct exact solutions of selected nonlinear differential-difference equations. The discrete sine-Gordon equation and differential-difference asymmetric Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov equations are chosen as examples to illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the new procedure, where various types of exact travelling wave solutions for these nonlinear differential-difference equations have been constructed. It is anticipated that the new procedure can also be used to produce solutions for other nonlinear differential-difference equations.     

New exact travelling wave solutions of two nonlinear physical models

In this paper, an improved tanh function method is used with a computerized symbolic computation for constructing new exact travelling wave solutions on two nonlinear physical models namely, the quantum Zakharov equations and the (2+1)-dimensional Broer–Kaup–Kupershmidt (BKK) system. The main idea of this method is to take full advantage of the Riccati equation which has more new solutions.The exact solutions are obtained which include new soliton-like solutions, trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions. The method is straightforward and concise, and its applications are promising.

Exact and explicit solutions for a nonlinear extended iterative differential equation

This paper is concerned with a nonlinear iterative functional differential equation x′(z) = 1/x(p(z) + bx′(z)). By constructing a convergent power series solution of an auxiliary equation, analytic solutions of the original equation are obtained. We discuss not only in the general case, but also in critical cases, especially for α given in Schröder transformation is a root of the unity. And in case (H4), we dealt with the equation under the Brjuno condition, which is weaker than the Diophantine condition. Moreover, the exact and explicit solution of the original equation has been investigated for the first time. Such equations are important in both applications and the theory of iterations.     

Exact and traveling-wave solutions for convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power-law nonlinearity

Based on the simplest equation method, we propose exact and traveling-wave solutions for a nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power law nonlinearity. Such equation can be considered as a generalization of the Fisher equation and other well-known convection-diffusion-reaction equations. Two important cases are considered. The case of density-independent diffusion and the case of density-dependent diffusion. When the parameters of the equation are constant, the Bernoulli equation is used as the simplest equation. This leads to new traveling-wave solutions. Moreover, some wavefront solutions can be derived from the traveling-wave ones. The case of time-dependent velocity in the convection term is studied also. We derive exact solutions of the equations by using the Riccati equation as simplest equation. The exact and traveling-wave solutions presented in this paper can be used to explain many biological and physical phenomena.
