Analytical solution of time‐fractional Navier–Stokes equation in polar coordinate by homotopy perturbation method

In this letter, we implement a relatively new analytical technique, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), for solving linear partial differential equations of fractional order arising in fluid mechanics. The fractional derivatives are described in Caputo derivatives. This method can be used as an alternative to obtain analytic and approximate solutions of different types of fractional differential equations applied in engineering mathematics. The corresponding solutions of the integer order equations are found to follow as special cases of those of fractional order equations. Some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency and reliability of HPM. He's HPM, which does not need small parameter is implemented for solving the differential equations. In this method, a homotopy is introduced to be constructed for the equation. The initial approximations can be freely chosen with possible unknown constants that can be determined by imposing the boundary and initial conditions. It is predicted that HPM can be found widely applicable in engineering. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2010     

A new sine-Gordon equation expansion algorithm to investigate some special nonlinear differential equations

A new transformation method is developed using the general sine-Gordon travelling wave reduction equation and a generalized transformation. With the aid of symbolic computation, this method can be used to seek more types of solutions of nonlinear differential equations, which include not only the known solutions derived by some known methods but new solutions. Here we choose the double sine-Gordon equation, the Magma equation and the generalized Pochhammer–Chree (PC) equation to illustrate the method. As a result, many types of new doubly periodic solutions are obtained. Moreover when using the method to these special nonlinear differential equations, some transformations are firstly needed. The method can be also extended to other nonlinear differential equations.

As a consequence, more new types and general solutions are found which include rational solutions and irrational solutions and so on. The new method can also be applied to other nonlinear differential equations in mathematical physics.

Polygons of differential equations for finding exact solutions

A method for finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations is presented. Our method is based on the application of polygons corresponding to nonlinear differential equations. It allows one to express exact solutions of the equation studied through solutions of another equation using properties of the basic equation itself. The ideas of power geometry are used and developed. Our approach has a pictorial interpretation, which is illustrative and effective. The method can be also applied for finding transformations between solutions of differential equations. To demonstrate the method application exact solutions of several equations are found. These equations are: the Korteveg–de Vries–Burgers equation, the generalized Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation, the fourth-order nonlinear evolution equation, the fifth-order Korteveg–de Vries equation, the fifth-order modified Korteveg–de Vries equation and the sixth-order nonlinear evolution equation describing turbulent processes. Some new exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations are given.

Exact Solutions and Integrability of the Duffing – Van der Pol Equation

The force-free Duffing–Van der Pol oscillator is considered. The truncated expansions for finding the solutions are used to look for exact solutions of this nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Conditions on parameter values of the equation are found to have the linearization of the Duffing–Van der Pol equation. The Painlevé test for this equation is used to study the integrability of the model. Exact solutions of this differential equation are found. In the special case the approach is simplified to demonstrate that some well-known methods can be used for finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations. The first integral of the Duffing–Van der Pol equation is found and the general solution of the equation is given in the special case for parameters of the equation. We also demonstrate the efficiency of the method for finding the first integral and the general solution for one of nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations.

Fractional order iterative functional differential equations with parameter

In this paper, we study a fractional order iterative functional differential equation with parameter. Some theorems to prove existence of the iterative series solutions are presented under some natural conditions. Unfortunately, uniqueness results can not be obtained since the solution operator is not Lipschitz continuous but only Hölder continuous. Meanwhile, data dependence results of solutions and parameters provide possible way to describe the error estimates between explicit and approximative solutions for such problems. We also make some examples to illustrate our results. Finally, we conclude with some possible extensions to general parametrized iterative fractional functional differential equations.     

Continuous approximation of linear impulsive systems and a new form of robust stability

The time-scale tolerance for linear ordinary impulsive differential equations is introduced. How large the time-scale tolerance is directly reflects the degree to which the qualitative dynamics of the linear impulsive system can be affected by replacing the impulse effect with a continuous (as opposed to discontinuous, impulsive) perturbation, producing what is known as an impulse extension equation. Theoretical properties related to the existence of the time-scale tolerance are given for periodic systems, as are algorithms to compute them. Some methods are presented for general, aperiodic systems. Additionally, sufficient conditions for the convergence of solutions of impulse extension equations to the solutions of their associated impulsive differential equation are proven. Counterexamples are provided.     

Oscillation of differential equations in Banach spaces

Summary In this paper some properties of solutions of the differential equation Y″(t)++P(t) Y(t)=0 in Banach spaces are investigated. In particular, conditions are given for some solutions of such equations to possess an infinite number of zeros as t → ∞ while another condition ensures some solutions possess only a finite number of zeros, Some examples and a theorem show the concept of an oscillatory solution of a differential equation in a Banach space involves pathologies not found in the case of finite dimensional spaces. Upon specialization of the Banach spaces involved the results reduce to known theorems. Entrata in Redazione il 13 maggio 1969.

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.
