Generalization of Brittingham's localized solutions to the wave equation

A family of localized solutions of Brittingham's type is constructed for different cylindric coordinates. We use method of incomplete separation of variables with zero separation constant and, then, the Bateman transformation, which enables us to obtain solutions in the form of relatively undistorted progressing waves containing two arbitrary functions, each of which depends on a specific phase function.

Localized asymptotic solutions of the wave equation with variable velocity on the simplest graphs

The asymptotic behavior of the Cauchy problem for the wave equation with variable velocity and localized initial conditions on the line, semi-axis, and an infinite starlike graph is described. The solution consists of a short-wave and long-wave parts; the shortwave part moves along the characteristics, while the long-wave part satisfies the Goursat or Darboux problem. In the case of a star-like graph, the distribution of energy with respect to the edges is discussed; this distribution depends on the arrangement of the eigensubspaces of the unitary matrix that defines the boundary condition at the vertex of the star.     

Resonant interaction between a localized fast wave and a slow wave with constant asymptotic amplitude

An integrable Yajima-Oikawa system is solved in the case of a finite density, which corresponds to a slowly varying (long-wavelength) wave with finite amplitude at infinity and a localized fast-oscillating (short-wavelength) wave. Application of the results to spinor Bose-Einstein condensates and other physical systems is discussed.

The wave equation is solved by the operator separation method proposed in V. V. Zashkvara and N. N. Tyndyk, Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 61(4), 148 (1991) [Sov. Phys. Tech. Phys. 36, 456 (1991)]. Solutions describing the evolution of circular-multipole fields are obtained in a cylindrical coordinate system. Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 68, 9–14 (June 1998) Deceased.     

Behavior near the focal points of asymptotic solutions to the Cauchy problem for the linearized shallow water equations with initial localized perturbations

We study the behavior of the wave part of asymptotic solutions to the Cauchy problem for linearized shallow water equations with initial perturbations localized near the origin. The global representation for these solutions based on the generalized Maslov canonical operator was given earlier. The asymptotic solutions are also localized in the neighborhood of certain curves (fronts). The simplification of general formulas and the behavior of asymptotic solutions in a neighborhood of the regular part of fronts was also given earlier. Here the behavior of asymptotic solutions in a neighborhood of the focal point of the fronts is discussed in detail and the proof of formulas announced earlier for the wave equation is given. This paper can be regarded as a continuation of the paper in Russiian Journal of Mathematical Physics 15 (2), 192–221 (2008). In memoriam V.A. Borovikov     

Some properties of the asymptotic solutions of the Montroll-Weiss equation

Curves of asymptotic probability densities appropriate to the continuous time random walk model of Montroll and Weiss are presented and are calculated numerically using the fast Fourier transform. The behavior of the moments is briefly discussed and it is shown that the Einstein formula relating the diffusion and mobility coefficients can be generalized to include the case where the mean waiting time between hops is infinite.     

On the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the Caldirola-Kanai equation

We study in this Letter the asymptotic behavior, as t+, of the solutions of the one-dimensional Caldirola-Kanai equation for a large class of potentials satisfying the condition V(x)+ as |x|. We show, first of all, that if I is a closed interval containing no critical points of V, then the probability P _t (t) of finding the particle inside I tends to zero as t+. On the other hand, when I contains critical points of V in its interior, we prove that P _t (t) does not oscillate indefinitely, but tends to a limit as t+. In particular, when the potential has only isolated critical points x ₁, ..., x _N our results imply that the probability density of the particle tends to in the sense of distributions.Supported by Fulbright-MEC grant 85-07391.     

Two results concerning asymptotic behavior of solutions of the Burgers equation with force

We consider the Burgers equation with an external force. For the case of the force periodic in space and time we prove the existence of a solution periodic in space and time which is the limit of a wide class of solutions ast . If the force is the product of a periodic function ofx and white noise in time, we prove the existence of an invariant distribution concentrated on the space of space-periodic functions which is the limit of a wide class of distributions ast .     

On the rate of convergence to the normal law for solutions of the Burgers equation with singular initial data

We study the scaling limit of random fields which are the solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation known as the Burgers equation, under stochastic initial condition. These are assumed to be a Gaussian process with long-range dependence. We present some results on the rate of convergence to the normal law.     

Stability and collapse of localized solutions of the controlledthree-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation

On the basis of recent investigations, a newly developed analytical procedure is used for constructing a wide class of localized solutions of the controlled three-dimensional (3D) Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) that governs the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in the presence of a spatio-temporally varying external potential. The controlled 3D GPE is decomposed into a two-dimensional (2D) linear Schr?dinger equation (called the `transverse equation’) and a one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear Schr?dinger equation (called the `longitudinal equation’), constrained by a variational condition for the controlling potential. The latter corresponds to the requirement for the minimization of the control operation in the transverse plane. Then, the above class of localized solutions are constructed as the product of the solutions of the transverse and longitudinal equations. A consistency condition between the transverse and longitudinal solutions yields a relationship between the transverse and longitudinal restoring forces produced by the external trapping potential well through a `controlling parameter’ (i.e. the average, with respect to the transverse profile, of the nonlinear inter-atomic interaction term of the GPE). It is found that the longitudinal profile supports localized solutions in the form of bright, dark or grey solitons with time-dependent amplitudes, widths and centroids. The related longitudinal phase is varying in space and time with time-dependent curvature radius and wavenumber. In turn, all the above parameters (i.e. amplitudes, widths, centroids, curvature radius and wavenumbers) can be easily expressed in terms of the controlling parameter. It is also found that the transverse profile has the form of Hermite-Gauss functions (depending on the transverse coordinates), and the explicit spatio-temporal dependence of the controlling potential is self-consistently determined. On the basis of these exact 3D analytical solutions, a stability analysis is carried out, focusing our attention on the physical conditions for having collapsing or non-collapsing solutions.

Soliton resolution and asymptotic stability of N-solutions for the defocusing Kundu-Eckhaus equation with nonzero boundary conditions

In this paper,we address interesting soliton resolution,asymptotic stability of N-soliton solutions and the Painlevé asymptotics for the Kundu-Eckhaus(KE)equation with nonzero boundary conditions iqt+qxx-2(|q|2-1)q+4β2(|q|4-1)q+4iβ(|q|2)xq=0,q(x,0)=q0(x)～±1,x→±∞.The key to proving these results is to establish the formulation of a Riemann-Hilbert(RH)problem associated with the above Cauchy problem and find its connection with the RH problem of the defocusing NLS equation.With the(∂)-steepest descent method and the results of the defocusing NLS equation,we find complete leading order approximation formulas for the defocusing KE equation on the whole(x,t)half-plane including soliton resolution and asymptotic stability of N-soliton solutions in a solitonic region,Zakharov-Shabat asymptotics in a solitonless region and the Painlevé asymptotics in two transition regions.

New explicit nonperiodic solutions of the homogeneous wave equation

We exhibit a newansatz for the solution of the homogeneous three-dimensional time-dependent wave equation in spherical coordinates of the form Φ(r,t)=Y(θ, φ)(I(r)+G(g)), whereg ≡ct/r. FunctionG(g) has explicit solution in terms of three independent nonperiodic functionss _ℓ,t _ℓ,u _ℓ (s _ℓ andt _ℓ are related to the associated Legendre functions of the first and second kinds).G(g) is nonperiodic and may be cast as a superposition of incoming and outgoing waves. To obtainG(g), we solved a nonhomogeneous associated Legendre equation (this solution, to our knowledge, is also new).G(g) may prove useful in many microscopic and macroscopic problems, representable by homogeneous wave equations.
