The power of this manageable method is confirmed by applying it for two selected nonlinear partial equations. This approach can also be applied to other systems of nonlinear differential equations.     

非线性发展方程行波解的符号计算

Abstract. A Riccati equation involving a parameter and symbolic computation are used to uni-formly construct the different forms of travelling wave solutions for nonlinear evolution equa-tions. It is shown that the sign of the parameter can be applied in judging the existence of vari-ous forms of travelling wave solutions. An efficiency of this method is demonstrated on some e-quations,which include Burgers-Huxley equation,Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon-Kawada equation,gen-eralized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation and generalized Fisher equation.     

Exact solutions of some nonlinear systems of partial differential equations by using the first integral method

In recent years, many approaches have been utilized for finding the exact solutions of nonlinear systems of partial differential equations. In this paper, the first integral method introduced by Feng is adopted for solving some important nonlinear systems of partial differential equations, including, KdV, Kaup–Boussinesq and Wu–Zhang systems, analytically. By means of this method, some exact solutions for these systems of equations are formally obtained. The results obtained confirm that the proposed method is an efficient technique for analytic treatment of a wide variety of nonlinear systems of partial differential equations.

Problems that are modeled by nonlinear evolution equations occur in many areas of applied sciences.

By means of the established first integrals, some exact traveling wave solutions are obtained in a concise manner. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, we apply the exp-function method to construct generalized solitary and periodic solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. The proposed technique is tested on the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) and Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Modified-Equal-Width (ZK-MEW) equations. These equations play a very important role in mathematical physics and engineering sciences. The suggested algorithm is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in these problems. Numerical results clearly indicate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed exp-function method.

Numerical solutions of nonlinear evolution equations using variational iteration method

The variational iteration method is used to solve three kinds of nonlinear partial differential equations, coupled nonlinear reaction diffusion equations, Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV system and Drinefel’d–Sokolov–Wilson equations. Numerical solutions obtained by the variational iteration method are compared with the exact solutions, revealing that the obtained solutions are of high accuracy. He's variational iteration method is introduced to overcome the difficulty arising in calculating Adomian polynomial in Adomian method. The method is straightforward and concise, and it can also be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.

Numerical solutions for some coupled nonlinear evolution equations by using spectral collocation method

In this paper, we introduce a spectral collocation method based on Lagrange polynomials for spatial derivatives to obtain numerical solutions for some coupled nonlinear evolution equations. The problem is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations that are solved by the fourth order Runge–Kutta method. Numerical results of coupled Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations, coupled modified KdV equations, coupled KdV system and Boussinesq system are obtained. The present results are in good agreement with the exact solutions. Moreover, the method can be applied to a wide class of coupled nonlinear evolution equations.     

Convergence to steady states of solutions to nonlinear integral evolution equations

We prove that any global bounded solution of the nonlinear evolutionary integral equation $$\dot{u}(t) + \int\limits_0^t a(t-s)\mathcal{E}'(u(s))ds =f(t), \quad t >0 $$ tends to a single equilibrium state for long time (i.e., ${\mathcal{E}'(\vartheta)=0}$ where ${\vartheta= \lim_{t \rightarrow \infty} u(t)}$ on a real Hilbert space), where ${\mathcal{E}'}$ is the Fréchet derivative of a functional ${\mathcal{E}}$ , which satisfies the ?ojasiewicz?CSimon inequality near ${\vartheta}$ . The vector-valued function f and the scalar kernel a satisfy suitable conditions.

These equations play a very important role in mathematical physics and engineering sciences. The suggested algorithm is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in these problems. Obtained results clearly indicate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed exp-function method.

The existence of a continuous periodic solution of the system

Travelling wave solutions of multisymplectic discretizations of semi-linear wave equations

How well do multisymplectic discretisations preserve travelling wave solutions? To answer this question, the 5-point central difference scheme is applied to the semi-linear wave equation. A travelling wave ansatz leads to an ordinary difference equation whose solutions can be compared to travelling wave solutions of the PDE. For a discontinuous nonlinearity the difference equation is solved exactly. For continuous nonlinearities the difference equation is solved using a Fourier series, and resonances that depend on the grid-size are revealed for a smooth nonlinearity. In general, the infinite dimensional functional equation, which must be solved to get the travelling wave solutions, is intractable, but backward error analysis proves to be a powerful tool, as it provides a way to study the solutions of equation through a simple ODE that describes the behavior to arbitrarily high order. A general framework for using backward error analysis to analyze preservation of travelling waves for other equations and discretisations is presented. Then, the advantages that multisymplectic methods have over other methods are briefly highlighted.     

Newton's method and periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations

We prove the existence of periodic solutions of the nonlinear wave equation satisfying either Dirichlet or periodic boundary conditions on the interval [O, π]. The coefficients of the eigenfunction expansion of this equation satisfy a nonlinear functional equation. Using a version of Newton's method, we show that this equation has solutions provided the nonlinearity g(x, u) satisfies certain generic conditions of nonresonance and genuine nonlinearity. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A classification of these equations admitting functionally separable solutions is performed and the resulting solutions are obtained in explicit form in many cases.
