Non-existence and existence of localized solitary waves for the two-dimensional long-wave–short-wave interaction equations

In this study, we establish the non-existence and existence results for the localized solitary waves of the two-dimensional long-wave–short-wave interaction equations. Both the non-existence and existence results are based on Pohozaev-type identities. We prove the existence of solitary waves by showing that the solitary waves are the minimizers of an associated variational problem.     

On a homoclinic manifold of a coupled long-wave–short-wave system

A Bäcklund transformation is obtained for linearly unstable spatially independent plane-wave solutions of a system of coupled long-wave–short-wave resonance equations. Explicit expressions are constructed for the periodic orbits lying on a homoclinic manifold of a torus of planewaves by evaluating the Bäcklund transformation at double points of an irreducible factor of the Floquet spectral curve of the associated scattering problem.     

Compact kernel sections of long-wave–short-wave resonance equations on infinite lattices

In the present paper, we consider the nonautonomous long-wave–short-wave resonance equations on infinite lattices. We first prove the existence of compact kernel sections for the associated process. Then we give an upper bound of the Kolmogorov ε$\epsilon$-entropy and verify the upper semicontinuity of these kernel sections.     

Solitary waves for nonlinear Klein–Gordon equations coupled with Born–Infeld theory

We consider the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equations coupled with the Born–Infeld theory under the electrostatic solitary wave ansatz. The existence of the least-action solitary waves is proved in both bounded smooth domain case and R³${\mathbb{R}}^3$ case. In particular, for bounded smooth domain case, we study the asymptotic behaviors and profiles of the positive least-action solitary waves with respect to the frequency parameter ω. We show that when κ and ω   are suitably large, the least-action solitary waves admit only one local maximum point. When ω→∞$\omega \to \infty$, the point-condensation phenomenon occurs if we consider the normalized least-action solitary waves.

On the short-wave nature of Richtmyer–Meshkov instability

In the case of a variable period (wavelength) of a perturbed interface, the instability and stability of Richtmyer–Meshkov vortices in perfect gas and incompressible perfect fluid, respectively, are investigated numerically and analytically. Taking into account available experiments, the instability of the interface between the argon and xenon in the case of a relatively small period is modeled. An estimate of the magnitude of the critical period is given. The nonlinear (for arbitrary initial conditions) stability of the corresponding steady-state vortex flow of perfect fluid in a strip (vertical periodic channel) in the case of a fairly large period is shown.     

Global attraction to solitary waves for Klein–Gordon equation with mean field interaction

We consider a U(1)$\mathbf{U}(1)$-invariant nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation in dimension n?1$n?1$, self-interacting via the mean field mechanism. We analyze the long-time asymptotics of finite energy solutions and prove that, under certain generic assumptions, each solution converges as t→±∞$t\to \pm \infty$ to the two-dimensional set of all “nonlinear eigenfunctions” of the form ?(x)e−iωt$?(x)e^{-i\omega t}$. This global attraction is caused by the nonlinear energy transfer from lower harmonics to the continuous spectrum and subsequent dispersive radiation.     

Ax–Schanuel for linear differential equations

We generalise the exponential Ax–Schanuel theorem to arbitrary linear differential equations with constant coefficients. Using the analysis of the exponential differential equation by Kirby (The theory of exponential differential equations, 2006, Sel Math 15(3):445–486, 2009) and Crampin (Reducts of differentially closed fields to fields with a relation for exponentiation, 2006) we give a complete axiomatisation of the first order theories of linear differential equations and show that the generalised Ax–Schanuel inequalities are adequate for them.     

Small amplitude limit of solitary waves for the Euler–Poisson system

The one-dimensional Euler–Poisson system arises in the study of phenomena of plasma such as plasma solitons, plasma sheaths, and double layers. When the system is rescaled by the Gardner–Morikawa transformation, the rescaled system is known to be formally approximated by the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation. In light of this, we show existence of solitary wave solutions of the Euler–Poisson system in the stretched moving frame given by the transformation, and prove that they converge to the solitary wave solution of the associated KdV equation as the small amplitude parameter tends to zero. Our results assert that the formal expansion for the rescaled system is mathematically valid in the presence of solitary waves and justify Sagdeev's formal approximation for the solitary wave solutions of the pressureless Euler–Poisson system. Our work extends to the isothermal case.     

On the linear stability of simple and semi-simple periodic waves for a system of cubic Klein–Gordon equations

We study the linear stability of traveling wave solutions for the nonlinear wave equation and coupled nonlinear wave equations. It is shown that periodic waves of the dnoidal type are spectrally unstable with respect to co-periodic perturbations. Our arguments rely on a careful spectral analysis of various self-adjoint operators, both scalar and matrix and on instability index count theory for Hamiltonian systems.     

Darboux transformations for a matrix long-wave–short-wave equation and higher-order rational rogue-wave solutions

A new matrix long-wave–short-wave equation is proposed with the of help of the zero-curvature equation. Based on the gauge transformation between Lax pairs, both onefold and multifold classical Darboux transformations are constructed for the matrix long-wave–short-wave equation. Resorting to the classical Darboux transformation, a multifold generalized Darboux transformation of the matrix long-wave–short-wave equation is derived by utilizing the limit technique, from which rogue wave solutions, in particular, can be obtained by employing the generalized Darboux transformation. As applications, we obtain rogue-wave solutions of the long-wave–short-wave equation and some explicit solutions of the three-component long-wave–short-wave model, including soliton solutions, breather solutions, the first-order and higher-order rogue-wave solutions, and others by using the generalized Darboux transformation.     

Asymptotic stability of contact waves for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations

In this article, we study the large-time asymptotic behaviour of contact wave for the Cauchy problem of one-dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations with zero viscosity. When the Riemann problem for the Euler system admits a contact discontinuity solution, we can construct a contact wave, which approximates the contact discontinuity on any finite-time interval for small heat conduction and then runs away from it for large time, and prove that it is nonlinearly stable provided that the strength of contact discontinuity and the perturbation of the initial data are suitably small.     

Exact solutions of coupled sine–Gordon equations

By using a special rational exponential ansatz we find analytic solutions of coupled sine–Gordon equations. Such equations have some useful applications in Physics and Biology.     

On the global attraction to solitary waves for the Klein–Gordon equation coupled to a nonlinear oscillator

The long-time asymptotics are analyzed for all finite energy solutions to a model $\mathbf{U}(1)$-invariant nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation in one dimension, with the nonlinearity concentrated at a point. Our main result is that each finite energy solution converges as $t\to \pm \infty$ to the set of ‘nonlinear eigenfunctions’ $\psi (x){\mathrm{e}}^{?\mathrm{i}\omega t}$. To cite this article: A.I.

Boundary null-controllability of linear diffusion–reaction equations

This Note deals with the boundary null-controllability of linear diffusion–reaction equations in a 2D bounded domain. We transform the determination of the sought HUM boundary control into the minimization of a continuous and strictly convex functional. In the case of a rectangular domain where the diffusion tensor is represented by a diagonal matrix, we establish a procedure based on the inner product method that uses a complete orthonormal family of Sturm–Liouville's eigenfunctions to express explicitly the sought control.     

An Eulerian–Lagrangian method for coupled parabolic-hyperbolic equations

We present an Eulerian–Lagrangian method for the numerical solution of coupled parabolic-hyperbolic equations. The method combines advantages of the modified method of characteristics to accurately solve the hyperbolic equations with an Eulerian method to discretize the parabolic equations. The Runge–Kutta Chebyshev scheme is used for the time integration. The implementation of the proposed method differs from its Eulerian counterpart in the fact that it is applied during each time step, along the characteristic curves rather than in the time direction. The focus is on constructing explicit schemes with a large stability region to solve coupled radiation hydrodynamics models. Numerical results are presented for two test examples in coupled convection-radiation and conduction–radiation problems.
