Nonautonomous first integrals and general solutions of the KdV‐Burgers and mKdV‐Burgers equations with the source

The method for constructing first integrals and general solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is presented. The method is based on index accounting of the Fuchs indices, which appeared during the Painlevé test of a nonlinear differential equation. The Fuchs indices indicate us the leading members of the first integrals for the origin differential equation. Taking into account the values of the Fuchs indices, we can construct the auxiliary equation, which allows to look for the first integrals of nonlinear differential equations. The method is used to obtain the first integrals and general solutions of the KdV‐Burgers and the mKdV‐Burgers equations with a source. The nonautonomous first integrals in the polynomials form are found. The general solutions of these nonlinear differential equations under at some additional conditions on the parameters of differential equations are also obtained. Illustrations of some solutions of the KdV‐Burgers and the mKdV‐Burgers are given.     

Exact solutions of some systems of fractional differential‐difference equations

In this paper, the ‐expansion method is proposed to establish hyperbolic and trigonometric function solutions for fractional differential‐difference equations with the modified Riemann–Liouville derivative. The fractional complex transform is proposed to convert a fractional partial differential‐difference equation into its differential‐difference equation of integer order. We obtain the hyperbolic and periodic function solutions of the nonlinear time‐fractional Toda lattice equations and relativistic Toda lattice system. The proposed method is more effective and powerful for obtaining exact solutions for nonlinear fractional differential–difference equations and systems. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Efficient hybrid method for solving special type of nonlinear partial differential equations

In this article, an efficient hybrid method has been developed for solving some special type of nonlinear partial differential equations. Hybrid method is based on tanh–coth method, quasilinearization technique and Haar wavelet method. Nonlinear partial differential equations have been converted into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation by choosing some suitable variable transformations. Quasilinearization technique is used to linearize the nonlinear ordinary differential equation and then the Haar wavelet method is applied to linearized ordinary differential equation. A tanh–coth method has been used to obtain the exact solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. It is easier to handle nonlinear ordinary differential equations in comparison to nonlinear partial differential equations. A distinct feature of the proposed method is their simple applicability in a variety of two‐ and three‐dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations. Numerical examples show better accuracy of the proposed method as compared with the methods described in past. Error analysis and stability of the proposed method have been discussed.

New predictor‐corrector scheme for solving nonlinear differential equations with Caputo‐Fabrizio operator

In this paper, we develop a new, simple, and accurate scheme to obtain approximate solution for nonlinear differential equation in the sense of Caputo‐Fabrizio operator. To derive this new predictor‐corrector scheme, which suits on Caputo‐Fabrizio operator, firstly, we obtain the corresponding initial value problem for the differential equation in the Caputo‐Fabrizio sense. Hence, by fractional Euler method and fractional trapeziodal rule, we obtain the predictor formula as well as corrector formula. Error analysis for this new method is derived. To test the validity and simplicity of this method, some illustrative examples for nonlinear differential equations are solved.     

Semi‐invariant solutions of the Navier‐Stokes equations

We present new exact solutions and reduced differential systems of the Navier‐Stokes equations of incompressible viscous fluid flow. We apply the method of semi‐invariant manifolds, introduced earlier as a modification of the Lie invariance method. We show that many known solutions of the Navier‐Stokes equations are, in fact, semi‐invariant and that the reduced differential systems we derive using semi‐invariant manifolds generalize previously obtained results that used ad hoc methods. Many of our semi‐invariant solutions solve decoupled systems in triangular form that are effectively linear. We also obtain several new reductions of Navier‐Stokes to a single nonlinear partial differential equation. In some cases, we can solve reduced systems and generate new analytic solutions of the Navier‐Stokes equations or find their approximations, and physical interpretation.     

Application of one constructive method for the construction of non-Lie solutions of nonlinear evolution equations

We propose a constructive method for the construction of exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. The method is based on the investigation of a fixed nonlinear partial differential equation (system of partial differential equations) together with an additional condition in the form of a linear ordinary differential equation of higher order. By using this method, we obtain new solutions for nonlinear generalizations of the Fisher equation and for some nonlinear evolution systems that describe real processes in physics, biology, and chemistry.

Sub-equation methods are used for constructing exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. The key idea of these methods is to take full advantage of all kinds of special solutions of sub-equation, which is usually a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. We present a function transformation which not only gives us a clear relation among these sub-equation methods, but also can be used to obtain the general solutions of these sub-equations. And then new exact travelling wave solutions of the CKdV-MKdV equation and the CKdV equations as applications of this transformation are obtained, and the approach presented in this paper can be also applied to other nonlinear partial differential equations.

New exact solutions to the CDF equations

New exact soliton solutions to the Cologero–Degasperies–Fokas (CDF) equations in (1+1)-dimension and (2+1)-dimension by using the improved tanh method are investigated. First, the (1+1)-dimensional CDF equation is analyzed. By the improved tanh method, the corresponding nonlinear partial differential equation is reduced to the nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then the different types of exact solutions to the original equation are obtained based on the solutions of the Riccati equation. For the case of (2+1)-dimensional CDF equation the same computation procedure is carried out. It is presented that one could obtain new exact explicit solutions, which are traveling wave solutions, to (2+1)-dimensional CDF equation. Additionally, some graphical representations of the solitary and periodic solutions are presented.     

A method of solving a nonlinear boundary value problem with a parameter for a loaded differential equation

A nonlinear loaded differential equation with a parameter on a finite interval is studied. The interval is partitioned by the load points, at which the values of the solution to the equation are set as additional parameters. A nonlinear boundary value problem for the considered equation is reduced to a nonlinear multipoint boundary value problem for the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with parameters. For fixed parameters, we obtain the Cauchy problems for ordinary differential equations on the subintervals. Substituting the values of the solutions to these problems into the boundary condition and continuity conditions at the partition points, we compose a system of nonlinear algebraic equations in parameters. A method of solving the boundary value problem with a parameter is proposed. The method is based on finding the solution to the system of nonlinear algebraic equations composed.

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.
