New compacton-like and solitary patterns-like solutions to nonlinear wave equations with linear dispersion terms

It has been shown that many fully nonlinear wave equations with nonlinear dispersion terms possess compacton solutions and solitary patterns solutions. In this paper, with the aid of Maple, the mKdV equation, the equation with a source term, the five order KdV-like equation and the KdV–mKdV equation are investigated using some new, generalized transformations. As a consequence, it is shown that these equations with linear dispersion terms admit new compacton-like solutions and solitary patterns-like solutions. These transformations can be also extended to other nonlinear wave equations with nonlinear dispersion terms to seek new compacton-like solutions and solitary patterns-like solutions.     

New Jacobi elliptic functions solutions for the variable-coefficient mKdV equation

In this work, a new generalized Jacobi elliptic functions expansion method based upon four new Jacobi elliptic functions is described and abundant new Jacobi-like elliptic functions solutions for the variable-coefficient mKdV equation are obtained by using this method, some of these solutions are degenerated to solitary-like solutions and triangular-like functions solutions in the limit cases when the modulus of the Jacobi elliptic functions m→1 or 0, which shows that the new method can be also used to solve other nonlinear partial differential equations in mathematical physics.     

A Note on the Lie Symmetry Analysis and Exact Solutions for the Extended mKdV Equation

We discuss the recent paper by Liu and Li (Lie symmetry analysis and exact solutions for the extended mKdV equation, Acta Appl. Math. (2010), 109:1107?C1119) and illustrate that so called the ??extended mKdV equation?? by authors can be reduced to the usual form of the modified Korteweg?Cde Vries equation. We also correct some other statements by authors with respect to exact solutions of solutions for the ??extended mKdV equation??.     

Application of rational expansion method for stochastic differential equations

By means of the Hermite transformation, a new general ansätz and the symbolic computation system Maple, we apply the Riccati equation rational expansion method [24] to uniformly construct a series of stochastic non-traveling wave solutions for stochastic differential equations. To illustrate the effectiveness of our method, we take the stochastic mKdV equation as an example, and successfully construct some new and more general solutions. The method can also be applied to solve other nonlinear stochastic differential equation or equations.     

Motion of curves and solutions of two multi-component mKdV equations

Two classes of multi-component mKdV equations have been shown to be integrable. One class called the multi-component geometric mKdV equation is exactly the system for curvatures of curves when the motion of the curves is governed by the mKdV flow. In this paper, exact solutions including solitary wave solutions of the two- and three-component mKdV equations are obtained, the symmetry reductions of the two-component geometric mKdV equation to ODE systems corresponding to it’s Lie point symmetry groups are also given. Curves and their behavior corresponding to solitary wave solutions of the two-component geometric mKdV equation are presented.     

All meromorphic solutions of an ordinary differential equation and its applications

Dedicated to Professor Yuzan He on the Occasion of his 80th Birthday In this paper, we employ the complex method to obtain all meromorphic solutions of an auxiliary ordinary differential equation at first and then find out all meromorphic exact solutions of the combined KdV–mKdV equation and variant Boussinesq equations. Our result shows that all rational and simply periodic exact solutions of the combined KdV–mKdV equation and variant Boussinesq equations are solitary wave solutions, the method is more simple than other methods, and there exist some rational solutions w_r,2(z) and simply periodic solutions w_s,2(z) that are not only new but also not degenerated successively by the elliptic function solutions.

Novel composite function solutions of the modified KdV equation

A Wronskian form expansion method is proposed to construct novel composite function solutions to the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation. The method takes advantage of the forms and structures of Wronskian solutions to the mKdV equation, and Wronskian entries do not satisfy linear partial differential equations. The method can be automatically carried out in computer algebra (for example, Maple).     

All traveling wave exact solutions of three kinds of nonlinear evolution equations

In this article, we employ the complex method to obtain all meromorphic exact solutions of complex Klein–Gordon (KG) equation, modified Korteweg‐de Vries (mKdV) equation, and the generalized Boussinesq (gB) equation at first, then find all exact solutions of the Equations KG, mKdV, and gB. The idea introduced in this paper can be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations. Our results show that all rational and simply periodic solutions are solitary wave solutions, the complex method is simpler than other methods, and there exist some rational solutions w_2r,2(z) and simply periodic solutions w_1s,2(z),w_2s,1(z) in these equations such that they are not only new but also not degenerated successively by the elliptic function solutions. We have also given some computer simulations to illustrate our main results. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Traveling wave solutions for the mKdV equation and the Gardner equations by new approach of the generalized (G′/G)-expansion method

In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the new generalized (G′/G)-expansion method by seeking more exact solutions via the mKdV equation and the Gardner equations. The method is direct, concise and simple to implement compared to other existing methods. The traveling wave solutions obtained by this method are expressed in terms of hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational functions. The method shows a wide application for handling nonlinear wave equations. Moreover, the method reduces the large amount of calculations.     

Sub-manifold and traveling wave solutions of Ito's 5th-order mKdV equation

In this paper, we study Ito''s 5th-order mKdV equation with the aid of symbolic computation system and by qualitative analysis of planar dynamical systems. We show that the corresponding higher-order ordinary differential equation of Ito''s 5th-order mKdV equation, for some particular values of the parameter, possesses some sub-manifolds defined by planar dynamical systems. Some solitary wave solutions, kink and periodic wave solutions of the Ito''s 5th-order mKdV equation for these particular values of the parameter are obtained by studying the bifurcation and solutions of the corresponding planar dynamical systems.     

Generations of integrable hierarchies and exact solutions of related evolution equations with variable coefficients

We first propose a way for generating Lie algebras from which we get a few kinds of reduced 6 6 Lie algebras, denoted by R6, R8 and R1,R6/2, respectively. As for applications of some of them, a Lax pair is introduced by using the Lie algebra R6 whose compatibility gives rise to an integrable hierarchy with 4- potential functions and two arbitrary parameters whose corresponding Hamiltonian structure is obtained by the variational identity. Then we make use of the Lie algebra R6 to deduce a nonlinear integrable coupling hierarchy of the mKdV equation whose Hamiltonian structure is also obtained. Again,via using the Lie algebra R62, we introduce a Lax pair and work out a linear integrable coupling hierarchy of the mKdV equation whose Hamiltonian structure is obtained. Finally, we get some reduced linear and nonlinear equations with variable coefficients and work out the elliptic coordinate solutions, exact traveling wave solutions, respectively.     

A generalized AKNS hierarchy,bi-Hamiltonian structure,and Darboux transformation

A new generalized AKNS hierarchy is presented starting from a 4 × 4 matrix spectral problem with four potentials. Its generalized bi-Hamiltonian structure is also investigated by using the trace identity. Moreover, the special coupled nonlinear equation, the coupled KdV equation, the KdV equation, the coupled mKdV equation and the mKdV equation are produced from the generalized AKNS hierarchy. Most importantly, a Darboux transformation for the generalized AKNS hierarchy is established with the aid of the gauge transformation between the corresponding 4 × 4 matrix spectral problem, by which multiple soliton solutions of the generalized AKNS hierarchy are obtained. As a reduction, a Darboux transformation of the mKdV equation and its new analytical positon, negaton and complexiton solutions are given.     

Solitary wave solutions to the generalized coupled mKdV equation with multi-component

Using the Darboux matrix method, the multi-solitary wave solutions of the generalized coupled mKdV equation with multi-component are obtained. The obtained solution formulas provide us with a comprehensive approach to construct exact solutions for the generalized coupled mKdV equation by some basic solutions of the Boiti and Tu spectral problem.     

Asymptotic solutions and stability analysis for generalized non-homogeneous Mathieu equation

The asymptotic solutions and transition curves for the generalized form of the non-homogeneous Mathieu differential equation are investigated in this paper. This type of governing differential equation of motion arises from the dynamic behavior of a pendulum undergoing a butterfly-type end support motion. The strained parameter technique is used to obtain periodic asymptotic solutions. The transition curves for some special cases are presented and their corresponding periodic solutions with the periods of 2π and 4π are evaluated. The stability analyses of those transition curves in the ε–δ plane are carried out, analytically, using the multiple scales method. The numerical simulations for some typical points in the ε–δ plane are performed and the dynamic characteristics of the resulting phase plane trajectories are discussed.     

Miura transformation for the “good” Boussinesq equation

It is well known that each solution of the modified Korteveg–de Vries (mKdV) equation gives rise, via the Miura transformation, to a solution of the Korteveg–de Vries (KdV) equation. In this work, we show that a similar Miura-type transformation exists also for the “good” Boussinesq equation. This transformation maps solutions of a second-order equation to solutions of the fourth-order Boussinesq equation. Just like in the case of mKdV and KdV, the correspondence exists also at the level of the underlying Riemann–Hilbert problems and this is in fact how we construct the new transformation.     

The multi-component second modified Korteweg–de Vries equation and its two distinct integrable coupling types

A new isospectral problem is designed and the multi-component second mKdV equation is worked out from it. It follows that two distinct types of integrable couplings of the multi-component second mKdV equation are obtained by constructing two types of new loop algebras. As its reduction, two distinct types of integrable couplings of the multi-component KdV equation, the multi-component mKdV equation and the multi-component KdV–mKdV equation are presented.

As its illustration, some explicit and exact travelling wave solutions of Hybrid lattice, discretized mKdV lattice and modified Volterra lattice are obtained by computing the solutions of a lattice introduced by Wadati.     

A new rational auxiliary equation method and exact solutions of a generalized Zakharov system

A new rational auxiliary equation method for obtaining exact traveling wave solutions of constant coefficient nonlinear partial differential equations of evolution is proposed. Its effectiveness is evinced by obtaining exact solutions of a generalized Zakharov system, some of which are new. It is shown that the G^′/G and the generalized projective Ricatti expansion methods are special cases of the auxiliary equation method. Further, due the solutions obtained, four other new and practicable rational methods are deduced.     

Solitary wave solutions and cnoidal wave solutions to the combined KdV and mKdV equation

This paper presents a mapping approach for the construction of exact solutions to the combined KdV and mKdV equation. There exist two types of soliton solutions which will reduce back to those of the KdV and mKdV equations in some appropriate limits. Four types of the general cnoidal wave solutions are also obtained.     

A fifth order semidiscrete mKdV equation

In this paper,aiming to get more insight on the relation between the higher order semidiscrete mKdV equations and higher order mKdV equations,we construct a fifth order semidiscrete mKdV equation from the three known semidiscrete mKdV fluxes.We not only give its Lax pairs,Darboux transformation,explicit solutions and infinitely many conservation laws,but also show that their continuous limits yield the corresponding results for the fifth order mKdV equation.We thus conclude that the fifth order discrete mKdV equation is extremely an useful discrete scheme for the fifth order mKdV equation.
