Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation and its traveling solitary waves

The Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation has wide applications in physics, engineering and fluid mechanics. The Poincare phase plane analysis reveals that the Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation has neither nontrivial bell-profile traveling solitary waves, nor periodic waves. In the present paper, we show two approaches for the study of traveling solitary waves of the Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation: one is a direct method which involves a few coordinate transformations, and the other is the Lie group method. Our study indicates that the Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation indirectly admits one-parameter Lie groups of transformations with certain parametric conditions and a traveling solitary wave solution with an arbitrary velocity is obtained accordingly. Some incorrect statements in the recent literature are clarified.

Traveling waves for nonlocal and non-monotone delayed reaction-diffusion equations

We study the existence of traveling wave solutions for a nonlocal and non-monotone delayed reaction-diffusion equation. Based on the construction of two associated auxiliary reaction diffusion equations with monotonicity and by using the traveling wavefronts of the auxiliary equations, the existence of the positive traveling wave solutions for c 〉 c. is obtained. Also, the exponential asymptotic behavior in the negative infinity was established. Moreover, we apply our results to some reactiondiffusion equations with spatio-temporal delay to obtain the existence of traveling waves. These results cover, complement and/or improve some existing ones in the literature.     

Boundary Shape Control of the Navier-Stokes Equations and Applications

In this paper, the geometrical design for the blade's surface in an impeller or for the profile of an aircraft, is modeled from the mathematical point of view by a boundary shape control problem for the Navier-Stokes equations. The objective function is the sum of a global dissipative function and the power of the fluid. The control variables are the geometry of the boundary and the state equations are the Navier-Stokes equations. The Euler-Lagrange equations of the optimal control problem are derived, which are an elliptic boundary value system of fourth order, coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations. The authors also prove the existence of the solution of the optimal control problem, the existence of the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations with mixed boundary conditions, the weak continuity of the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations with respect to the geometry shape of the blade's surface and the existence of solutions of the equations for the Gateaux derivative of the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations with respect to the geometry of the boundary.

The new multiple(G′/G)-expansion method is proposed in this paper to seek the exact double traveling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations.With the aid of symbolic computation,this new method is applied to construct double traveling wave solutions of the coupled nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations and the coupled Schrdinger-Boussinesq equation.As a result,abundant double traveling wave solutions including double hyperbolic tangent function solutions,double tangent function solutions,double rational solutions,and a series of complexiton solutions of these two equations are obtained via this new method.The new multiple(G′/G)-expansion method not only gets new exact solutions of equations directly and effectively,but also expands the scope of the solution.This new method has a very wide range of application for the study of nonlinear partial differential equations.     

KINETIC FLUX VECTOR SPLITTING FOR THE EULER EQUATIONS WITH GENERAL PRESSURE LAWS

This paper attempts to develop kinetic flux vector splitting(KFVS)for the Euler equa-tions with general pressure laws.It is well known that the gas distribution function forthe local equilibrium state plays an important role in the construction of the gas-kineticschemes.To recover the Euler equations with a general equation of state(EOS),a newlocal equilibrium distribution is introduced with two parameters of temperature approx-imation decided uniquely by macroscopic variables.Utilizing the well-known connectionthat the Euler equations of motion are the moments of the Boltzmann equation wheneverthe velocity distribution function is a local equilibrium state,a class of high resolutionMUSCL-type KFVS schemes are presented to approximate the Euler equations of gas dy-namics with a general EOS.The schemes are finally applied to several test problems for ageneral EOS.In comparison with the exact solutions,our schemes give correct location andmore accurate resolution of discontinuities.The extension of our idea to multidimensionalcase is natural.     

THE TRAVELING WAVE SOLUTIONS AND APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS FOR BOUSSINESQ EQUATIONS

First, all possible traveling wave solutions of the Boussinesq equations in shallow water theory are discussed. It is shown that these solutions are periodic waves, convex solitary waves and concave solitary waves. Second, by using a reductive perturbation method, shallow water equation with a small damping term have been reduced to a single KdV-Burgers equation, from which the approximate solution of the original equations can be expressed.     

(mM)∞算子及Hamilton-Jacobi方程粘性解

Hamilton-Jacobi equations are frequently encountered in applications, e.g. , in control theory, differential games, and theory of economics, construct viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations having a nonconvex flux and a nonconvex initial value. The main idea is. decomposit flux into convex flux plus concave flux, with the help of a newly designed operator (mM)^∞ and Legendre transform, the viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations can be exactly ex-pressed. The (mM)^∞ type Solutions is proved to be the viscosity solutions ofHamilton-Jacobi equations. In fact our ( (mM)^∞ ) formula is a nonconvex generalization of the convex Lax-Oleinik-Hopf’s formula.     

Solitary Wave Solutions and Kink Wave Solutions for a Generalized PC Equation

We present in this paper a generalised PC (GPC) equation which includes several known models. The corresponding traveling wave system is derived and we show that the homoclinic orbits of the traveling wave system correspond to the solitary waves of GPC equation, and the heteroclnic orbits correspond to the kink waves. Under some parameter conditions, the existence of above two types of orbits is demonstrated and the explicit expressions of the two solutions are worked out.     

Modulation theory solution for nonlinearly resonant,fifth‐order Korteweg–de Vries,nonclassical, traveling dispersive shock waves

A new class of resonant dispersive shock waves was recently identified as solutions of the Kawahara equation— a Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) type nonlinear wave equation with third‐ and fifth‐order spatial derivatives— in the regime of nonconvex, linear dispersion. Linear resonance resulting from the third‐ and fifth‐order terms in the Kawahara equation was identified as the key ingredient for nonclassical dispersive shock wave solutions. Here, nonlinear wave (Whitham) modulation theory is used to construct approximate nonclassical traveling dispersive shock wave (TDSW) solutions of the fifth‐ order KdV equation without the third derivative term, hence without any linear resonance. A self‐similar, simple wave modulation solution of the fifth order, weakly nonlinear KdV–Whitham equations is obtained that matches a constant to a heteroclinic traveling wave via a partial dispersive shock wave so that the TDSW is interpreted as a nonlinear resonance. The modulation solution is compared with full numerical solutions, exhibiting excellent agreement. The TDSW is shown to be modulationally stable in the presence of sufficiently small third‐order dispersion. The Kawahara–Whitham modulation equations transition from hyperbolic to elliptic type for sufficiently large third‐order dispersion, which provides a possible route for the TDSW to exhibit modulational instability.     

Non-monotone traveling waves and entire solutions for a delayed nonlocal dispersal equation

This paper is concerned with the traveling waves and entire solutions for a delayed nonlocal dispersal equation with convolution- type crossing-monostable nonlinearity. We first establish the existence of non-monotone traveling waves. By Ikehara’s Tauberian theorem, we further prove the asymptotic behavior of traveling waves, including monotone and non-monotone ones. Then, based on the obtained asymptotic behavior, the uniqueness of the traveling waves is proved. Finally, the entire solutions are considered. By introducing two auxiliary monostable equations and establishing some comparison arguments for the three equations, some new types of entire solutions are constructed via the traveling wavefronts and spatially independent solutions of the auxiliary equations.     

The Exact Solutions for the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony Equation

The Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation represents the unidirectional propagation of nonlinear dispersive long waves, which has a clear physical background, and is a more suitable mathematical and physical equation than the KdV equation. Therefore, the research on the BBM equation is very important. In this article, we put forward an effective algorithm, the modified hyperbolic function expanding method, to build the solutions of the BBM equation. We, by utilizing the modified hyperbolic function expanding method, obtain the traveling wave solutions of the BBM equation. When the parameters are taken as special values, the solitary waves are also derived from the traveling waves. The traveling wave solutions are expressed by the hyperbolic functions, the trigonometric functions and the rational functions. The modified hyperbolic function expanding method is direct, concise, elementary and effective, and can be used for many other nonlinear partial differential equations.     

Smooth and non-smooth traveling wave solutions of some generalized Camassa–Holm equations

In this paper we employ two recent analytical approaches to investigate the possible classes of traveling wave solutions of some members of a recently-derived integrable family of generalized Camassa–Holm (GCH) equations. A recent, novel application of phase-plane analysis is employed to analyze the singular traveling wave equations of three of the GCH NLPDEs, i.e. the possible non-smooth peakon and cuspon solutions. One of the considered GCH equations supports both solitary (peakon) and periodic (cuspon) cusp waves in different parameter regimes. The second equation does not support singular traveling waves and the last one supports four-segmented, non-smooth M-wave solutions.Moreover, smooth traveling waves of the three GCH equations are considered. Here, we use a recent technique to derive convergent multi-infinite series solutions for the homoclinic orbits of their traveling-wave equations, corresponding to pulse (kink or shock) solutions respectively of the original PDEs. We perform many numerical tests in different parameter regime to pinpoint real saddle equilibrium points of the corresponding GCH equations, as well as ensure simultaneous convergence and continuity of the multi-infinite series solutions for the homoclinic orbits anchored by these saddle points. Unlike the majority of unaccelerated convergent series, high accuracy is attained with relatively few terms. We also show the traveling wave nature of these pulse and front solutions to the GCH NLPDEs.     

Asymptotic stability of traveling waves for delayed reaction-diffusion equations with crossing-monostability

This paper is concerned with the traveling waves for a class of delayed reaction-diffusion equations with crossing-monostability. In the previous papers, we established the existence and uniqueness of traveling waves which may not be monotone. However, the stability of such traveling waves remains open. In this paper, by means of the (technical) weighted energy method, we prove that the traveling wave is exponentially stable, when the initial perturbation around the wave is relatively small in a weighted norm. As applications, we consider the delayed diffusive Nicholson??s blowflies equation in population dynamics and Mackey?CGlass model in physiology.

Interacting Wave Fronts and Rarefaction Waves in a Second Order Model of Nonlinear Thermoviscous Fluids

A wave equation including nonlinear terms up to the second order for a thermoviscous Newtonian fluid is proposed. In the lossless case this equation results from an expansion to third order of the Lagrangian for the fundamental non-dissipative fluid dynamical equations. Thus it preserves the Hamiltonian structure, in contrast to the Kuznetsov equation, a model often used in nonlinear acoustics. An exact traveling wave front solution is derived from a generalized traveling wave assumption for the velocity potential. Numerical studies of the evolution of a number of arbitrary initial conditions as well as head-on colliding and confluent wave fronts exhibit several nonlinear interaction phenomena. These include wave fronts of changed velocity and amplitude along with the emergence of rarefaction waves. An analysis using the continuity of the solutions as well as the boundary conditions is proposed. The dynamics of the rarefaction wave is approximated by a collective coordinate approach in the energy balance equation.     

Nonlinear Hamiltonian waves with constant frequency and surface waves on vorticity discontinuities

Waves with constant, nonzero linearized frequency form an interesting class of nondispersive waves whose properties differ from those of nondispersive hyperbolic waves. We propose an inviscid Burgers‐Hilbert equation as a model equation for such waves and give a dimensional argument to show that it models Hamiltonian surface waves with constant frequency. Using the method of multiple scales, we derive a cubically nonlinear, quasi‐linear, nonlocal asymptotic equation for weakly nonlinear solutions. We show that the same asymptotic equation describes surface waves on a planar discontinuity in vorticity in two‐dimensional inviscid, incompressible fluid flows. Thus, the Burgers‐Hilbert equation provides an effective equation for these waves. We describe the Hamiltonian structure of the Burgers‐Hilbert and asymptotic equations, and show that the asymptotic equation can also be derived by means of a near‐identity transformation. We derive a semiclassical approximation of the asymptotic equation and show that spatially periodic, harmonic traveling waves are linearly and modulationally stable. Numerical solutions of the Burgers‐Hilbert and asymptotic equations are in excellent agreement in the appropriate regime. In particular, the lifespan of small‐amplitude smooth solutions of the Burgers‐Hilbert equation is given by the cubically nonlinear timescale predicted by the asymptotic equation. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Composite Waves for a Cell Population System Modelling Tumor Growth and Invasion

In the recent biomechanical theory of cancer growth, solid tumors are considered as liquid-like materials comprising elastic components. In this fluid mechanical view, the expansion ability of a solid tumor into a host tissue is mainly driven by either the cell diffusion constant or the cell division rate, with the latter depending on the local cell density (contact inhibition) or/and on the mechanical stress in the tumor. For the two by two degenerate parabolic/elliptic reaction-diffusion system that results from this modeling, the authors prove that there are always traveling waves above a minimal speed, and analyse their shapes. They appear to be complex with composite shapes and discontinuities. Several small parameters allow for analytical solutions, and in particular, the incompressible cells limit is very singular and related to the Hele-Shaw equation. These singular traveling waves are recovered numerically.
