On a ShallowWaterWave Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study a shallow water equation derivable using the Boussinesq approximation, which includes as two special cases, one equation discussed by Ablowitz et al [Stud. Appl. Math., 53 (1974) 249–315] and one by Hirota and Satsuma [J. Phys. Soc. Japan, 40 (1976) 611–612]. A catalogue of classical and nonclassical symmetry reductions, and a Painlevé analysis, are given. Of particular interest are families of solutions found containing a rich variety of qualitative behaviours. Indeed we exhibit and plot a wide variety of solutions all of which look like a two-soliton for t > 0 but differ radically for t < 0. These families arise as nonclassical symmetry reduction solutions and solutions found using the singular manifold method. This example shows that nonclassical symmetries and the singular manifold method do not, in general, yield the same solution set. We also obtain symmetry reductions of the shallow water equation solvable in terms of solutions of the first, third and fifth Painlevé equations. We give evidence that the variety of solutions found which exhibit “nonlinear superposition” is not an artefact of the equation being linearisable since the equation is solvable by inverse scattering. These solutions have important implications with regard to the numerical analysis for the shallow water equation we study, which would not be able to distinguish the solutions in an initial value problem since an exponentially small change in the initial conditions can result in completely different qualitative behaviours.

On the solving of matrix equation of Sylvester type
A solution of two problems related to the matrix equation of Sylvester type is given. In the first problem, the procedures for linear matrix inequalities are used to construct the solution of this equation. In the second problem, when a matrix is given which is not a solution of this equation, it is required to find such solution of the original equation, which most accurately approximates the ...
متن کاملOn a functional equation for symmetric linear operators on $C^{*}$ algebras
Let $A$ be a $C^{*}$ algebra, $T: Arightarrow A$ be a linear map which satisfies the functional equation $T(x)T(y)=T^{2}(xy),;;T(x^{*})=T(x)^{*} $. We prove that under each of the following conditions, $T$ must be the trivial map $T(x)=lambda x$ for some $lambda in mathbb{R}$: i) $A$ is a simple $C^{*}$-algebra. ii) $A$ is unital with trivial center and has a faithful trace such ...
متن کاملA Note on Solving Prandtl's Integro-Differential Equation
A simple method for solving Prandtl's integro-differential equation is proposed based on a new reproducing kernel space. Using a transformation and modifying the traditional reproducing kernel method, the singular term is removed and the analytical representation of the exact solution is obtained in the form of series in the new reproducing kernel space. Compared with known investigations, its ...
