On the basis of the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation in the steady form, a differential equation is developed to evaluate the successive water levels within compartments of an upright perforated wave absorber. Then the initial and boundary conditions are introduced and the differential equation is solved as an initial value problem. Finally the reflection coefficient from the wave...

It is important to seek for more explicit exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) in mathematical physics. With the help of symbolic computation software like Maple or Mathematica, much work has been focused on the various extensions and applications of the known methods to construct exact solutions of NLPDEs. Mathematical modelling of physical systems often leads t...

Supersonic flow of a superfluid past a slender impenetrable macroscopic obstacle is studied in the framework of the two-dimensional (2D) defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. This problem is of fundamental importance as a dispersive analog of the corresponding classical gas-dynamics problem. Assuming the oncoming flow speed is sufficiently high, we asymptotically reduce the original ...

We study the dispersive properties of the wave equation associated with the shifted Laplace–Beltrami operator on Damek–Ricci spaces, and deduce Strichartz estimates for a large family of admissible pairs. As an application, we obtain global well–posedness results for the nonlinear wave equation.

We study the dispersive properties of the wave equation associated with the shifted Laplace–Beltrami operator on real hyperbolic spaces and deduce new Strichartz estimates for a large family of admissible pairs. As an application, we obtain local well–posedness results for the nonlinear wave equation.

We extend the framework of the finite volume method to dispersive unidirectional water wave propagation in one space dimension. In particular we consider a KdV-BBM type equation. Explicit and IMEX Runge-Kutta type methods are used for time discretizations. The fully discrete schemes are validated by direct comparisons to analytic solutions. Invariants conservation properties are also studied. M...

We consider the weakly dissipative and weakly dispersive Burgers-Hopf-Korteweg-de-Vries equation with the diffusion coefficient ε and the dispersion rate δ in the range δ/ε → 0. We study the travelling wave connecting u(−∞) = 1 to u(+∞) = 0 and show that it converges strongly to the entropic shock profile as ε, δ → 0. Key-words Travelling waves, moderate dispersion, Korteweg de Vries equation, ...

Scattering of femtosecond laser pulses on resonant transmission and reflection gratings made of dispersive (Drude metals) and dielectric materials is studied by a time-domain numerical algorithm for Maxwell’s theory of linear passive (dispersive and absorbing) media. The algorithm is based on the Hamiltonian formalism in the framework of which Maxwell’s equations for passive media are shown to ...

Soliton equations are infinite-dimensional integrable systems described by nonlinear evolution equations. As one of the soliton equations, long wave equation takes on profound significance of theory and reality. By using the method of nonlinearization, the relation between long wave equation and second-order eigenvalue problem is generated. Based on the nonlinearized Lax pairs, Euler-Lagrange f...

In this paper, we study a class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) which admit families of small solitary wave solutions. We consider solutions which are small in the energy space H, and decompose them into solitary wave and dispersive wave components. The goal is to establish the asymptotic stability of the solitary wave and the asymptotic completeness of the dispersive wave. That is, we...
