We present a spectrally accurate numerical method for finding non-trivial timeperiodic solutions of non-linear partial differential equations. The method is based on minimizing a functional (of the initial condition and the period) that is positive unless the solution is periodic, in which case it is zero. We solve an adjoint PDE to compute the gradient of this functional with respect to the in...

In this work, we successfully construct the new exact traveling wave solutions of the generalized Sinh–Gordon equation by new application of the homogeneous balance method. The idea introduced in this paper can be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations.

Theoretical research and equipment development of traveling-wave fault location seriously depend on digital simulation. Meanwhile, the fault-generated transient traveling wave must be transferred through transmission line, mutual inductor and secondary circuit before it is used. So this paper would maily analyze and summarize the modeling technology of transmission line and mutual inductor on t...

We consider the variational kinetic formulation of the Cauchy problem for a scalar conservation law due to Brenier[] and Panov[]. The solutions in this formulation are represented by a kinetic density function Y that solves a certain differential inclusion ∂tY ∈ A(Y ), in a suitable Hilbert space. In this paper we establish a sufficient “nondegeneracy” condition under which the operator A is th...

We comment on traveling wave solutions and rational solutions to the 3+1 dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equations: (ut + 6uux + uxxx)x ± 3uyy ± 3uzz = 0. We also show that both of the 3+1 dimensional KP equations do not possess the three-soliton solution. This suggests that none of the 3+1 dimensional KP equations should be integrable, and partially explains why they do not pass the Pa...

In this paper, tanh method is applied to obtain exact solutions for two systems of nonlinear wave equations, namely, two component evolutionary system of homogeneous KdV equations of order 3 (type I as well as type II). Moreover, traveling wave hypothesis is used to obtain sech solution of type II coupled KdV system, in a more general setting. The results show that this method presents exact so...

a modified f-expansion method to find the exact traveling wave solutions of  two-component nonlinear partial differential equations (nlpdes) is discussed. we use this method to construct many new solutions to the nonlinear whitham-broer-kaup system (1+1)-dimensional. the solutions obtained include jacobi elliptic periodic wave solutions which exactly degenerate to the soliton solutions, triangu...

We consider an evolution equation of parabolic type in R having a travelling wave solution. We study the effects on the dynamics of an appropriate change of variables which transforms the equation into a non local evolution one having a travelling wave solution with zero speed of propagation with exactly the same profile as the original one. This procedure allows us to compute simultaneously th...

The homogeneous balance method can be used to construct exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper, this method is used to construct new soliton solutions of the (3+1) Jimbo--Miwa equation.

This paper is concerned with the traveling wave solutions of a reaction-diffusion equation with state-dependent delay. When the birth function is monotone, the existence and nonexistence of monotone traveling wave solutions are established. When the birth function is not monotone, the minimal wave speed of nontrivial traveling wave solutions is obtained. The results are proved by the constructi...
