A direct approach to exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations is proposed, by using rational function transformations. The new method provides a more systematical and convenient handling of the solution process of nonlinear equations, unifying the tanhfunction type methods, the homogeneous balance method, the exp-function method, the mapping method, and the F-expansion type m...

This work concerns the peristaltic flow of a Williamson fluid model in an inclined asymmetric channel under combined effects of heat and mass transfer. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are simplified under the lubrication approach and then solved analytically and numerically. The analytical results are computed with the help of regular perturbation and the numerical re...

Partial differential equations are ubiquitous in almost all applications of mathematics, where they provide a natural mathematical description of many phenomena involving change in physical, chemical, biological and social processes. The concept of entropy originated in thermodynamics and statistical physics during the nineteenth century to describe the heat exchanges that occur in the thermal ...

In this paper, the modified simplest equation method is successfully implemented to find travelling wave solutions of the generalized forms $B(n,1)$ and $B(-n,1)$ of Burgers equation. This method is direct, effective and easy to calculate, and it is a powerful mathematical tool for obtaining exact travelling wave solutions of the generalized forms $B(n,1)$ and $B(-n,1)$ of Burgers equation and ...

As the existence theory for solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations becomes better understood, one can begin to ask more detailed questions about the behavior of solutions of such equations. Given the bewildering complexity which can arise from relatively simple systems of ordinary differential equations, it is hopeless to try to describe fully the behavior which might arise from ...

The ultimate topic to be touched on in this book is the vast and active field of nonlinear partial differential equations. Leaving aside quantum mechanics, which remains to date an inherently linear theory, most real-world physical systems, including gas dynamics, fluid mechanics, elasticity, relativity, ecology, neurology, thermodynamics, and many more, are modeled by nonlinear partial differe...

Residual terms that appear in nonlinear PDEs that are constructed to generate filtered representations of the variables of the fully resolved system are examined by way of a consistency condition. It is shown that certain commonly used empirical gradient models for the residuals fail the test of consistency and therefore cannot be validated as approximations in any reliable sense. An alternate ...

and Applied Analysis 3 definition, it may happen that such a solution does not belong to any of the customary spaces of generalized functions. For example, given a function u : C \ {z0} −→ C 1.3 which is analytic everywhere except at the single point z0 ∈ C, and with an essential singularity at z0, Picard’s Theorem states that u attains every complex value, with possibly one exception, in every...

In this paper we consider infinite dimensional linear programming problems and study its connections with nonlinear partial differential equations.
