This paper is devoted to the travelling wave analysis of the Euler-Poisson model for a plasma consisting of electrons and ions. When the Debye length tends to 0, this system leads to a nonlinear hyperbolic system in a nonconservative form called quasineutral Euler system. Our aim is to determine the admissible jump relations and shock solutions for the quasineutral Euler system as limits of tra...

This paper is concerned with instability of periodic travelling wave solutions of the modified Boussinesq equation. Periodic travelling wave solutions with a fixed fundamental period Lwill be constructed by using Jacobi’s elliptic functions. It will be shown that these solutions, called dnoidal waves, are nonlinearly unstable in the energy space for a range of their speeds of propagation and pe...

Tissue interaction plays a major role in many morphogenetic processes, particularly those associated with skin organ primordia. We examine travelling wave solutions in a tissue interaction model for skin pattern formation which is firmly based on the known biology. From a phase space analysis we conjecture the existence of travelling waves with specific wave speeds. Subsequently, analytical app...

An extended mapping method is used to drive some new exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations arising in physics,namely,generalized Hirota-Satsuma coupled KdV system and coupled Maccaris equations.As a result,many exact travelling wave solutions are obtained which include new solitary wave solutions,triangular and hyperbolic functions.Solutions in the limiting cases have...

We prove the existence of novel, shock-fronted travelling wave solutions to a model of wound healing angiogenesis studied in Pettet et al., IMA J. Math. App. Med., 17, 2000. In this work, the authors showed that for certain parameter values, a heteroclinic orbit in the phase plane representing a smooth travelling wave solution exists. However, upon varying one of the parameters, the heteroclini...

A class of particular travelling wave solutions of the generalized Benjamin-BonaMahony equation are studied systematically using the factorization technique. Then, the general travelling wave solutions of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation, and of its modified version, are also recovered. Pacs:05.45.Yv, 52.35.Mw, 52.35.Sb, 02.30.Jr

Euler’s equations describe the dynamics of gravity waves on the surface of an ideal fluid with arbitrary depth. In this paper, we discuss the stability of periodic travelling wave solutions to the full set of nonlinear equations via a non-local formulation of the water wave problem, modified from that of Ablowitz, Fokas & Musslimani (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 562, 2006, p. 313), restricted to a one-...

We study the travelling wave solutions for a system of coupled KdV equations derived by Lou et al [11]. In that paper, they found 5 types of Painlevé integrable systems for the coupled KdV system. We show that each of them can be reduced to a partially or completely uncoupled system, through which the dynamical behavior of travelling wave solutions can be determined. In some parameter regions, ...

In this paper, by using bifurcation method, we successfully find the K(2, 2) equation with osmosis dispersion ut+(u )x− (u)xxx = 0 possess two new types of travelling wave solutions called kink-like wave solutions and antikink-like wave solutions. They are defined on some semifinal bounded domains and possess properties of kink waves and anti-kink waves. Their implicit expressions are obtained....

This paper is concerned with the diffusive Nicholson’s blowflies model with nonlocal (or spatiotemporal) delay. When the spatial variable is one-dimensional, we establish the existence of travelling wave-front solutions by using the approach developed by Wang, Li, and Ruan (J. Differ. Equ. 222, 185–232, 2006) on the existence of travelling front solutions of reaction–diffusion systems with nonl...
