It has been known for a while that a nonlinear equation driven by singular noise must be interpreted in the re-normalized, or Wick, form. For the stochastic Burgers equation, Wick nonlinearity forces the solution to be a generalized process no matter how regular the random perturbation is, whence the curse. On the other hand, certain multiplicative random perturbations of the deterministic Burg...

The "t-model" for dimensional reduction is applied to the estimation of the rate of decay of solutions of the Burgers equation and of the Euler equations in two and three space dimensions. The model was first derived in a statistical mechanics context, but here we analyze it purely as a numerical tool and prove its convergence. In the Burgers case, the model captures the rate of decay exactly, ...

A new differential quadrature method based on quartic B-spline functions is introduced. The weighting coefficients are determined via a semi-explicit algorithm containing an algebraic equation system with four-band coefficient matrix. In order to validate the proposed method, the Burgers’ Equation is selected as test problem. The shock wave and the sinusoidal disturbance solutions of the Burger...

In this paper we study the large time behavior for the viscous Burgers’ equation with initial data in L(R). In particular, after a time dependent scaling, we provide the optimal rate of convergence in relative entropy and Wasserstein metric, towards an equilibrium state corresponding to a positive diffusive wave. The main tool in our analysis is the reduction of the rescaled Burgers’ equation t...

We proposed a higher-order accurate explicit finite-difference scheme for solving the two-dimensional heat equation. It has a fourth-order approximation in the space variables, and a secondorder approximation in the time variable. As an application, we developed the proposed numerical scheme for solving a numerical solution of the two-dimensional coupled Burgers’ equations. The main advantages ...

In this paper, a semi-implicit finite-difference method is used to find the numerical solution of two-dimensional Coupled Burgers’ equation. The proposed scheme forms a system of linear algebraic difference equations to be solved at each time-step. The linear system is solved by direct method. Numerical results are compared with those of exact solutions and other available results. The present ...

We establish a simple relation between curvatures of the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms and the lifespan of potential solutions to the inviscid Burgers equation before the appearance of shocks. We show that shock formation corresponds to a focal point of the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms regarded as a submanifold of the full diffeomorphism group and, consequently, to a ...

In this work we generate the numerical solutions of Burgers’ equation by applying the Crank-Nicholson method and different schemes for solving nonlinear systems, instead of using Hopf-Cole transformation to reduce Burgers’ equation into the linear heat equation. The method is analyzed on two test problems in order to check its efficiency on different kinds of initial conditions. Numerical solut...

The reordering of the multidimensional exponential quadratic operator in coordinatemomentum space (see X. Wang, C.H. Oh and L.C. Kwek (1998). J. Phys. A.: Math. Gen. 31:4329–4336) is applied to derive an explicit formulation of the solution to the multidimensional heat equation with quadratic external potential and random initial conditions. The solution to the multidimensional Burgers equation...

We discuss the recent paper by Inan and Ugurlu [Inan I.E., Ugurlu Y., Exp-function method for the exact solutions of fifth order KdV equation and modified Burgers equation, Appl. Math. Comp. 217 (2010) 1294 – 1299]. We demonstrate that all exact solutions of fifth order KdV equation and modified Burgers equation by Inan and Ugurlu are trivial solutions that are reduced to constants. Moreover, w...
