This paper studies the problem of optimal control of the viscous KdV-Burgers’ equation. We develop a technique to utilize the Cole-Hopf transformation to solve an optimal control problem for the viscous KdV-Burgers’ equation. While the viscous KdV-Burgers’ equation is transformed into a simpler linear equation, the performance index is transformed to a complicated rational expression. We show t...

In this work we generate the numerical solutions of the Burgers’ equation by applying the Crank-Nicolson method directly to the Burgers’ equation, i.e., we do not use Hopf-Cole transformation to reduce Burgers’ equation into the linear heat equation. Absolute error of the present method is compared to the absolute error of the two existing methods for two test problems. The method is also analy...

We link the appearance of universal kernels in random matrix ensembles to the phenomenon of shock formation in some fluid dynamical equations. Such equations are derived from Dyson's random walks after a proper rescaling of the time. In the case of the gaussian unitary ensemble, on which we focus in this paper, we show that the characteristics polynomials and their inverse evolve according to a...

The recent systematic study by Janocha et al. [1] to determine all possible Lie-point symmetries for the functional Hopf–Burgers equation is re-examined. From a more consistent theoretical framework, however, some of the proposed symmetry transformations of the considered Hopf–Burgers equation are in fact rejected. Three out of eight proposed symmetry transformations are invalidated, while two ...

We consider the hyperbolic generalization of Burgers equation τ u tt − κu xx + A uu x + B u t + H u x = f (u). For some special combination of parameters we succeed to find the subset of exact solutions to this equation, where the auto-Bäcklund transformation u(x, t) = M (x, t)Exp(h(x, t)) + Q(x, t) Exp(h(x, t)) + 1 to classical Burgers equation is still valid. As an example the bi-soliton solu...

A non-isotropic version of phase equations such as the Burgers equation, the K-dV-Burgers equation, the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation and the Benney equation in the three-dimensional space is systematically derived from a general reaction-diffusion system by means of the renormalization group method.

We construct new integrable coupled systems of N = 1 supersymmetric equations and present integrable fermionic extensions of the Burgers and Boussinesq equations. Existence of infinitely many higher symmetries is demonstrated by the presence of recursion operators. Various algebraic methods are applied to the analysis of symmetries, conservation laws, recursion operators, and Hamiltonian struct...

We consider the ultra-discrete Burgers equation. All variables of the equation are discrete. We classify the equation into five regions in the parameter space. We discuss behavior of solutions. Using this equation we construct the deterministic surface growth models respectively. Furthermore we introduce noise into the ultra-discrete Burgers equation. We present the automata models of the KPZ e...

This paper examines the properties of a regularization of Burgers equation in one and multiple dimensions using a filtered convective velocity, which we have dubbed as convectively filtered Burgers (CFB) equation. A physical motivation behind the filtering technique is presented. An existence and uniqueness theorem for multiple dimensions and a general class of filters is proven. Multiple invar...

The unsmooth boundary will greatly affect motion morphology of a shallow water wave, and a fractal space is introduced to establish a generalized KdV-Burgers equation with fractal derivatives. The semi-inverse method is used to establish a fractal variational formulation of the problem, which provides conservation laws in an energy form in the fractal space and possible solution structures of t...
