In this paper, based on the known first integral method, we try to seek the traveling wave solutions of several nonlinear evolution equations. As a result, some exact travelig wave solutions and solitary solutions for Whitham-Broer-Kaup (WBK) equations, Gardner equation, Boussinesq-Burgers equations, nonlinear schrodinger equation and mKDV equation are established successfully.

We prove the existence of periodic solutions in a class of nonlinear partial differential equations, including the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the nonlinear wave equation, and the nonlinear beam equation, in higher dimension. Our result covers cases where the bifurcation equation is infinitedimensional, such as the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with zero mass, for which solutions which at ...

We study the propagation of wave packets for nonlinear nonlocal Schrödinger equations in the semi-classical limit. When the kernel is smooth, we construct approximate solutions for the wave functions in subcritical, critical and supercritical cases (in terms of the size of the initial data). The validity of the approximation is proved up to Ehrenfest time. For homogeneous kernels, we establish ...

In this paper, a new fractional sub-equation method is proposed for finding exact solutions of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) in the sense of modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. With the aid of symbolic computation, we choose the space-time fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (ZKBBM) equation in mathematical physics with a source to illustrate the validity a...

We study linear and nonlinear wave scattering by an optical vortex in a self-defocusing nonlinear Kerr medium. In the linear case, we find a splitting of a plane-wave front at the vortex proportional to its circulation, similar to what occurs in the scattered wave of electrons for the Aharonov-Bohm effect. For larger wave amplitudes, we study analytically and numerically the scattering of a dar...

The interaction of a strongly nonlinear solitary wave with an external force is studied using the extended Korteweg-de Vries equation as a model. This equation has several different families of nonlinear wave solutions: solitons, the so-called ”thick” solitons, algebraic solitons, and breathers, depending upon the sign of the cubic nonlinear term. A simple nonlinear dynamical system of the seco...

Some classical types of nonlinear periodic wave motion are studied in special coordinates. In the case of cylinder coordinates, the usual perturbation techniques leads to the overdetermined systems of linear algebraic equations for unknown coefficients whose compatibility is key step of the investigation. Their solutions give solutions to the nonlinear wave equation which are periodic in time a...

Parametric excitation of autoresonant solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation by a chirped frequency traveling wave is discussed. Fully nonlinear theory of the process is developed based on Whitham's averaged variational principle and its predictions verified in numerical simulations. The weakly nonlinear limit of the theory is used to find the threshold on the amplitude of the dr...

In this paper, we consider variform exact peakon solutions for four nonlinear wave equations. We show that under different parameter conditions, one nonlinear wave equation can have different exact one-peakon solutions and different nonlinear wave equations can have different explicit exact one-peakon solutions. Namely, there are various explicit exact one-peakon solutions, which are different ...
