    AbstractThe modified simple equation (MSE) method is promising for finding exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) in mathematical physics. In this letter, we investigate solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Zoomeron equation and the (2+1)-dimensional Burgers equation by using the MSE method and the Exp-function method. The competence of the methods for constructing exact solutions has been established

    Meromorphic solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations

    Exact solutions of some popular nonlinear ordinary differential equations are analyzed taking their Laurent series into account. Using the Laurent series for solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations we discuss the nature of many methods for finding exact solutions. We show that most of these methods are conceptually identical to one another and they allow us to have only the same solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations

    Traveling wave fronts and the transition to saturation

    Full text link
    We propose a general method to study the solutions to nonlinear QCD evolution equations, based on a deep analogy with the physics of traveling waves. In particular, we show that the transition to the saturation regime of high energy QCD is identical to the formation of the front of a traveling wave. Within this physical picture, we provide the expressions for the saturation scale and the gluon density profile as a function of the total rapidity and the transverse momentum. The application to the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation for both fixed and running coupling constants confirms the effectiveness of this method.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, references adde

    Two classes of nonlocal Evolution Equations related by a shared Traveling Wave Problem

    Full text link
    We consider reaction-diffusion equations and Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (KdVB) equations, i.e. scalar conservation laws with diffusive-dispersive regularization. We review the existence of traveling wave solutions for these two classes of evolution equations. For classical equations the traveling wave problem (TWP) for a local KdVB equation can be identified with the TWP for a reaction-diffusion equation. In this article we study this relationship for these two classes of evolution equations with nonlocal diffusion/dispersion. This connection is especially useful, if the TW equation is not studied directly, but the existence of a TWS is proven using one of the evolution equations instead. Finally, we present three models from fluid dynamics and discuss the TWP via its link to associated reaction-diffusion equations

    Hamiltonian description and traveling waves of the spatial Dysthe equations

    The spatial version of the fourth-order Dysthe equations describe the evolution of weakly nonlinear narrowband wave trains in deep waters. For unidirectional waves, the hidden Hamiltonian structure and new invariants are unveiled by means of a gauge transformation to a new canonical form of the evolution equations. A highly accurate Fourier-type spectral scheme is developed to solve for the equations and validate the new conservation laws, which are satisfied up to machine precision. Further, traveling waves are numerically investigated using the Petviashvili method. It is found that their collision appears inelastic, suggesting the non-integrability of the Dysthe equations.Comment: Research report. 17 pages, 7 figures, 38 references.
