    Generalized solitary and periodic wave solutions to a (2 + 1)-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

    In this paper, the Exp-function method is employed to the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation as a (2 + 1)-dimensional model for nonlinear Rossby waves. The observation of solitary wave solutions and periodic wave solutions constructed from the exponential function solutions reveal that our approach is very effective and convenient. The obtained results may be useful for better understanding the properties of two-dimensional coherent structures such as atmospheric blocking events. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved

    Applications of Solvable Lie Algebras to a Class of Third Order Equations

    A family of third-order partial differential equations (PDEs) is analyzed. This family broadens out well-known PDEs such as the Korteweg-de Vries equation, the Gardner equation, and the Burgers equation, which model many real-world phenomena. Furthermore, several macroscopic models for semiconductors considering quantum effects—for example, models for the transmission of electrical lines and quantum hydrodynamic models—are governed by third-order PDEs of this family. For this family, all point symmetries have been derived. These symmetries are used to determine group-invariant solutions from three-dimensional solvable subgroups of the complete symmetry group, which allow us to reduce the given PDE to a first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE). Finally, exact solutions are obtained by solving the first-order nonlinear ODEs or by taking into account the Type-II hidden symmetries that appear in the reduced second-order ODEs

    Mathematical models have been frequently studied in recent decades, in order to obtain the deeper properties of real-world problems. In particular, if these problems, such as finance, soliton theory and health problems, as well as problems arising in applied science and so on, affect humans from all over the world, studying such problems is inevitable. In this sense, the first step in understanding such problems is the mathematical forms. This comes from modeling events observed in various fields of science, such as physics, chemistry, mechanics, electricity, biology, economy, mathematical applications, and control theory. Moreover, research done involving fractional ordinary or partial differential equations and other relevant topics relating to integer order have attracted the attention of experts from all over the world. Various methods have been presented and developed to solve such models numerically and analytically. Extracted results are generally in the form of numerical solutions, analytical solutions, approximate solutions and periodic properties. With the help of newly developed computational systems, experts have investigated and modeled such problems. Moreover, their graphical simulations have also been presented in the literature. Their graphical simulations, such as 2D, 3D and contour figures, have also been investigated to obtain more and deeper properties of the real world problem

     This thesis presents a number of applications of symbolic computing to the study of differential equations. In particular, three packages have been produced for the computer algebra system MAPLE and used to find a variety of symmetries (and corresponding invariant solutions) for a range of differential systems
