Symbolic computation of exact solutions expressible in hyperbolic and elliptic functions for nonlinear PDEs
Algorithms are presented for the tanh- and sech-methods, which lead to
closed-form solutions of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations
(ODEs and PDEs). New algorithms are given to find exact polynomial solutions of
ODEs and PDEs in terms of Jacobi's elliptic functions.
For systems with parameters, the algorithms determine the conditions on the
parameters so that the differential equations admit polynomial solutions in
tanh, sech, combinations thereof, Jacobi's sn or cn functions. Examples
illustrate key steps of the algorithms.
The new algorithms are implemented in Mathematica. The package
DDESpecialSolutions.m can be used to automatically compute new special
solutions of nonlinear PDEs. Use of the package, implementation issues, scope,
limitations, and future extensions of the software are addressed.
A survey is given of related algorithms and symbolic software to compute
exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations.Comment: 39 pages. Software available from Willy Hereman's home page at

'BioNessie(G) - a grid enabled biochemical networks simulation environment
The simulation of biochemical networks provides insight and
understanding about the underlying biochemical processes and pathways
used by cells and organisms. BioNessie is a biochemical network simulator
which has been developed at the University of Glasgow. This paper
describes the simulator and focuses in particular on how it has been
extended to benefit from a wide variety of high performance compute resources
across the UK through Grid technologies to support larger scale
simulations
