Abstract We investigate the relation between pluri-Lagrangian hierarchies of 2-dimensional partial differential equations and their variational symmetries. The aim is to generalize to the case of partial differential equations the recent findings in Petrera and Suris (Nonlinear Math. Phys. 24(suppl. 1):121–145, 2017) for ordinary differential equations. We consider hierarchies of 2-dimensional Lagrangian PDEs (many of which have a natural $$(1\,{+}\,1)$$ ( 1 + 1 ) -dimensional space-time interpretation) and show that if the flow of each PDE is a variational symmetry of all others, then there exists a pluri-Lagrangian 2-form for the hierarchy. The corresponding multi-time Euler–Lagrange equations coincide with the original system supplied with commuting evolutionary flows induced by the variational symmetries.

We apply the method to seek exact solutions for several fractional partial differential equations including the space-time fractional (2 + 1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equations, the (2 + 1)-dimensional space-time fractional Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov system, and the time fractional fifth-order Sawada-Kotera equation. The fractional derivative is defined in the sense of modified Riemann-liouville derivative. Based on a certain variable transformation, these fractional partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations of integer order. With the aid of mathematical software, a variety of exact solutions for them are obtained.

We propose a new approach for solving fractional partial differential equations based on a nonlinear fractional complex transformation and the general Riccati equation and apply it to solve the nonlinear time fractional biological population model and the (4+1)-dimensional space-time fractional Fokas equation. As a result, some new exact solutions for them are obtained. This approach can be suitable for solving fractional partial differential equations with more general forms than the method proposed by S. Zhang and H.-Q. Zhang (2011).

This paper presents an investigation on the dynamical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and nonlinear modal interaction and energy exchange are analysed in detail. Resonance interactions between two conjugate circumferential flexural modes (CFMs) are investigated. The nanotubes are analysed through a continuous shell model, and a thin shell theory is used to model the dynamics of the system; free-free boundary conditions are considered. The Rayleigh–Ritz method is applied to approximate linear eigenfunctions of the partial differential equations that govern the shell dynamics. An energy approach, based on Lagrange equations and series expansion of the displacements, is considered to reduce the initial partial differential equations to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of motion. The model is validated in linear field (natural frequencies) by means of comparisons with literature. A convergence analysis is carried out in order to obtain the smallest modal expansion able to simulate the nonlinear regimes. The time evolution of the nonlinear energy distribution over the SWCNT surface is studied. The nonlinear dynamics of the system is analysed by means of phase portraits. The resonance interaction and energy transfer between the conjugate CFMs are investigated. A travelling wave moving along the circumferential direction of the SWCNT is observed.

In the design of controllers for heat transfer systems, one must often describe the plant dynamics by partial differential equations. The problem of optimizing a controller for a system described by partial differential equations is considered here using exact and approximate methods. Results equivalent to the Euler-Lagrange equations are derived for the minimization of an index of performance with integral equation constraints. These integral equation constraints represent the solution of the partial differential equations and the associated boundary conditions. The optimization of the control system using a product expansion as an approximation to the transcendental transfer function of the system is also considered. The results using the two methods are in good agreement. Two examples are given illustrating the application of both the exact and approximate methods. The approximate method requires less computation.

This paper presents a new transform method to solve partial differential equations, for finding suitable accurate solutions in a wider domain. It can be used to solve the problems without resorting to the frequency domain. The new transform is combined with the homotopy perturbation method in order to solve three dimensional second order partial differential equations with initial condition, and the convergence of the solution to the exact form is proved. The implementation of the suggested method demonstrates the usefulness in finding exact solutions. The practical implications show the effectiveness of approach and it is easily implemented in finding exact solutions.        Finally, all algorithms in this paper are implemented in MATLAB version 7.12.

Abstract The dynamic of amoebas in favorable circumstances is modeled by a nonlinear system of Partial Differential Equations arising in chemotaxis. The competition between different parameters of this system plays a major role in the process of aggregation. Throughout this paper, we prove the existence of self-similar solutions that blow up in finite time in a dimensional space and under specific circumstances depending upon the position of those parameters.
