AbstractWe study the numerical error in solitary wave solutions of nonlinear dispersive wave equations. A number of existing results for discretizations of solitary wave solutions of particular equations indicate that the error grows quadratically in time for numerical methods that do not conserve energy, but grows only linearly for conservative methods. We provide numerical experiments suggesting that this result extends to a very broad class of equations and numerical methods.

The qualitative theory of differential equations is applied to the osmosis K(2, 2) equation. The parametric conditions of existence of the smooth periodic travelling wave solutions are given. We show that the solution map is not uniformly continuous by using the theory of Himonas and Misiolek. The proof relies on a construction of smooth periodic travelling waves with small amplitude.

The existence of nonzero periodic travelling wave solutions for a general discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLS) on one-dimensional lattices is proved. The DNLS features a general nonlinear term and variable range of interactions going beyond the usual nearest-neighbour interaction. The problem of the existence of travelling wave solutions is converted into a fixed point problem for an operator on some appropriate function space which is solved by means of Schauder’s Fixed Point Theorem.

AbstractWe use a simple method that leads to the integrals involved in obtaining the travelling-wave solutions of wave equations with one and two exponential nonlinearities. When the constant term in the integrand is zero, implicit solutions in terms of hypergeometric functions are obtained, while when that term is nonzero, all the basic travelling-wave solutions of Liouville, Tzitzéica, and their variants, as as well sine/sinh-Gordon equations with important applications in the phenomenology of nonlinear physics and dynamical systems are found through a detailed study of the corresponding elliptic equations.

We present the mixed dn-sn method for finding periodic wave solutions of some nonlinear wave equations. Introducing an appropriate transformation, we extend this method to a special type of nonlinear equations and construct their solutions, which are not expressible as polynomials in the Jacobi elliptic functions. The obtained solutions include the well known kink-type and bell-type solutions as a limiting cases. Also, some new travelling wave solutions are found. - PACS: 02.30.Jr; 03.40.Kf
