In this paper, a 3 × 3 matrix spectral problem with six potentials is considered. With the help of the compatibility condition, a hierarchy of new nonlinear evolution equations which can be reduced to the coupled derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (CDNLS) equations is obtained. By use of the trace identity, it is proved that all the members in this new hierarchy have generalized bi-Hamiltonian structures. Moreover, infinitely many conservation laws of this hierarchy are constructed.

In this article, we investigate two types of double dispersion equations in two different dimensions, which arise in several physical applications. Double dispersion equations are derived to describe long nonlinear wave evolution in a thin hyperelastic rod. Firstly, we obtain conservation laws for both these equations. To do this, we employ the multiplier method, which is an efficient method to derive conservation laws as it does not require the PDEs to admit a variational principle. Secondly, we obtain travelling waves and line travelling waves for these two equations. In this process, the conservation laws are used to obtain a triple reduction. Finally, a line soliton solution is found for the double dispersion equation in two dimensions.

The derivation of conservation laws for the magma equation using the multiplier method for both the power law and exponential law relating the permeability and matrix viscosity to the voidage is considered. It is found that all known conserved vectors for the magma equation and the new conserved vectors for the exponential laws can be derived using multipliers which depend on the voidage and spatial derivatives of the voidage. It is also found that the conserved vectors are associated with the Lie point symmetry of the magma equation which generates travelling wave solutions which may explain by the double reduction theorem for associated Lie point symmetries why many of the known analytical solutions are travelling waves.

The nonlinear stability of viscous, immiscible multilayer flows in plane channels driven both by a pressure gradient and gravity is studied. Three fluid phases are present with two interfaces. Weakly nonlinear models of coupled evolution equations for the interfacial positions are derived and studied for inertialess, stably stratified flows in channels at small inclination angles. Interfacial tension is demoted and high-wavenumber stabilisation enters due to density stratification through second-order dissipation terms rather than the fourth-order ones found for strong interfacial tension. An asymptotic analysis is carried out to demonstrate how these models arise. The governing equations are $2\times 2$ systems of second-order semi-linear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) that can exhibit inertialess instabilities due to interaction between the interfaces. Mathematically this takes place due to a transition of the nonlinear flux function from hyperbolic to elliptic behaviour. The concept of hyperbolic invariant regions, found in nonlinear parabolic systems, is used to analyse this inertialess mechanism and to derive a transition criterion to predict the large-time nonlinear state of the system. The criterion is shown to predict nonlinear stability or instability of flows that are stable initially, i.e. the initial nonlinear fluxes are hyperbolic. Stability requires the hyperbolicity to persist at large times, whereas instability sets in when ellipticity is encountered as the system evolves. In the former case the solution decays asymptotically to its uniform base state, while in the latter case nonlinear travelling waves can emerge that could not be predicted by a linear stability analysis. The nonlinear analysis predicts threshold initial disturbances above which instability emerges.

Scaling symmetries arise in different branches of physics, and symmetry-based approaches are powerful tools for studying scaling-invariant models since they can provide conservation laws that are not obvious by inspection. In this framework, the class of variable-coefficients nonlinear dispersive equations vc$K(m,n)$, which contains several important evolution equations modeling nonlinear phenomena, is considered. For some of its scaling-invariant subclasses, we study its nonlinear self-adjointness and construct eight new local conservation laws associated with scaling symmetries by using a general theorem on conservation laws and the multipliers method. The property of scale invariance of those equations led to five conservation laws with a direct physical interpretation: energy, center of mass, and mass are the conserved quantities obtained in some cases.
