General Method

A general method is presented for the exact treatment of analytical problems that have solutions representing solitary waves. The theoretical framework of the method is developed in abstract first, providing a range of fixed-point theorems and other useful resources. It is largely based on topological concepts, in particular the fixed-point index for compact mappings, and uses a version of positive-operator theory referred to Frechet spaces. Then three exemplary problems are treated in which steadily propagating waves of permanent form are known to be represented. The first covers a class of one-dimensional model equations that generalizes the classic Korteweg—de Vries equation. The second concerns two-dimensional wave motions in an incompressible but density-stratified heavy fluid. The third problem describes solitary waves on water in a uniform canal.

Using one-dimensional Beji & Nadaoka extended Boussinesq equation, a numerical study of solitary waves over submerged breakwaters has been conducted. Two different obstacles of rectangular as well as circular geometries over the seabed inside a channel have been considered in view of solitary waves passing by. Since these bars possess sharp vertical edges, they cannot directly be modeled by Boussinesq equations. Thus, sharply sloped lines over a short span have replaced the vertical sides, and the interactions of waves including reflection, transmission, and dispersion over the seabed with circular and rectangular shapes during the propagation have been investigated. In this numerical simulation, finite element scheme has been used for spatial discretization. Linear elements along with linear interpolation functions have been utilized for velocity components and the water surface elevation. For time integration, a fourth-order Adams-Bashforth-Moulton predictor-corrector method has been applied. Results indicate that neglecting the vertical edges and ignoring the vortex shedding would have minimal effect on the propagating waves and reflected waves with weak nonlinearity.

We obtain newA-properness results for demicontinuous, dissipative type mappings defined only on closed convex subsets of a Banach spaceXwith uniformly convex dual and which satisfy a property called weakly inward. The method relies on a new property of the duality mapping in such spaces. New fixed point results are obtained by utilising a theory of fixed point index.

Equivariant Maps

Properties of fixed points of equivariant maps have been studied by several authors including A. Dold (cf. [2], 1982), H. Ulrich (cf. [9], 1988), A. Marzantowicz (cf. [7], 1975) and others. Closely related is the work of R. Rubinsztein (cf. [8], 1976) in which he investigated homotopy classes of equivariant maps between spheres. There have been many attempts to introduce and effectively apply these concepts to nonlinear problems. In particular we mention the work of E. Dancer (cf. [1], 1982) in which some applications to nonlinear problems are given.

Mixed Monotone Property

The aim of this paper is to extend the results of Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham and some other authors and to prove some new coupled fixed point theorems for mappings having a mixed monotone property in a complete metric space endowed with a partial order. Our theorems can be used to investigate a large class of nonlinear problems. As an application, we discuss the existence and uniqueness for a solution of a nonlinear integral equation.
