The effect of the third-order corrections on ion-acoustic solitary waves is studied on the basis of the reductive perturbation method. The secular terms in the third-order approximation are eliminated by employing the renormalization scheme of Kodama and Taniuti in an unambiguous manner. It is found that the contribution of the third-order corrections to the soliton velocities and widths is rather minimal.

AbstractThe present study deals with the head-on collision process between capillary–gravity solitary waves in a finite channel. The present mathematical modeling is based on Nwogu’s Boussinesq model. This model is suitable for both shallow and deep water waves. We have considered the surface tension effects. To examine the asymptotic behavior, we employed the Poincaré–Lighthill–Kuo method. The resulting series solutions are given up to third-order approximation. The physical features are discussed for wave speed, head-on collision profile, maximum run-up, distortion profile, the velocity at the bottom, and phase shift profile, etc. A comparison is also given as a particular case in our study. According to the results, it is noticed that the free parameter and the surface tension tend to decline the solitary-wave profile significantly. However, the maximum run-up amplitude was affected in great measure due to the surface tension and the free parameter.

This work is one of a series of papers that is devoted to the further investigation of polynomial splines and trigonometric splines of the third order approximation. Polynomial basis splines are better known and therefore more commonly used. However, the use of trigonometric basis splines often provides a smaller approximation error. In some cases, the use of the trigonometric approximations is preferable to the polynomial approximations. Here we continue to compare these two types of approximation. The Lebesgue functions and constants are discussed for the polynomial splines and the trigonometric splines. The examples of the applications of the splines to image enlargement are given.

The article is devoted to the problem of propagation of weakly nonlinear wave-packets along contact surfaces in a three-layer hydrodynamic system "half space – layer – layer with rigid lid". The condition of solvability of the problem in the third-order approximation is obtained, the evolution equation is derived in the form of a nonlinear Schrodinger equation and the modulation stability condition for its solutions is obtained. The stability diagram and its analysis are presented for the solution which takes place in the case of the balance between dispersion and non-linearity.

Considering the electron velocity distribution far from Maxwellian, we have investigated the nonlinear propagation of ion acoustic waves in a plasma consisting of warm ions. The solitary wave solution has been obtained for this case retaining terms up to the third order in the usual reductive perturbation method.
