AbstractIn this paper, we propose an extension of the Ricci-inverse gravity, which has been proposed recently as a very novel type of fourth-order gravity, by introducing a second order term of the so-called anticurvature scalar as a correction. The main purpose of this paper is that we would like to see whether the extended Ricci-inverse gravity model admits the homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker metric as its stable inflationary solution. However, a no-go theorem for inflation in this extended Ricci-inverse gravity is shown to appear through a stability analysis based on the dynamical system method. As a result, this no-go theorem implies that it is impossible to have such stable inflation in this extended Ricci-inverse gravity model.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the so-called Ricci-inverse gravity, which is a very novel type of fourth-order gravity proposed recently. In particular, we are able to figure out both isotropically and anisotropically inflating universes to this model. More interestingly, these solutions are shown to be free from a singularity problem. However, stability analysis based on the dynamical system method shows that both isotropic and anisotropic inflation of this model turn out to be unstable against field perturbations. This result implies a no-go theorem for both isotropic and anisotropic inflation in the Ricci-inverse gravity.

AbstractIn this paper, we extend our investigation of the validity of the cosmic no-hair conjecture within non-canonical anisotropic inflation. As a result, we are able to figure out an exact Bianchi type I solution to a power-law k-inflation model in the presence of unusual coupling between scalar and electromagnetic fields as $$-f^2(\phi )F_{\mu \nu }F^{\mu \nu }/4$$ - f 2 ( ϕ ) F μ ν F μ ν / 4 . Furthermore, stability analysis based on the dynamical system method indicates that the obtained solution does admit stable and attractive hairs during an inflationary phase and therefore violates the cosmic no-hair conjecture. Finally, we show that the corresponding tensor-to-scalar ratio of this model turns out to be highly consistent with the observational data of the Planck 2018.

Higher‐order terms in the generalized seismic reflection moveout equation are usually neglected, resulting in the familiar second‐order, or hyperbolic, moveout equation. Modeling studies show that the higher‐order terms are often significant, and their neglect produces sizable traveltime residuals after correction for moveout in such cases as kinked‐ray models. Taner and Koehler (1969) introduced velocity spectra for estimating stacking velocity defined on the basis of second‐order moveout. Through the use of orthogonal polynomials, an iterative procedure is defined that permits computation of fourth‐order moveout spectra while simultaneously upgrading the previously computed, second‐order spectra. Emphasis is placed on the fourth‐order term, but the procedure is general and can be expanded to higher orders. When used with synthetic and field recorded common‐midpoint (CMP) trace data, this technique produces significant improvements in moveout determination affecting three areas: (1) resolution and interpretability of moveout spectra, (2) quality of CMP stacked sections, and (3) computation of velocity and depth for inverse modeling.

Abstract It is well known that methods for solving fractional-order PDEs are grossly inadequate compared with integer-order PDEs. In this paper, a new approach which combined with the separation method of semi-fixed variables and dynamical system method is introduced. As example, a time-fractional reaction-diffusion equation with higher-order terms is studied under the different kinds of fractional-order differential operators. In different parametric regions, phase portraits of systems which derived from the reaction-diffusion equation are presented. Existence and dynamic properties of solutions of this nonlinear time-fractional models are investigated. In some special parametric conditions, some exact solutions of this time-fractional models are obtained. The dynamical properties of some exact solutions are discussed and the graphs of them are illustrated.PACS: 02.30.Jr; 02.30.Oz; 02.70.-c; 02.70.Mv; 02.90.+p; 04.20.Jb; 05.10.-a

AbstractInspired by an interesting counterexample to the cosmic no-hair conjecture found in a supergravity-motivated model recently, we propose a multi-field extension, in which two scalar fields are allowed to non-minimally couple to two vector fields, respectively. This model is shown to admit an exact Bianchi type I power-law solution. Furthermore, stability analysis based on the dynamical system method is performed to show that this anisotropic solution is indeed stable and attractive if both scalar fields are canonical. Nevertheless, if one of the two scalar fields is phantom then the corresponding anisotropic power-law inflation turns unstable as expected.

We transpose the ordinary differential equation method (used for decreasing stepsize stochastic algorithms) to a dynamical system method to study dynamical systems disturbed by a noise decreasing to zero. We prove that such an algorithm does not fall into a regular trap if the noise is exciting in an unstable direction.

In this paper, based on the dynamical system method, we obtain the exact parametric expressions of the travelling wave solutions of the Wu–Zhang system. Our approach is much different from the existing literature studies on the Wu–Zhang system. Moreover, we also study the fractional derivative of the Wu–Zhang system. Finally, by comparison between the integer-order Wu–Zhang system and the fractional-order Wu–Zhang system, we see that the phase portrait, nonzero equilibrium points, and the corresponding exact travelling wave solutions all depend on the derivative order α. Phase portraits and simulations are given to show the validity of the obtained solutions.
