Under investigation in this work is a generalized higher-order beam equation, which is an important physical model and describes the vibrations of a rod. By considering Lie symmetry analysis, and using the power series method, we derive the geometric vector fields, symmetry reductions, group invariant solutions and power series solutions of the equation, respectively. The convergence analysis of the power series solutions are also provided with detailed proof. Furthermore, by virtue of the multipliers, the local conservation laws of the equation are derived as well. Furthermore, an effective and direct approach is proposed to study the symmetry-preserving discretization for the equation via its potential system. Finally, the invariant difference models of the generalized beam equation are successfully constructed. Our results show that it is very useful to construct the difference models of the potential system instead of the original equation.


The algorithm proposed by Schwartz & Whitney ( J. Fluid Mech . 107, 147–171 (1981)) for the numerical calculation of formal power series solutions of the classical standing-wave problem is vindicated by a rigorous proof that resonances do not occur in the calculations. A detailed account of a successful algorithm is given. The analytical question of the convergence of the power series whose coefficients have been calculated remains open. An affirmative answer would be a first demonstration of the existence of standing waves on deep water.

In this paper, we consider the (3[Formula: see text]+[Formula: see text]1)-dimensional modified Korteweg–de Vries–Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (mKdV-KP) equation, which can be used to describe the nonlinear waves in plasma physics and fluid dynamics. By using solitary wave ansatz in the form of sech[Formula: see text] function and a direct integrating way, we construct the exact bright soliton solutions and the travelling wave solutions of the equation, respectively. Moreover, we obtain its power series solutions with the convergence analysis. It is hoped that our results can provide the richer dynamical behavior of the KdV-type and KP-type equations.
