In this paper, the existence of solitary waves and periodic waves to a perturbed generalized KdV equation is established by applying the geometric singular perturbation theory and the regular perturbation analysis for a Hamiltonian system. Moreover, upper and lower bounds of the limit wave speed are obtained. Some previous results are extended.

In the present investigation, we have studied ion-acoustic solitary waves in a plasma consisting of warm positive and negative ions and nonisothermal electron distribution. We have used reductive perturbation theory (RPT) and derived a dispersion relation which supports only two ion-acoustic modes, viz. slow and fast. The expression for phase velocities of these modes is observed to be a function of parameters like nonisothermality, charge and mass ratio, and relative temperature of ions. A modified Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with a (1+1/2) nonlinearity, also known as Schamel-mKdV model, is derived. RPT is further extended to include the contribution of higher-order terms. The results of numerical computation for such contributions are shown in the form of graphs in different parameter regimes for both, slow and fast ion-acoustic solitary waves having several interesting features. For the departure from the isothermally distributed electrons, a generalized KdV equation is derived and solved. It is observed that both rarefactive and compressive solitons exist for the isothermal case. However, nonisothermality supports only the compressive type of solitons in the given parameter regime.

Localized Waves

We consider a class of fully nonlinear Fermi–Pasta–Ulam (FPU) lattices, consisting of a chain of particles coupled by fractional power nonlinearities of order α >1. This class of systems incorporates a classical Hertzian model describing acoustic wave propagation in chains of touching beads in the absence of precompression. We analyse the propagation of localized waves when α is close to unity. Solutions varying slowly in space and time are searched with an appropriate scaling, and two asymptotic models of the chain of particles are derived consistently. The first one is a logarithmic Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation and possesses linearly orbitally stable Gaussian solitary wave solutions. The second model consists of a generalized KdV equation with Hölder-continuous fractional power nonlinearity and admits compacton solutions, i.e. solitary waves with compact support. When , we numerically establish the asymptotically Gaussian shape of exact FPU solitary waves with near-sonic speed and analytically check the pointwise convergence of compactons towards the limiting Gaussian profile.

Layer Flow

The evolution of weakly-nonlinear two-layer flow over topography is considered. The governing equations are formulated to consider the effects of quadratic and cubic nonlinearity in the transcritical regime of the internal mode. In the absence of cubic nonlinearity an inhomogeneous Korteweg-de Vries equation describes the interfacial displacement. Numerical solutions of this equation exhibit undular bores or sequences of Boussinesq solitary waves upstream in a transcritical regime. For sufficiently large supercritical Froude numbers, a locally steady flow is attained over the topography. In that regime in which both quadratic and cubic nonlinearity are comparable, the evolution of the interface is described by an inhomogeneous extended Kortewegde Vries (EKdV) equation. This equation displays undular bores upstream in a subcritical regime, but monotonic bores in a transcritical regime. The monotonic bores are solitary wave solutions of the corresponding homogeneous EKdV equation. Again, locally steady flow is attained for sufficiently large supercritical Froude numbers. The predictions of the numerical solutions are compared with laboratory experiments which show good agreement with the solutions of the forced EKdV equation for some range of parameters. It is shown that a recent result of Miles (1986), which predicts an unsteady transcritical regime for single-layer flows, may readily be extended to two-layer flows (described by the forced KdV equation) and is in agreement with the results presented here.Numerical experiments exploiting the symmetry of the homogeneous EKdV equation show that solitary waves of fixed amplitude but arbitrary length may be generated in systems described by the inhomogeneous EKdV equation.
