Solitary waves of the RLW equation via least squares method

Integration using least squares method in space and Crank–Nicolson approach in time is managed to set up an algorithm to solve the RLW equation numerically. Trial functions in the least square method consist of a combination of the quartic B-spline functions. Integration of the RLW equation gives a system of algebraic equations. The solutions consisting of a combination of the quartic B-splines are given for some initial and boundary value problems of RLW equation.

F-Expansion Method and Its Application for Finding Exact Analytical Solutions of Fractional order RLW Equation

Exact nonlinear partial differential equation solutions are critical for describing new complex characteristics in a variety of fields of applied science. The aim of this research is to use the F-expansion method to find the generalized solitary wave solution of the regularized long wave (RLW) equation of fractional order. Fractional partial differential equations can also be transformed into ordinary differential equations using fractional complex transformation and the properties of the modified Riemann–Liouville fractional-order operator. Because of the chain rule and the derivative of composite functions, nonlinear fractional differential equations (NLFDEs) can be converted to ordinary differential equations. We have investigated various set of explicit solutions with some free parameters using this approach. The solitary wave solutions are derived from the moving wave solutions when the parameters are set to special values. Our findings show that this approach is a very active and straightforward way of formulating exact solutions to nonlinear evolution equations that arise in mathematical physics and engineering. It is anticipated that this research will provide insight and knowledge into the implementation of novel methods for solving wave equations.

Lie Symmetry Analysis and Explicit Solutions for the Time-Fractional Regularized Long-Wave Equation

This paper systematically investigates the Lie group analysis method of the time-fractional regularized long-wave (RLW) equation with Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. The vector fields and similarity reductions of the time-fractional (RLW) equation are obtained. It is shown that the governing equation can be transformed into a fractional ordinary differential equation with a new independent variable, where the fractional derivatives are in Erdèlyi–Kober sense. Furthermore, the explicit analytic solutions of the time-fractional (RLW) equation are obtained using the power series expansion method. Finally, some graphical features were presented to give a visual interpretation of the solutions.
