On the absence of logarithmic singularities in the solutions of Lamé-type equations

The object of this research is linear differential equations of the second order with regular singularities. We extend the concept of a regular singularity to linear partial differential equations. The general solution of a linear differential equation with a regular singularity is a linear combination of two linearly independent solutions, one of which in the general case contains a logarithmic singularity. The well-known Lamé equation, where the Weierstrass elliptic function is one of the coefficients, has only meromorphic solutions. We consider such linear differential equations of the second order with regular singularities, for which as a coefficient instead of the Weierstrass elliptic function we use functions that are the solutions to the first Painlevé or Korteweg – de Vries equations. These equations will be called Lamé-type equations. The question arises under what conditions the general solution of Lamé-type equations contains no logarithms. For this purpose, in the present paper, the solutions of Lamé-type equations are investigated and the conditions are found that make it possible to judge the presence or absence of logarithmic singularities in the solutions of the equations under study. An example of an equation with an irregular singularity having a solution with an logarithmic singularity is given, since the equation, defining it, has a multiple root.

Symmetry Methods and Conservation Laws for the Nonlinear Generalized 2D Equal-Width Partial Differential Equation of Engineering

In this work, we study the generalized 2D equal-width equation which arises in various fields of science. With the aid of numerous methods which includes Lie symmetry analysis, power series expansion and Weierstrass method, we produce closed-form solutions of this model. The exact solutions obtained are the snoidal wave, cnoidal wave, Weierstrass elliptic function, Jacobi elliptic cosine function, solitary wave and exponential function solutions. Moreover, we give a graphical representation of the obtained solutions using certain parametric values. Furthermore, the conserved vectors of the underlying equation are constructed by utilizing two approaches: the multiplier method and Noether’s theorem. The multiplier method provided us with four local conservation laws, whereas Noether’s theorem yielded five nonlocal conservation laws. The conservation laws that are constructed contain the conservation of energy and momentum.

Approximation of Elliptic Functions by Means of Trigonometric Functions with Applications

In this work, we give approximate expressions for Jacobian and elliptic Weierstrass functions and their inverses by means of the elementary trigonometric functions, sine and cosine. Results are reasonably accurate. We show the way the obtained results may be applied to solve nonlinear ODEs and other problems arising in nonlinear physics. The importance of the results in this work consists on giving easy and accurate way to evaluate the main elliptic functions cn, sn, and dn, as well as the Weierstrass elliptic function and their inverses. A general principle for solving some nonlinear problems through elementary functions is stated. No similar approach has been found in the existing literature.

Stability analysis and novel solutions to the generalized Degasperis Procesi equation: An application to plasma physics

In this work two kinds of smooth (compactons or cnoidal waves and solitons) and nonsmooth (peakons) solutions to the general Degasperis-Procesi (gDP) equation and its family (Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation, modified DP equation, Camassa-Holm (CH) equation, modified CH equation, Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation, etc.) are reported in detail using different techniques. The single and periodic peakons are investigated by studying the stability analysis of the gDP equation. The novel compacton solutions to the equations under consideration are derived in the form of Weierstrass elliptic function. Also, the periodicity of these solutions is obtained. The cnoidal wave solutions are obtained in the form of Jacobi elliptic functions. Moreover, both soliton and trigonometric solutions are covered as a special case for the cnoidal wave solutions. Finally, a new form for the peakon solution is derived in details. As an application to this study, the fluid basic equations of a collisionless unmagnetized non-Maxwellian plasma is reduced to the equation under consideration for studying several nonlinear structures in the plasma model.

Stability and Extraction of New Optical Wave Solutions of Cascaded System in (2 + 1)-dimensions

This paper uses the new modified sub-ODE method, the new extended auxiliary equation method, and the new Jacobi elliptic function expansion method to revisit the (2+1)-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation with cascading effect. As a consequence, dark, bright, kinkantikink, singular solitons, Weierstrass elliptic function, doubly periodic, and complex optical soliton solutions are retrieved. All solutions are described, along with the existence criterion on the parameters. As solitons are used for data transfer, the obtained results may be found usage in optical couplers, birefringed fibres, and optoelectronic devices. A comparison of the obtained results with those found in the literature is given. The dynamical behaviour of some of the obtained solutions has been explored for suitable choices of the parameters. Using the property of Hamiltonian systems, the solitons stability is determined.

New Solutions for the Generalized BBM Equation in terms of Jacobi and Weierstrass Elliptic Functions

The Jacobi elliptic function method is applied to solve the generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation (BBM). Periodic and soliton solutions are formally derived in a general form. Some particular cases are considered. A power series method is also applied in some particular cases. Some solutions are expressed in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function.

On the Analytical Solutions of the Forced Damping Duffing Equation in the Form of Weierstrass Elliptic Function and its Applications

In this study, a novel analytical solution to the integrable undamping Duffing equation with constant forced term is obtained. Also, a new approximate analytical (semianalytical) solution for the nonintegrable linear damping Duffing oscillator with constant forced term is reported. The analytical solution is given in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function with arbitrary initial conditions. With respect to it, the semianalytical solution is constructed depending on a new ansatz and the exact solution of the standard Duffing equation (in the absence of both damping and forced terms). A comparison between the obtained solutions and the Runge–Kutta fourth-order (RK4) is carried out. Moreover, some complicated oscillator equations such as the constant forced damping pendulum equation, forced damping cubic-quintic Duffing equation, and constant forced damping Helmholtz–Duffing equation are reduced to the forced damping Duffing oscillator, in which its solution is known. As a practical application, the proposed techniques are applied to investigate the characteristics behavior of the signal oscillations arising in the RLC circuit with externally applied voltage.

An Exact Solution to the Quadratic Damping Strong Nonlinearity Duffing Oscillator

The nonlinear equations of motion such as the Duffing oscillator equation and its family are seldom addressed in intermediate instruction in classical dynamics; this one is problematic because it cannot be solved in terms of elementary functions before. Thus, in this work, the stability analysis of quadratic damping higher-order nonlinearity Duffing oscillator is investigated. Hereinafter, some new analytical solutions to the undamped higher-order nonlinearity Duffing oscillator in the form of Weierstrass elliptic function are obtained. Posteriorly, a novel exact analytical solution to the quadratic damping higher-order nonlinearity Duffing equation under a certain condition (not arbitrary initial conditions) and in the form of Weierstrass elliptic function is derived in detail for the first time. Furthermore, the obtained solutions are camped to the Runge–Kutta fourth-order (RK4) numerical solution.

A New Approach for Solving the Undamped Helmholtz Oscillator for the Given Arbitrary Initial Conditions and Its Physical Applications

In this paper, a new analytical solution to the undamped Helmholtz oscillator equation in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function is reported. The solution is given for any arbitrary initial conditions. A comparison between our new solution and the numerical approximate solution using the Range Kutta approach is performed. We think that the methodology employed here may be useful in the study of several nonlinear problems described by a differential equation of the form z ″ = F z in the sense that z = z t . In this context, our solutions are applied to some physical applications such as the signal that can propagate in the LC series circuits. Also, these solutions were used to describe and investigate some oscillations in plasma physics such as oscillations in electronegative plasma with Maxwellian electrons and negative ions.
