Bifurcation Analysis and Single Traveling Wave Solutions of the Variable-Coefficient Davey–Stewartson System

This paper mainly studies the bifurcation and single traveling wave solutions of the variable-coefficient Davey–Stewartson system. By employing the traveling wave transformation, the variable-coefficient Davey–Stewartson system is reduced to two-dimensional nonlinear ordinary differential equations. On the one hand, we use the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems to draw the phase diagram of the variable-coefficient Davey–Stewartson system. On the other hand, we use the polynomial complete discriminant method to obtain the exact traveling wave solution of the variable-coefficient Davey–Stewartson system.

A New Criterion Beyond Divergence for Determining the Dissipation of a System: Dissipative Power

Divergence is usually used to determine the dissipation of a dynamical system, but some researchers have noticed that it can lead to elusive contradictions. In this article, a criterion, dissipative power, beyond divergence for judging the dissipation of a system is presented, which is based on the knowledge of classical mechanics and a novel dynamic structure by Ao. Moreover, the relationship between the dissipative power and potential function (or called Lyapunov function) is derived, which reveals a very interesting, important, and apparently new feature in dynamical systems: to classify dynamics into dissipative or conservative according to the change of “energy function” or “Hamiltonian,” not according to the change of phase space volume. We start with two simple examples corresponding to two types of attractors in planar dynamical systems: fixed points and limit cycles. In judging the dissipation by divergence, these two systems have both the elusive contradictions pointed by researchers and new ones noticed by us. Then, we analyze and compare these two criteria in these two examples, further consider the planar linear systems with the coefficient matrices being the four types of Jordan’s normal form, and find that the dissipative power works when divergence exhibits contradiction. Moreover, we also consider another nonlinear system to analyze and compare these two criteria. Finally, the obtained relationship between the dissipative power and the Lyapunov function provides a reasonable way to explain why some researchers think that the Lyapunov function does not coexist with the limit cycle. Those results may provide a deeper understanding of the dissipation of dynamical systems.

Singular Nonlinear Equation Class : Theoretical and Experimental Concept

This work generalizes and extends our work in refs [10,29,37], dealing a theoretical model of a monoatomic chain immersed in a potential of periodic and deformable substrate, the third and fourth non-linearities being taken into account. Looking at the analytical localized modes provides an extended interpretation of system dynamics based upon modes existence and yields an extended form of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation to describe the eikonal wave's complex amplitude. In this equation, the coeffcients depend on the wavenumber, whereas the parallel with the nonlinear transmission electrical line introduced in references results in [1,2] not fully resolved dynamic equations. So far, only specific solutions have been presented. Our dynamic study thus presents a theoretical prediction for their experimental set up. In contrast to previous works done for particular values of the wavenumber, namely on the behavior of gap (k = 0 and k = π) solutions of the model [10], or for k (k = ±2π=3) in the central bandpass area [37], we consider here rather behaviors of the system when the angular frequency is arbitrary. By using bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems and investigating the dynamical behavior, we derive a variety of solutions corresponding to the phase trajectories under different parameter conditions.

Some Smooth and Nonsmooth Traveling Wave Solutions for KP-MEW(2, 2) Equation

New groups of solutions to the Whitham-Broer-Kaup equation

The Whitham-Broer-Kaup model is widely used to study the tsunami waves. The classical Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations are re-investigated in detail by the generalized projective Riccati-equation method. 20 sets of solutions are obtained of which, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, some have not been reported in literature. Bifurcation analysis of the planar dynamical systems is then used to show different phase portraits of the traveling wave solutions under various parametric conditions.

Exploration of the algebraic traveling wave solutions of a higher order model

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to construct the algebraic traveling wave solutions of the (3 + 1)-dimensional modified KdV-Zakharov-Kuznetsve (KdV-Z-K) equation, which can be usually used to express shallow water wave phenomena. Design/methodology/approach The authors apply the planar dynamical systems and invariant algebraic cure approach to find the algebraic traveling wave solutions and rational solutions of the (3 + 1)-dimensional modified KdV-Z-K equation. Also, the planar dynamical systems and invariant algebraic cure approach is applied to considered equation for finding algebraic traveling wave solutions. Findings As a result, the authors can find that the integral constant is zero and non-zero, the algebraic traveling wave solutions have different evolutionary processes. These results help to better reveal the evolutionary mechanism of shallow water wave phenomena and find internal connections. Research limitations/implications The paper presents that the implemented methods as a powerful mathematical tool deal with (3 + 1)-dimensional modified KdV-Z-K equation by using the planar dynamical systems and invariant algebraic cure. Practical implications By considering important characteristics of algebraic traveling wave solutions, one can understand the evolutionary mechanism of shallow water wave phenomena and find internal connections. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the algebraic traveling wave solutions have not been reported in other places. Finally, the algebraic traveling wave solutions nonlinear dynamics behavior was shown.

Various Exact Soliton Solutions and Bifurcations of a Generalized Dullin–Gottwald–Holm Equation with a Power Law Nonlinearity

In this paper, we study a model of generalized Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation, depending on the power law nonlinearity, that derives a series of planar dynamical systems. The study of the traveling wave solutions for this model derives a planar Hamiltonian system. By investigating the dynamical behavior and bifurcation of solutions of the traveling wave system, we derive all possible exact explicit traveling wave solutions, under different parametric conditions. These results completely improve the study of traveling wave solutions to the mentioned model stated in [Biswas & Kara, 2010].

A Generalist Predator and the Planar Zero-Hopf Bifurcation

A typical approach for searching periodic orbits of planar dynamical systems is through the Hopf bifurcation. In this work we present a family of predator–prey models with a generalist predator which does not exhibit a Hopf bifurcation, but a planar zero-Hopf bifurcation; that means, in the whole bifurcation process the eigenvalues of the linear approximation around the equilibrium points remain as pure imaginary. Similar models with a nongeneralist predator always possess a Hopf bifurcation.

Bifurcations and Exact Traveling Wave Solutions of a Modified Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

In this paper, we consider two singular nonlinear planar dynamical systems created from the studies of one-dimensional bright and dark spatial solitons for one-dimensional beams in a nonlocal Kerr-like media. On the basis of the investigation of the dynamical behavior and bifurcations of solutions of the planar dynamical systems, we obtain all possible explicit exact parametric representations of solutions (including solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions, peakon and periodic peakons, compacton solutions, etc.) under different parameter conditions.
