Traveling waves and weak solutions for an equation with degenerate dispersion
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the following family of equations: ut = 2uuxxx − uxuxx + 2kuux. Here k 6= 0 is a constant and x ∈ [−L0, L0]. We demonstrate that for these equations: (a) there are compactly supported traveling wave solutions (which are in H) and (b) the Cauchy problem (with H initial data) possesses a weak solution which exists locally in time. These are the the first degenerate dispersive evolution PDE where (a) and (b) are known to hold simultaneously. Moreover, if k < 0 or L0 is not too large, the solution exists globally in time.

Instability and Stability Properties of Traveling Waves for the Double Dispersion Equation
In this article we are concerned with the instability and stability properties of traveling wave solutions of the double dispersion equation utt − uxx + auxxxx − buxxtt = −(|u|u)xx for p > 1, a ≥ b > 0. The main characteristic of this equation is the existence of two sources of dispersion, characterized by the terms uxxxx and uxxtt. We obtain an explicit condition in terms of a, b and p on wave...
متن کاملTraveling Waves of Some Symmetric Planar Flows of Non-Newtonian Fluids
We present some variants of Burgers-type equations for incompressible and isothermal planar flow of viscous non-Newtonian fluids based on the Cross, the Carreau and the power-law rheology models, and on a symmetry assumption on the flow. We numerically solve the associated traveling wave equations by using industrial data and in order to validate the models we prove existence and uniqueness of ...
متن کاملSome traveling wave solutions of soliton family
Solitons are ubiquitous and exist in almost every area from sky to bottom. For solitons to appear, the relevant equation of motion must be nonlinear. In the present study, we deal with the Korteweg-deVries (KdV), Modied Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) and Regularised LongWave (RLW) equations using Homotopy Perturbation method (HPM). The algorithm makes use of the HPM to determine the initial expansion...
متن کاملExistence and Stability of Traveling Waves for a Class of Nonlocal Nonlinear Equations
In this article we are concerned with the existence and orbital stability of traveling wave solutions of a general class of nonlocal wave equations: utt − Luxx = B(±|u|u)xx, p > 1. The main characteristic of this class of equations is the existence of two sources of dispersion, characterized by two coercive pseudo-differential operatorsL and B. Members of the class arise as mathematical models ...
متن کاملHaar wavelet method for solving Fisher's equation
In this paper, we develop an accurate and efficient Haar wavelet solution of Fisher's equation , a prototypical reaction–diffusion equation. The solutions of Fisher's equation are characterized by propagating fronts that can be very steep for large values of the reaction rate coefficient. There is an ongoing effort to better adapt Haar wavelet methods to the solution of differential equations w...
