The Lagrangian density for the regularized-long-wave equation (also known as the BBM equation) is presented. Using the trial function technique, ordinary differential equations that describe the time dependence of the position of the peaks, amplitudes, and widths for the collision of two solitary waves are obtained. These equations are analyzed in the Born and “equal-width” approximations and c...

in this paper, the coupled dispersive (2+1)-dimensional long wave equation is studied. the traveling wave hypothesis yields complexiton solutions. subsequently, the wave equation is studied with power law nonlinearity where the ansatz method is applied to yield solitary wave solutions. the constraint conditions for the existence of solitons naturally fall out of the derivation of the soliton so...

in this work g'/g-expansion method has been employed to solve (2+1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equation. it is shown that g'/g-expansion method, with the help of symbolic computation, provides a very effective and powerful mathematical tool, for solving this equation.

Abstract We present a new generalization of the nonlinear variational wave equation. prove existence local, smooth solutions for this system. As limiting case, we recover

A minimum effort optimal control problem for the undamped wave equation is considered which involves L∞–control costs. Since the problem is non-differentiable a regularized problem is introduced. Uniqueness of the solution of the regularized problem is proven and the convergence of the regularized solutions is analyzed. Further, a semi-smooth Newton method is formulated to solve the regularized...
