The properties of the so-called regularized short pulse equation (RSPE) are explored with a particular focus on the traveling wave solutions of this model. We theoretically analyze and numerically evolve two sets of such solutions. First, using a fixed point iteration scheme, we numerically integrate the equation to find solitary waves. It is found that these solutions are well approximated by ...

By using the theory of planar dynamical systems to a coupled non-linear wave equation, the existence of solitary wave solutions and uncountably infinite, many smooth and non-smooth, periodic wave solutions is obtained. Under different parametric conditions, various sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the above solutions are given. 2003 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

In the paper, with the aid of symbolic computation, we investigate the generalized Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV system via our Weierstrass semi-rational expansion method presented recently using the rational expansion of Weierstrass elliptic function and its first-order derivative. As a consequence, three families of newWeierstrass elliptic function solutions via Weierstrass elliptic function }(n...

We consider the solitary wave solutions of a Korteweg-de Vries equation, where the coefficients in the equation vary with time over a certain region. When these coefficients vary rapidly compared with the solitary wave, then it is well-known that the solitary wave may fission into two or more solitary waves. On the other hand, when these coefficients vary slowly, the solitary wave deforms adiab...

We study the singularly perturbed (sixth-order) Boussinesq equation recently introduced by Daripa and Hua [Appl. Math. Comput. 101 (1999), 159-207]. This equation describes the bi-directional propagation of small amplitude and long capillary-gravity waves on the surface of shallow water for Bond number less than but very close to 1/3. On the basis of far-field analyses and heuristic arguments, ...

We consider the nonlinear Dirac equation in one dimension (the massive Gross-Neveu model). We explicitly construct solitary wave solutions, and then study the linearization of the equation at a solitary wave. We present numerical simulations and justify them with explicit construction of some of the eigenfunctions. Then we present a WKB-based argument which justifies (but does not prove) the sp...

A broad general solutions including the breather type solitary wave solutions and doubly periodic wave solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional typical breaking soliton equation was derived by means of the Hirotas bilinear form and generalized three-wave type of ansätz approach. And, some mechanical features are given to demonstrate the interesting outcomes.

We consider nonlinear Dirac equations (NLDE's) in the 1+1 dimension with scalar-scalar self-interaction g2/κ+1(Ψ[over ¯]Ψ)κ+1 in the presence of various external electromagnetic fields. We find exact solutions for special external fields and we study the behavior of solitary-wave solutions to the NLDE in the presence of a wide variety of fields in a variational approximation depending on collec...

An auxiliary elliptic equation method is presented for constructing exact solitary and periodic travelling-wave solutions of the K(2, 2) equation (defocusing branch). Some known results in the literature are recovered more efficiently, and some new exact travelling-wave solutions are obtained. Also, new stationary-wave solutions are obtained.

We study the solitary waves and their interaction for a six-order generalized Boussinesq equation (SGBE) both numerically and analytically. A shooting method with appropriate initial conditions, based on the phase plane analysis around the equilibrium point, is used to construct the solitary-wave solutions for this nonintegrable equation. A symmetric three-level implicit finite difference schem...
