We identify a periodic reduction of the non-autonomous lattice potential Korteweg–de Vries equation with the additive discrete Painlevé equation with E (1) 6 symmetry. We present a description of a set of symmetries of the reduced equations and their relations to the symmetries of the discrete Painlevé equation. Finally, we exploit the simple symmetric form of the reduced equations to find rati...

The modified method of simplest equation is applied to the extended Korteweg de Vries equation and to generalized Camassa Holm equation. Exact traveling wave solutions of these two nonlinear partial differential equations are obtained. The equations of Bernoulli, Riccati and the extended tanh equation are used as simplest equations. Some of the obtained solutions correspond to surface water wav...

Nonlinear long wave propagation in a medium with periodic parameters is considered in the framework of a variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation. The characteristic period of the variable medium is varied from slow to rapid, and its amplitude is also varied. For the case of a piecewise constant coefficient with a large scale for each constant piece, explicit results for the damping of a...

Transcritical flow over a localised obstacle generates upstream and downstream nonlinear wavetrains. In the weakly nonlinear long-wave regime, this flow has been modeled with the forced Korteweg-de Vries equation, where numerical simulations and asymptotic solutions have demonstrated that the upstream and downstream nonlinear wavetrains have the structure of unsteady undular bores, connected by...

(Received ?? and in revised form ??) It is well-known that transcritical flow over a localised obstacle generates upstream and downstream nonlinear wavetrains. The flow has been successfully modeled in the framework of the forced Korteweg-de Vries equation, where numerical and asymptotic analytical solutions have shown that the upstream and downstream nonlinear wavetrains have the structure of ...

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...

Based on quantum hydrodynamics theory (QHD), the propagation of nonlinear quantum dust-ion acoustic (QDIA) solitary waves in a ‎collision-less, unmagnetized four component quantum plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, ions and stationary negatively charged ‎dust grains with dust charge variation is investigated using reductive perturbation method. The charging current to the dust grains ca...

Stable embedded solitons are discovered in the generalized third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation. When this equation can be reduced to a perturbed complex modified Korteweg-de Vries equation, we developed a soliton perturbation theory which shows that a continuous family of sech-shaped embedded solitons exist and are nonlinearly stable. These analytical results are confirmed by our numeric...

The reduced Ostrovsky equation is a modification of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, in which the usual linear dispersive term with a third-order derivative is replaced by a linear non-local integral term, which represents the effect of background rotation. This equation is integrable provided a certain curvature constraint is satisfied. We demonstrate, through theoretical analysis and numerical...

The Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation has improved short-wavelength behaviour, as compared to the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and is another uni-directional wave equation with cnoidal wave solutions. Cnoidal wave solutions can appear in other applications than surface gravity waves as well, for instance to describe ion acoustic waves in plasma physics. Using a computerized symbolic computation tech...
