In this paper, we establish exact solutions for the time-fractional Klein-Gordon equation, and the time-fractional Hirota-Satsuma coupled KdV system. The He’s semi-inverse and the Kudryashov methods are used to construct exact solutions of these equations. We apply He’s semi-inverse method to establish a variational theory for the time-fractional Klein-Gordon equation, and the time-fractiona...

An analytic study was conducted on coupled partial differential equations. We formally derived new solitary wave solutions of generalized coupled system of Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) and KdV equations by using modified extended tanh method. The traveling wave solutions for each generalized coupled system of ZK and KdV equations are shown in form of periodic, dark, and bright solitary wave solution...

We study the stability of spatially periodic solutions to the Kawahara equation, a fifth order, nonlinear partial differential equation. The equation models the propagation of nonlinear water-waves in the long-wavelength regime, for Weber numbers close to 1/3 where the approximate description through the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation breaks down. Beyond threshold, Weber number larger than 1/...

The object of this article is the comparison of numerical solutions of the so-called Whitham equation describing wave motion at the surface of a perfect fluid to numerical approximations of solutions of the full Euler free-surface water-wave problem. The Whitham equation ηt + 3 2 c0 h0 ηηx +Kh0∗ ηx = 0 was proposed by Whitham [33] as an alternative to the KdV equation for the description of sur...

In this paper, the application of the method of lines (MOL) to the KdV equation was presented. The MOL approach of the KdV equation led to a system of ordinary differential equations. Solution of the system was obtained by applying Euler’s method. In order to show the accuracy of the presented method, two test problem whose exact solutions are known were used. The numerical solutions obtained w...

and Applied Analysis 3 nonlinear term is treated with the Chebyshev collocation method. The time discretization is a classical Crank-Nicholson-leap-frog scheme. Yuan and Wu 43 extended the Legendre dual-Petrov-Galerkin method proposed by Shen 44 , further developed by Yuan et al. 45 to general fifth-order KdV-type equations with various nonlinear terms. The main aim of this paper is to propose ...

Frobenius integrable decompositions are introduced for partial differential equations. A procedure is provided for determining a class of partial differential equations of polynomial type, which possess specified Frobenius integrable decompositions. Two concrete examples with logarithmic derivative Bäcklund transformations are given, and the presented partial differential equations are transfor...
