We study the Whitham equations for the defocusing complex modified KdV (mKdV) equation. These Whitham equations are quasilinear hyperbolic equations and they describe the averaged dynamics of the rapid oscillations which appear in the solution of the mKdV equation when the dispersive parameter is small. The oscillations are referred to as dispersive shocks. The Whitham equations for the mKdV eq...

this paper presents the jeffery hamel flow of a non-newtonian fluid namely casson fluid. suitable similarity transform is applied to reduce governing nonlinear partial differential equations to a much simpler ordinary differential equation. variation of parameters method (vpm) is then employed to solve resulting equation. same problem is solved numerical by using runge-kutta order 4 method. a c...

in this paper, we consider first-order fuzzy differential equations with initial value conditions. the convergence, consistency and stability of difference method for approximating the solution of fuzzy differential equations involving generalized h-differentiability, are studied. then the local truncation error is defined and sufficient conditions for convergence, consistency and stability of ...

In recent years two nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations have attracted much attention due to their integrable structure. We prove that both equations arise in the modeling of the propagation of shallow water waves over a flat bed. The equations capture stronger nonlinear effects than the classical nonlinear dispersive Benjamin–Bona–Mahoney and Korteweg–de Vries equations. In par...

We study the dispersive properties of the wave equation associated with the shifted Laplace–Beltrami operator on real hyperbolic spaces and deduce new Strichartz estimates for a large family of admissible pairs. As an application, we obtain local well–posedness results for the nonlinear wave equation.

The problems under consideration are related to wave propagation in nonlinear dispersive media, characterised by higher-order nonlinear and higher-order dispersive effects. Particularly two problems — wave propagation in dilatant granular materials and wave propagation in shape-memory alloys — are studied. Model equations are KdVlike evolution equations in both cases. The types of solutions are...

In this chapter, we deal with the synchronization problem of a Lorenz system using a proportional reduced-order observer design in the algebraic and differential settings. We prove the asymptotic stability of the resulting error system, and by means of algebraic manipulations, we obtain estimates of the current states (master system). In this chapter, the construction of a proportional reduced-...
