The system of shallow water waves is one of the classical examples for nonlinear, twodimensional conservation laws. The paper investigates a simple kinetic equation depending on a parameter " which leads for " ! 0 to the system of shallow water waves. The corresponding 'equilibrium' distribution function has a compact support which depends on the eigenvalues of the hyperbolic system. It is show...

A method for symbolically computing conservation laws of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in multiple space dimensions is presented in the language of variational calculus and linear algebra. The steps of the method are illustrated using the ZakharovKuznetsov and Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations as examples. The method is algorithmic and has been implemented in Mathematica. The s...

In this paper, we propose monotonicity preserving and total variation diminishing (TVD) multigrid methods for solving scalar conservation laws. We generalize the upwind-biased residual restriction and interpolation operators for solving linear wave equations to nonlinear conservation laws. The idea is to define nonlinear restriction and interpolation based on localRiemann solutions. Theoretical...

A general idea for solving hyperbolic systems of conservation laws is to use a local relaxation approximation. The motivation is to have a simple discrete velocity kinetic type relaxation regularization which approximates the original system with a small dissipative correction. In this paper we extend the previous approach to systems of nonlinear parabolic equations. The corresponding relaxatio...

It has been known for some time that for a large class of nonlinear field theories in Minkowski space with two-dimensional target space the complex eikonal equation defines integrable submodels with infinitely many conservation laws. These conservation laws are related to the area-preserving diffeomorphisms on target space. Here we demonstrate that for all these theories there exists, in fact, ...

In this paper, a new implicit nonstandard finite difference scheme for conservation laws, which preserving the property of TVD (total variation diminishing) of the solution, is proposed. This scheme is derived by using nonlocal approximation for nonlinear terms of partial differential equation. Schemes preserving the essential physical property of TVD are of great importance in practice. Such s...

Two conservation laws of nonlinear micropolar elasticity (Jk = 0 and Lk = 0) are derived within the framework of Noether’s theorem on invariant variational principles, thereby extending the earlier authors’ results from the couple stress elasticity. Two non-conserved M -type integrals of linear micropolar elasticity are then derived and their values discussed. The comparison with related work i...

on the basis of a reproducing kernel space, an iterative algorithm for solving the one-dimensional linear and nonlinear schrödinger equations is presented. the analytical solution is shown in a series form in the reproducing kernel space and the approximate solution is constructed by truncating the series. the convergence of the approximate solution to the analytical solution is also proved. th...
