Sufficient conditions are given for stability of solitary-wave solutions of model equations for one-dimensional long nonlinear waves. These conditions differ from others which have appeared previously in that they are phrased in terms of positivity properties of the Fourier transforms of the solitary waves. Their use leads to simplified proofs of existing stability results for the Korteweg-de V...

This paper considers a progressive solitary wave of permanent form in an ideal fluid of constant depth and explores Davies’ approximation [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A, 208 (1951), pp. 475– 486] with high-order corrections to Levi-Civita’s surface condition for the logarithmic hodograph variable. Using a complex plane that was originally introduced by Packham [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A, 213 (1952), pp. 23...

We have solved the Burgers-Fisher (BF) type equations, with time-dependent coefficients of convection and reaction terms, by using the auxiliary equation method. A class of solitary wave solutions are obtained, and some of which are derived for the first time. We have studied the effect of variable coefficients on physical parameters (amplitude and velocity) of solitary wave solutions. In some ...

This paper is concerned with the system of Zakharov equations which involves the interactions between Langmuir and ion-acoustic waves in plasma. Abundant explicit and exact solutions of the system of Zakharov equations are derived uniformly by using the first integral method. These exact solutions are include that of the solitary wave solutions of bell-type for n and E, the solitary wave soluti...

An auxiliary equation technique is applied to investigate a generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation with variable coefficients. Many exact traveling wave solutions are obtained which include algebraic solutions, solitons, solitary wave solutions and trigonometric solutions. Mathematics Subject Classification: 35Q53, 35B35

arises as the equation for solitary-wave solutions to a fifth-order long-wave equation for gravitycapillary water waves. Being Hamiltonian, reversible and depending upon two parameters, it shares the structure of the full steady water-wave problem. Moreover, all known analytical results for local bifurcations of solitary-wave solutions to the full water-wave problem have precise counterparts fo...

In this paper, the topological (dark) as well as non-topological (bright) soliton solutions of nonlinear evolution equations are obtained by the solitary wave ansatz method. Under some parameter conditions, exact solitary wave solutions are obtained. Note that, it is always useful and desirable to construct exact solutions especially soliton-type (dark, bright, kink, anti-kink, etc...) envelope...

We consider some Boussinesq systems of water wave theory, which are of coupled KdV type. After a brief review of the theory of existence-uniqueness of solutions of the associated initial-value problems, we turn to the numerical solution of their initialand periodic boundary-value problems by unconditionally stable, highly accurate methods that use Galerkin/finite element type schemes with perio...

The Exp-function method can be used as an alternative to obtain analytic and approximate solutions of different types of differential equations. In this work Exp -function method is used to find exact solitary wave solutions for Fitzhugh-Nagumo equation. The method is straightforward and concise and its applications for Fitzhugh-Nagumo equation enable one to find exact traveling wave solutions....

By using an extended ( ′ G )-expansion method, we construct the traveling wave solutions of the (2+1)dimensional Painleve integrable Burgers equations, the (2+1)-dimensional Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov equations, the (2+1)-dimensional Boiti-Leon-Pempinelli equations and the (2+1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equations, where G satisfies the second order linear ordinary differential equation.
