The interaction of a strongly nonlinear solitary wave with an external force is studied using the extended Korteweg-de Vries equation as a model. This equation has several different families of nonlinear wave solutions: solitons, the so-called ”thick” solitons, algebraic solitons, and breathers, depending upon the sign of the cubic nonlinear term. A simple nonlinear dynamical system of the seco...

Some classical types of nonlinear periodic wave motion are studied in special coordinates. In the case of cylinder coordinates, the usual perturbation techniques leads to the overdetermined systems of linear algebraic equations for unknown coefficients whose compatibility is key step of the investigation. Their solutions give solutions to the nonlinear wave equation which are periodic in time a...

In this paper, we established traveling wave solutions of the nonlinear evolution equation. The sine-cosine method was used to construct travelling wave solutions of the Fitzhugh-Nagumo equation and Cahn-Allen equation. Graphical interpretation shows that obtained results include periodic and Soliton wave solutions. It is also shown that for α =−1, solutions of Fitzhugh-Nagumo equation coincide...

A statistical approach based on the Wigner transform is proposed for the description of partially incoherent optical wave dynamics in nonlinear media. An evolution equation for the Wigner transform is derived from a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with arbitrary nonlinearity. It is shown that random phase fluctuations of an incoherent plane wave lead to a Landau-like damping effect, which can st...

A Shallow Water Wave-like nonlinear differential equation is considered by using the generalized bilinear equation with the generalized bilinear derivatives 3,x D and 3,t D , which possesses the same bilinear form as the standard shallow water wave bilinear equation. By symbolic computation, four presented classes of rational solutions contain all rational solutions to the resulting Shallow Wat...

A generalized and improved G′/G -expansion method is proposed for finding more general type and new travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. To illustrate the novelty and advantage of the proposed method, we solve the KdV equation, the Zakharov-KuznetsovBenjamin-Bona-Mahony ZKBBM equation and the strain wave equation in microstructured solids. Abundant exact travelling wave s...

The ambipolar radial electric field in a nonaxisymmetric plasma can be described by a nonlinear diffusion equation. This equation is shown to possess solitary wave solutions. A model nonlinear diffusion equation with a cubic nonlinearity is studied. An explicit analytic step-like form for the solitary wave is found. It is shown that the solitary wave solutions are linearly stable against all bu...
