On Completely Integrability Systems of Differential Equations

In this note we discuss the approach which was given by Wazwaz for the proof of the complete integrability to the system of nonlinear differential equations. We show that his method presented in [Wazwaz A.M. Completely integrable coupled KdV and coupled KP systems, Commun Nonlinear Sci Simulat 15 (2010) 2828-2835] is incorrect.Comment: 14 pages. This paper was sent to the Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulatio

Elliptic solutions to a generalized BBM equation

An approach is proposed to obtain some exact explicit solutions in terms of the Weierstrass' elliptic function $\wp$ to a generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation. Conditions for periodic and solitary wave like solutions can be expressed compactly in terms of the invariants of $\wp$. The approach unifies recently established ad-hoc methods to a certain extent. Evaluation of a balancing principle simplifies the application of this approach.Comment: 11 pages, 2 tables, submitted to Phys. Lett.

Seven common errors in finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations

We analyze the common errors of the recent papers in which the solitary wave solutions of nonlinear differential equations are presented. Seven common errors are formulated and classified. These errors are illustrated by using multiple examples of the common errors from the recent publications. We show that many popular methods in finding of the exact solutions are equivalent each other. We demonstrate that some authors look for the solitary wave solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and do not take into account the well - known general solutions of these equations. We illustrate several cases when authors present some functions for describing solutions but do not use arbitrary constants. As this fact takes place the redundant solutions of differential equations are found. A few examples of incorrect solutions by some authors are presented. Several other errors in finding the exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations are also discussed.Comment: 42 page

Exact solitary and periodic-wave solutions of the K(2,2) equation (defocusing branch)

An auxiliary elliptic equation method is presented for constructing exact solitary and periodic travelling-wave solutions of the K(2, 2) equation (defocusing branch). Some known results in the literature are recovered more efficiently, and some new exact travelling-wave solutions are obtained. Also, new stationary-wave solutions are obtained

Exact solutions of equations for the Burgers hierarchy

Some classes of the rational, periodic and solitary wave solutions for the Burgers hierarchy are presented. The solutions for this hierarchy are obtained by using the generalized Cole - Hopf transformation

New Travelling Wave Solutions of Two Nonlinear Physical Models by Using a Modified Tanh-Coth Method

In this work, a modified tanh – coth method is used to derive travelling wave solutions for (2 + 1)-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation and (3 + 1)-dimensional Burgers equation. A new variable is used to solve these equations and established new travelling wave solutions. </jats:p

Studying nonlinear effects on the early stage of phase ordering using a decomposition method

Nonlinear effects on the early stage of phase ordering are studied using Adomian's decomposition method for the Ginzburg-Landau equation for a nonconserved order parameter. While the long-time regime and the linear behavior at short times of the theory are well understood, the onset of nonlinearities at short times and the breaking of the linear theory at different length scales are less understood. In the Adomian's decomposition method, the solution is systematically calculated in the form of a polynomial expansion for the order parameter, with a time dependence given as a series expansion. The method is very accurate for short times, which allows to incorporate the short-time dynamics of the nonlinear terms in a analytical and controllable way.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, to appear in Phys Lett

Compactons and kink-like solutions of BBM-like equations by means of factorization

In this work, we study the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony like equations with a fully nonlinear dispersive term by means of the factorization technique. In this way we find the travelling wave solutions of this equation in terms of the Weierstrass function and its degenerated trigonometric and hyperbolic forms. Then, we obtain the pattern of periodic, solitary, compacton and kink-like solutions. We give also the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian, which are linked to the factorization, for the nonlinear second order ordinary differential equations associated to the travelling wave equations.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure

A new numerical scheme for solving system of Volterra integro-differential equation

In this article, we apply Genocchi polynomials to solve numerically a system of Volterra integro-differential equations. This is done by approximating functions using Genocchi polynomials and derivatives using Genocchi polynomials operational matrix of integer order derivative. Com-bining approximation with collocation method, the problem is reduced to a system of algebraic equations in terms of Genocchi coefficients of the unknown functions. By solving the Genocchi coefficients, we obtain good approximate functions of the exact solutions of the system. A few numerical examples show that our proposed Genocchi polynomials method achieves better accu-racy compared to some other existing methods
