Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nonlinear partial differential equations are encountered in various fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, and numerous applications. Exact (closed form) solutions of differential equations play an important role in the proper understanding of qualitative features of many phenomena and processes in various areas of natural and engineering sciences. Exact solutions of nonlinear equations graphically demonstrate and enable the unraveling of the mechanisms of many complex nonlinear phenomena, such as the spatial localization of transfer processes, the multiplicity or absence of steady states under various conditions, the existence of peaking regimes, and the possible nonsmoothness or discontinuity of the sought quantities. It is important to note that exact solutions of the traveling-wave and self-similar solutions often represent the asymptotics of much wider classes of solutions corresponding to different initial and boundary conditions; this makes it possible to draw general conclusions and predict the dynamics of various nonlinear phenomena and processes. Even the special exact solutions that do not have a clear physical meaning can be used as “test problems” to verify the consistency and estimate errors of various numerical, asymptotic, and approximate analytical methods. Exact solutions can serve as a basis for perfecting and testing computer algebra software packages for solving partial differential equations. This Special Issue aims to collect original and significant contributions to both exact solutions and topics related to symmetries, reductions, analytical methods, and different applications of nonlinear PDEs. In addition, this Special Issue may serve as a platform for the exchange of ideas between scientists of different disciplines interested in nonlinear partial differential equations and partial functional differential equations.

Two modifications with variable coefficients of the well-known SEIR model for epidemic development in the application to the modeling of the infection curves of COVID-19 are considered. The data for these models are information on the number of infections each day obtained from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center database. In our paper, we propose special methods based on Tikhonov regularization for models’ identification on the class of piecewise constant coefficients. In contrast to the model with constant coefficients, which cannot always accurately describe some of infection curves, the first model is able to approximate them for different countries with an accuracy of 2–8%. The second model considered in the article takes into account external sources of infection in the form of an inhomogeneous term in one of the model equations and is able to approximate the data with a slightly better accuracy of 2–4%. For the second model, we also consider the possibility of using other input data, namely the number of infected people per day. Such data are used to model infection curves for several waves of the COVID-19 epidemic, including part of the Omicron wave. Numerical experiments carried out for a number of countries show that the waves of external sources of infection found are ahead of the wave of infection by 10 or more days. At the same time, other piecewise constant coefficients of the model change relatively slowly. These models can be applied fairly reliably to approximate many waves of infection curves with high precision and can be used to identify external and hidden sources of infection. This is the advantage of our models. Full article

The problem of constructing and justifying the discrete algorithms of the support operator method for numerical modeling of differential repeated rotational operations of vector analysis (curlcurl) in application to problems of magnetohydrodynamics is considered. Difference schemes of the support operator method on the unstructured meshes do not approximate equations in the local sense. Therefore, it is necessary to prove the convergence of these schemes to the exact solution, which is possible after analyzing the error structure of their approximation. For this analysis, a decomposition of the space of mesh vector functions into an orthogonal direct sum of subspaces of potential and vortex fields is introduced. Generalized centroid-tensor metric representations of repeated operations of tensor analysis (div, grad, and curl) are constructed. Representations have flux-circulation properties that are integrally consistent on spatial meshes of irregular structure. On smooth solutions of the model magnetostatic problem on a tetrahedral mesh with the first order of accuracy in the rms sense, the convergence of the constructed difference schemes is proved. The algorithms constructed in this work can be used to solve physical problems with discontinuous magnetic viscosity, dielectric permittivity, or thermal resistance of the medium. Full article

2D numerical modeling algorithms of multi-component, multi-phase filtration processes of mass transfer in frost-susceptible rocks using nonlinear partial differential equations are a valuable tool for problems of subsurface hydrodynamics considering the presence of free gas, free water, gas hydrates, ice formation and phase transitions. In this work, a previously developed one-dimensional numerical modeling approach is modified and 2D algorithms are formulated through means of the support-operators method (SOM) and presented for the entire area of the process extension. The SOM is used to generalize the method of finite difference for spatially irregular grids case. The approach is useful for objects where a lithological heterogeneity of rocks has a big influence on formation and accumulation of gas hydrates and therefore it allows to achieve a sufficiently good spatial approximation for numerical modeling of objects related to gas hydrates dissociation in porous media. The modeling approach presented here consistently applies the method of physical process splitting which allows to split the system into dissipative equation and hyperbolic unit. The governing variables were determined in flow areas of the hydrate equilibrium zone by applying the Gibbs phase rule. The problem of interaction of a vertical fault and horizontal formation containing gas hydrates was investigated and test calculations were done for understanding of influence of thermal effect of the fault on the formation fluid dynamic.

The family of the generalized Schrödinger equations with Kerr nonlinearity of unrestricted order is considered. The solutions of equations are looked for using traveling wave reductions. The Painlevé test is applied for finding arbitrary constants in the expansion of the general solution into the Laurent series. It is shown that the equation does not pass the Painlevé test but has two arbitrary constants in local expansion. This fact allows us to look for solitary wave solutions for equations of unrestricted order. The main result of this paper is the theorem of existence of optical solitons for equations of unrestricted order that is proved by direct calculation. The optical solitons for partial differential equations of the twelfth order are given in detail. Full article

We consider a problem of hydrodynamic stability of the liquid displacement by gas in a porous medium in the case when a light gas is located above the liquid. The onset of instability and the evolution of the small shortwave perturbations are investigated. We show that when using the Darcy filtration law, the onset of instability may take place at an infinitely large wavenumber when the normal modes method is inapplicable. The results of numerical simulation of the nonlinear problem indicate that the anomalous growth of the amplitude of shortwave small perturbations persists, but the growth rate of amplitude decreases significantly compared to the results of linear analysis. An analysis of the stability of the gas/liquid interface is also carried out using a network model of a porous medium. It is shown that the results of surface evolution calculations obtained using the network model are in qualitative agreement with the results of the continual approach, but the continual model predicts a higher velocity of the interfacial surfaces in the capillaries. The growth rate of perturbations in the network model also increases with decreasing perturbation wavelength at a constant amplitude. Full article

The nonlinear phenomena in numbers are modelled in a wide range of fields such as chemical physics, ocean physics, optical fibres, plasma physics, fluid dynamics, solid-state physics, biological physics and marine engineering. This research article systematically investigates a (2+1)-dimensional generalized Bogoyavlensky–Konopelchenko equation. We achieve a five-dimensional Lie algebra of the equation through Lie group analysis. This, in turn, affords us the opportunity to compute an optimal system of fourteen-dimensional Lie subalgebras related to the underlying equation. As a consequence, the various subalgebras are engaged in performing symmetry reductions of the equation leading to many solvable nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Thus, we secure different types of solitary wave solutions including periodic (Weierstrass and elliptic integral), topological kink and anti-kink, complex, trigonometry and hyperbolic functions. Moreover, we utilize the bifurcation theory of dynamical systems to obtain diverse nontrivial travelling wave solutions consisting of both bounded as well as unbounded solution-types to the equation under consideration. Consequently, we generate solutions that are algebraic, periodic, constant and trigonometric in nature. The various results gained in the study are further analyzed through numerical simulation. Finally, we achieve conservation laws of the equation under study by engaging the standard multiplier method with the inclusion of the homotopy integral formula related to the obtained multipliers. In addition, more conserved currents of the equation are secured through Noether’s theorem. Full article

This paper is a numerical simulation of highly dispersive optical solitons in birefringent fibers with polynomial nonlinear form, which is achieved for the first time. The algorithmic approach is applied with the usage of the Laplace–Adomian decomposition scheme. Dark and bright soliton simulations are presented. The error measure has a very low count, and thus, the simulations are almost an exact replica of such solitons that analytically arise from the governing system. The suggested iterative scheme finds the solution without any discretization, linearization, or restrictive assumptions. Full article

This work analytically recovers the highly dispersive bright 1–soliton solution using for the perturbed complex Ginzburg–Landau equation, which is studied with three forms of nonlinear refractive index structures. They are Kerr law, parabolic law, and polynomial law. The perturbation terms appear with maximum allowable intensity, also known as full nonlinearity. The semi-inverse variational principle makes this retrieval possible. The amplitude–width relation is obtained by solving a cubic polynomial equation using Cardano’s approach. The parameter constraints for the existence of such solitons are also enumerated. Full article

In this paper, we study a generalized scale-invariant analogue of the well-known Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation. This generalized equation can be thought of as a bridge between the KdV equation and the SIdV equation that was discovered recently, and shares the same one-soliton solution as the KdV equation. By employing the auxiliary equation method, we are able to obtain a wide variety of traveling wave solutions, both bounded and singular, which are kink and bell types, periodic waves, exponential waves, and peaked (peakon) waves. As far as we know, these solutions are new and their explicit closed-form expressions have not been reported elsewhere in the literature. Full article

In this work, we study the generalized 2D equal-width equation which arises in various fields of science. With the aid of numerous methods which includes Lie symmetry analysis, power series expansion and Weierstrass method, we produce closed-form solutions of this model. The exact solutions obtained are the snoidal wave, cnoidal wave, Weierstrass elliptic function, Jacobi elliptic cosine function, solitary wave and exponential function solutions. Moreover, we give a graphical representation of the obtained solutions using certain parametric values. Furthermore, the conserved vectors of the underlying equation are constructed by utilizing two approaches: the multiplier method and Noether’s theorem. The multiplier method provided us with four local conservation laws, whereas Noether’s theorem yielded five nonlocal conservation laws. The conservation laws that are constructed contain the conservation of energy and momentum. Full article

The problem with training spiking neural networks (SNNs) is relevant due to the ultra-low power consumption these networks could exhibit when implemented in neuromorphic hardware. The ongoing progress in the fabrication of memristors, a prospective basis for analogue synapses, gives relevance to studying the possibility of SNN learning on the base of synaptic plasticity models, obtained by fitting the experimental measurements of the memristor conductance change. The dynamics of memristor conductances is (necessarily) nonlinear, because conductance changes depend on the spike timings, which neurons emit in an all-or-none fashion. The ability to solve classification tasks was previously shown for spiking network models based on the bio-inspired local learning mechanism of spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), as well as with the plasticity that models the conductance change of nanocomposite (NC) memristors. Input data were presented to the network encoded into the intensities of Poisson input spike sequences. This work considers another approach for encoding input data into input spike sequences presented to the network: temporal encoding, in which an input vector is transformed into relative timing of individual input spikes. Since temporal encoding uses fewer input spikes, the processing of each input vector by the network can be faster and more energy-efficient. The aim of the current work is to show the applicability of temporal encoding to training spiking networks with three synaptic plasticity models: STDP, NC memristor approximation, and PPX memristor approximation. We assess the accuracy of the proposed approach on several benchmark classification tasks: Fisher’s Iris, Wisconsin breast cancer, and the pole balancing task (CartPole). The accuracies achieved by SNN with memristor plasticity and conventional STDP are comparable and are on par with classic machine learning approaches. Full article

The problem of multicriteria optimization of a dynamic model is solved using the methods of the similarity theory and the criteria importance theory. The authors propose the original model of a positional system with two hydraulic actuators, synchronously moving a heavy object with a given accuracy. In order to reduce the number of optimizing parameters, the mathematical model of the system is presented in a dimensionless form. Three dimensionless optimization criteria that characterize the accuracy, size, and quality of the dynamic positioning process are considered. It is shown that the application of the criteria importance method significantly reduces the Pareto set (the set of the best solutions). This opens up the possibility of reducing many optimal solutions to one solution, which greatly facilitates the choice of parameters when designing a mechanical object. Full article

In this paper, we consider the stochastic fractional-space Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation forced by multiplicative noise. To obtain the exact solutions of the stochastic fractional-space Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation, we apply the GG-expansion method. Furthermore, we generalize some previous results that did not use this equation with multiplicative noise and fractional space. Additionally, we show the influence of the stochastic term on the exact solutions of the stochastic fractional-space Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation. Full article
