Purpose: In this article, two main subjects are discussed. First, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with an anti-cubic (AC) nonlinearity equation is examined, which has a great working area, importance and popularity among the study areas of soliton behavior in optical fibers, by using the enhanced modified extended tanh expansion method and a wide range of optical soliton solutions is obtained. Second, the effects of AC parameters on soliton behavior are examined for each obtained soliton type. Methodology: In order to apply the method, the non-linear ordinary differential equation form (NLODE) of the investigated NLSE-AC is obtained by applying the defined wave transformation. Then, with the help of the proposed algorithm for the NLODE form, polynomial form, an algebraic equation system is obtained by setting the coefficients of this form to zero, and the solution of this system is also obtained. After determining the suitable solution set, the optical soliton solution of the investigated problem is obtained with the help of the serial form of the proposed method, a Riccati solution and wave transform. After checking that the solution satisfies the investigated problem, 3D and 2D graphics are obtained for the special parameter values and the necessary comments are made in the relevant sections. Findings: With the proposed method, many optical soliton solutions, such as topological, anti-peaked, combined peaked-bright, combined anti-peaked dark, singular, combined singular-anti peaked, periodic singular, composite kink anti-peaked, kink, periodic and periodic, with different amplitudes are obtained, and 3D and 2D representations have been made. Then, the effect of AC parameters on the soliton behavior in each case has been successfully studied. It has been shown that AC parameters have a significant effect on the soliton behavior, and this effect changes depending on the soliton shape and the parameters. Moreover, providing and maintaining the delicate balance between the soliton shape and the parameters and the interaction of the parameters with each other involves great difficulties. Originality: Although some soliton types of the NLSE-AC equation have been presented for the first time in this study, there is no study in the literature showing the effect of AC parameters on soliton behavior, especially for the NLSE-AC equation.

The paper concentrates on the solitary waves that are retrievable from the generalized Boussinesq equation. The numerical simulations are displayed in the paper that gives a visual perspective to the model studied in neurosciences. The Laplace–Adomian decomposition scheme makes this visualization of the solitons possible. The numerical simulations are being reported for the first time using an elegant approach. The results would be helpful for neuroscientists and clinical studies in Medicine. The novelty lies in the modeling that is successfully conducted with an impressively small error measure. In the past, the model was integrated analytically only to recover soliton solutions and its conserved quantities. Full article

This work provides an analytical approach to characterize and determine solutions to a porous medium system of equations with views in applications to invasive-invaded biological dynamics. Firstly, the existence and uniqueness of solutions are proved. Afterwards, profiles of solutions are obtained making use of the self-similar structure that permits showing the existence of a diffusive front. The solutions are then studied within the Travelling Waves (TW) domain showing the existence of potential and exponential profiles in the stable connection that converges to the stationary solutions in which the invasive species predominates. The TW profiles are shown to exist based on the geometry perturbation theory together with an analytical-topological argument in the phase plane. The finding of an exponential decaying rate (related with the advection and diffusion parameters) in the invaded species TW is not trivial in the nonlinear diffusion case and reflects the existence of a TW trajectory governed by the invaded species runaway (in the direction of the advection) and the diffusion (acting in a finite speed front or support).

The applications of the Eikonal and stationary heat transfer equations in broad fields of science and engineering are the motivation to present an implementation, not only valid for structured domains but also for completely irregular domains, of the meshless Generalized Finite Difference Method (GFDM). In this paper, the fully non-linear Eikonal equation and the stationary heat transfer equation with variable thermal conductivity and source term are solved in 2D. The explicit formulae for derivatives are developed and applied to the equations in order to obtain the numerical schemes to be used. Moreover, the numerical values that approximate the functions for the considered domain are obtained. Numerous examples for both equations on irregular 2D domains are exposed to underline the effectiveness and practicality of the method. Full article
