To this end, we first construct its local solutions by the standard iteration technique, then we deduce the basic energy estimate by constructing a convex entropy-entropy flux pair to this system. Moreover, the L∞-estimates and H^2-estimates of solutions are obtained through some delicate estimates. In our results, we do not ask the far fields of the initial data to be equal and the initial data can be arbitrarily large which generalize the result obtained in [7].展开更多

Some physical properties such as the spatiotemporal evolution, waveform structure, interactive phenomena of solitons are discussed, especially in the two-soliton case. It is found that different interactive behaviours of solitary waves take place under different parameter conditions of overtaking collision in this system.

In this paper, a hydrogel rod under chemomechanical coupling was analytically studied based on a poroelastical model. The already known constitutive and governing equations were simplified into the one dimensional case, then two different boundary conditions were considered. The expressions of concentration, displacement,chemical potential and stress related to time were obtained in a series form. Examples illustrate the interaction mechanism of chemical and mechanical effect. It was found that there was a balance state in the diffusion of concentration and the diffusion process could lead to the expansion or the stress change of the hydrogel rod.展开更多

Hence it is reasonable that the Schrolinger system -△u1+u1=|u1|2q-1u1-εb(x)|u2|1|u1|q-1u1,-△u2+u2=|u2|2q-2u2-εb(x)|u1|1|u2|q-1u2 has multiple-bump solutions which behave like Uλ in the neighborhood of some points. For u=(u1,u2)∈H1(R3)×H1(R3), a nonlinear functional Iε(u)=I1(u1)+I2(u2)-ε/q∫R3b(x)|u1|q|u2|qdx,is defined,where I1(u1)=1/2||u1||2-1/2q∫R3|u1|2qdx and I2(u2)=1/2||u2||2ω-1/2q∫R3|u2|2qdx. It is proved that the solutions of the system are the critical points of I,. Let Z be the smooth solution manifold of the unperturbed problem and TzZ is the tangent space. The critical point of I is rewritten as the form of z + w, where w ∈ (TzZ)⊥. Using some properties of Iε, it is proved that there exists a critical point of I, close to the form which is a multi-bump solution.展开更多

Generalized complex coupled KdV (GCCKdV) equations are investigated in this paper. Through the dependent variable transformations and symbolic computation, GCCKdV equations are transformed into their bilinear forms, based on which the one- and two-soliton solutions are obtained. Through the interactions of two solitons, the regular elastic collision are shown. When the wave numbers are complex, three kinds of solitonie collisions are presented: (i) two solitons merge and separate from each other periodically; (ii) two solitons exhibit the attraction and repulsion nearly twice, and finally separate from each other after such type of interaction; (iii) two solitons are ftuctuant in the central region of the collision. Propagation features of solitons are investigated with the effects of the coefficients in the GCCKdV equations considered. Velocity of soliton increase with the a increasing. Amplitude of v increase with the a increasing and decrease with the β increasing.展开更多
