Stability and Time-Step Constraints of Implicit-Explicit Runge-Kutta Methods for the Linearized Korteweg-de Vries Equation

This paper provides a study on the stability and time-step constraints of solving the linearized Korteweg-de Vries(KdV)equation,using implicit-explicit(IMEX)Runge-Kutta(RK)time integration methods combined with either finite difference(FD)or local discontinuous Galerkin(DG)spatial discretization.We analyze the stability of the fully discrete scheme,on a uniform mesh with periodic boundary conditions,using the Fourier method.For the linearized KdV equation,the IMEX schemes are stable under the standard Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy(CFL)conditionτ≤λh.Here,λis the CFL number,τis the time-step size,and h is the spatial mesh size.We study several IMEX schemes and characterize their CFL number as a function ofθ=d/h^(2)with d being the dispersion coefficient,which leads to several interesting observations.We also investigate the asymptotic behaviors of the CFL number for sufficiently refined meshes and derive the necessary conditions for the asymptotic stability of the IMEX-RK methods.Some numerical experiments are provided in the paper to illustrate the performance of IMEX methods under different time-step constraints.

Analytical and Numerical Computations of Multi-Solitons in the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) Equation

In this paper, an analytical and numerical computation of multi-solitons in Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is presented. The KdV equation, which is classic of all model equations of nonlinear waves in the soliton phenomena, is described. In the analytical computation, the multi-solitons in KdV equation are computed symbolically using computer symbolic manipulator—Wolfram Mathematica via Hirota method because of the lengthy algebraic computation in the method. For the numerical computation, Crank-Nicolson implicit scheme is used to obtain numerical algorithm for the KdV equation. The simulations of solitons in MATLAB as well as results concerning collision or interactions between solitons are presented. Comparing the analytical and numerical solutions, it is observed that the results are identically equal with little ripples in solitons after a collision in the numerical simulations;however there is no significant effect to cause a change in their properties. This supports the existence of solitons solutions and the theoretical assertion that solitons indeed collide with one another and come out without change of properties or identities.

The atmosphere is an evolutionary agent essential to the shaping of a planet,while in oceanic science and daily life,liquids are commonly seen.In this paper,we investigate a generalized variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vriesmodified Korteweg-de Vries equation for the atmosphere,oceanic fluids and plasmas.With symbolic computation,beginning with a presumption,we work out certain scaling transformations,bilinear forms through the binary Bell polynomials and our scaling transformations,N solitons(with N being a positive integer)via the aforementioned bilinear forms and bilinear auto-Bäcklund transformations through the Hirota method with some solitons.In addition,Painlevé-type auto-Bäcklund transformations with some solitons are symbolically computed out.Respective dependences and constraints on the variable/constant coefficients are discussed,while those coefficients correspond to the quadratic-nonlinear,cubic-nonlinear,dispersive,dissipative and line-damping effects in the atmosphere,oceanic fluids and plasmas.

Lax Pair and Darboux Transformation for a Variable-Coefficient Fifth-Order Korteweg-de Vries Equation with Symbolic Computation

In this paper, we put our focus on a variable-coe^cient fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries （fKdV） equation, which possesses a great number of excellent properties and is of current importance in physical and engineering fields. Certain constraints are worked out, which make sure the integrability of such an equation. Under those constraints, some integrable properties are derived, such as the Lax pair and Darboux transformation. Via the Darboux transformation, which is an exercisable way to generate solutions in a recursive manner, the one- and two-solitonic solutions are presented and the relevant physical applications of these solitonic structures in some fields are also pointed out.

Artificial perturbation for solving the Korteweg-de Vries equation

A perturbation method is introduced in the context of dynamical system for solving the nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Best efficiency is obtained for few perturbative corrections. It is shown that, the question of convergence of this approach is completely guaranteed here, because a limited number of term included in the series can describe a sufficient exact solution. Comparisons with the solutions of the quintic spline, and finite difference are presented.

Discrete Singular Convolution Method for Numerical Solutions of Fifth Order Korteweg-De Vries Equations

A new computational method for solving the fifth order Korteweg-de Vries (fKdV) equation is proposed. The nonlinear partial differential equation is discretized in space using the discrete singular convolution (DSC) scheme and an exponential time integration scheme combined with the best rational approximations based on the Carathéodory-Fejér procedure for time discretization. We check several numerical results of our approach against available analytical solutions. In addition, we computed the conservation laws of the fKdV equation. We find that the DSC approach is a very accurate, efficient and reliable method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations.

Infinite Sequence of Conservation Laws and Analytic Solutions for a Generalized Variable-Coefficient Fifth-Order Korteweg-de Vries Equation in Fluids

In this paper, an infinite sequence of conservation laws for a generalized variable-coefficient fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries equation in fluids are constructed based on the Backlund transformation. Hirota bilinear form and symbolic computation are applied to obtain three kinds of solutions. Variable coefficients can affect the conserved density, associated flux, and appearance of the characteristic lines. Effects of the wave number on the soliton structures are also discussed and types of soliton structures, e.g., the double-periodic soliton, parallel soliton and soliton complexes, are presented.

A second-order convergent and linearized difference schemefor the initial-boundary value problemof the Korteweg-de Vries equation

To numerically solve the initial-boundary value problem of the Korteweg-de Vries equation,an equivalent coupled system of nonlinear equations is obtained by the method of reduction of order.Then,a difference scheme is constructed for the system.The new variable introduced can be separated from the difference scheme to obtain another difference scheme containing only the original variable.The energy method is applied to the theoretical analysis of the difference scheme.Results show that the difference scheme is uniquely solvable and satisfies the energy conservation law corresponding to the original problem.Moreover,the difference scheme converges when the step ratio satisfies a constraint condition,and the temporal and spatial convergence orders are both two.Numerical examples verify the convergence order and the invariant of the difference scheme.Furthermore,the step ratio constraint is unnecessary for the convergence of the difference scheme.Compared with a known two-level nonlinear difference scheme,the proposed difference scheme has more advantages in numerical calculation.

Deformed two-dimensional rogue waves in the (2+1)-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries equation

Within the(2+1)-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries equation framework,new bilinear B¨acklund transformation and Lax pair are presented based on the binary Bell polynomials and gauge transformation.By introducing an arbitrary functionφ(y),a family of deformed soliton and deformed breather solutions are presented with the improved Hirota’s bilinear method.By choosing the appropriate parameters,their interesting dynamic behaviors are shown in three-dimensional plots.Furthermore,novel rational solutions are generated by taking the limit of the obtained solitons.Additionally,twodimensional(2D)rogue waves(localized in both space and time)on the soliton plane are presented,we refer to them as deformed 2D rogue waves.The obtained deformed 2D rogue waves can be viewed as a 2D analog of the Peregrine soliton on soliton plane,and its evolution process is analyzed in detail.The deformed 2D rogue wave solutions are constructed successfully,which are closely related to the arbitrary functionφ(y).This new idea is also applicable to other nonlinear systems.

By using this method and these new solutions the combined Korteweg-de Vries （KdV） and modified KdV （mKdV） equation and （2＋1）-dimensional Broer-Kaup-Kupershmidt system are investigated and abundant exact travelling wave solutions are obtained that include new solitary wave solutions and triangular periodic wave solutions.

Detection of Moving Targets Using Soliton Resonance Effect

We present a soliton resonance method for moving target detection which is based on the use of inhomogeneous Korteweg-de Vries equation. Zero initial and absorbing boundary conditions are used to obtain the solution of the equation. The solution will be soliton-like if its right part contains the information about the moving target. The induced soliton will grow in time and the soliton propagation will reflect the kinematic properties of the target. Such soliton-like solution is immune to different types of noise present in the data set, and the method allows to significantly amplify the simulated target signal. Both, general formalism and computer simulations justifying the soliton resonance method capabilities are presented. Simulations are performed for 1D and 2D target movement.

In this work, we have obtained numerical solutions of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (GKdV) equation by using septic B-spline collocation finite element method. The suggested numerical algorithm is controlled by applying test problems including;single soliton wave. Our numerical algorithm, attributed to a Crank Nicolson approximation in time, is unconditionally stable. To control the performance of the newly applied method, the error norms, L2 and L∞ and invariants I1, I2 and I3 have been calculated. Our numerical results are compared with some of those available in the literature.

A HIGH-ORDER PAD SCHEME FOR KORTEWEG-DE VRIES EQUATIONS

A high-order finite difference Pade scheme also called compact scheme for solving Korteweg-de Vries （KdV） equations, which preserve energy and mass conservations, was developed in this paper. This structure-preserving algorithm has been widely applied in these years for its advantage of maintaining the inherited properties. For spatial discretization, the authors obtained an implicit compact scheme by which spatial derivative terms may be approximated through combining a few knots. By some numerical examples including propagation of single soliton and interaction of two solitons, the scheme is proved to be effective.

NONHOMOGENEOUS BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS FOR THE KORTEWEG-DE VRIES EQUATION ON A BOUNDED DOMAIN

This paper studies an initial-boundary-value problem (IBVP) of the Korteweg-de Vriesequation posed on a finite interval with general nonhomogeneous boundary conditions.Using thestrong Kato smoothing property of the associated linear problem,the IBVP is shown to be locallywell-posed in the space H^s(0,1) for any s≥0 via the contraction mapping principle.

Soliton solution to the complex modified Korteweg–de Vries equation on both zero and nonzero background via the robust inverse scattering method

In this paper, based on the robust inverse scattering method, we construct two kinds of solutions to the focusing modified Korteweg–de Vries equation. One is the classical soliton solution under the zero background condition and the other one is given through the nonzero background.Especially, for the nonzero background case, we choose a special spectral parameter such that the nonzero background solution is changed into the rational travelling waves. Finally, we also give a simple analysis of the soliton as the time t is large, then we give the comparison between the exact solution and the asymptotic solution.

Numerical simulation of the soliton solutions for a complex modified Korteweg—de Vries equation by a finite difference method

In this paper,a Crank-Nicolson-type finite difference method is proposed for computing the soliton solutions of a complex modifed Korteweg de Vries(MKdV)equation(which is equivalent to the Sasa-Satsuma equation)with the vanishing boundary condition.It is proved that such a numerical scheme has the second order accuracy both in space and time,and conserves the mass in the discrete level.Meanwhile,the resuling scheme is shown to be unconditionally stable via the von Nuemann analysis.In addition,an iterative method and the Thomas algorithm are used together to enhance the computational efficiency.In numerical experiments,this method is used to simulate the single-soliton propagation and two-soliton collisions in the complex MKdV equation.The numerical accuracy,mass conservation and linear stability are tested to assess the scheme's performance.

Novel nonlinear wave transitions and interactions for(2+1)-dimensional generalized fifth-order Kd V equation

The(2 + 1)-dimensional generalized fifth-order Kd V(2GKd V) equation is revisited via combined physical and mathematical methods. By using the Hirota perturbation expansion technique and via setting the nonzero background wave on the multiple soliton solution of the 2GKd V equation, breather waves are constructed, for which some transformed wave conditions are considered that yield abundant novel nonlinear waves including X/Y-Shaped(XS/YS),asymmetric M-Shaped(MS), W-Shaped(WS), Space-Curved(SC) and Oscillation M-Shaped(OMS) solitons. Furthermore, distinct nonlinear wave molecules and interactional structures involving the asymmetric MS, WS, XS/YS, SC solitons, and breathers, lumps are constructed after considering the corresponding existence conditions. The dynamical properties of the nonlinear molecular waves and interactional structures are revealed via analyzing the trajectory equations along with the change of the phase shifts.

LOCAL STRUCTURE-PRESERVING ALGORITHMS FOR THE KDV EQUATION

In this paper, based on the concatenating method, we present a unified framework to construct a series of local structure-preserving algorithms for the Korteweg-de Vries （KdV） equation, including eight multi-symplectic algorithms, eight local energy-conserving algo- rithms and eight local momentum-conserving algorithms. Among these algorithms, some have been discussed and widely used while the most are new. The outstanding advantage of these proposed algorithms is that they conserve the local structures in any time-space re- gion exactly. Therefore, the local structure-preserving algorithms overcome the restriction of global structure-preserving algorithms on the boundary conditions. Numerical experiments are conducted to show the performance of the proposed methods. Moreover, the unified framework can be easily applied to many other equations.

New Finite-Volume Relaxation Methods for the Third-Order Differential Equations

We propose a new method for numerical solution of the third-order differential equations.The key idea is to use relaxation approximation to transform the nonlinear third-order differential equation to a semilinear second-order differential system with a source term and a relaxation parameter.The relaxation system has linear characteristic variables and can be numerically solved without relying on Riemann problem solvers or linear iterations.A non-oscillatory finite volume method for the relaxation system is developed.The method is uniformly accurate for all relaxation rates.Numerical results are shown for some nonlinear problems such as the Korteweg-de Vires equation.Our method demonstrated the capability of accurately capturing soliton wave phenomena.

Solitary wave solutions to higher-order traffic flow model with large diffusion

This paper uses the Taylor expansion to seek an approximate Korteweg- de Vries equation （KdV） solution to a higher-order traffic flow model with sufficiently large diffusion. It demonstrates the validity of the approximate KdV solution considering all the related parameters to ensure the physical boundedness and the stability of the solution. Moreover, when the viscosity coefficient depends on the density and velocity of the flow, the wave speed of the KdV solution is naturally related to either the first or the second characteristic field. The finite element method is extended to solve the model and examine the stability and accuracy of the approximate KdV solution.
