Propagation and Pinning of Travelling Wave for Nagumo Type Equation

In this paper, we study the propagation and its failure to propagate (pinning) of a travelling wave in a Nagumo type equation, an equation that describes impulse propagation in nerve axons that also models population growth with Allee effect. An analytical solution is derived for the traveling wave and the work is extended to a discrete formulation with a piecewise linear reaction function. We propose an operator splitting numerical scheme to solve the equation and demonstrate that the wave either propagates or gets pinned based on how the spatial mesh is chosen.

Study on Atmospheric Travelling Wave Solutions and Review of Its Present Developments

The scientific achievements of travelling waves in a barotropic atmosphere are introduced, including i) the existence conditions of periodic solutions (wavetrain solutions) and solitary wave solutions (pulse solutions), together with the solution finding methods and a series of related problems, ii) seeking solutions of monotonous wave (wave front) and of nonmonotonous travelling wave (oscillatory wave) by using phase plane shooting technique and hi) progress in the study of travelling wave solution at home and abroad. The investigation of travelling wave solutions in recent years has been found in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other sciences. Over the past decade the problem has been the subject of much interest and become an important area of research.

Speed Control of Travelling Wave Type Ultrasonic Motors Using Artificial Neural Network

Ultrasonic motor (USM) is a newly developed motor, and it has some excellent performances and useful features, therefore, it has been expected to be of practical use. However, the driving principle of USM is different from that of other electromagnetic type motors, and the mathematical model is complex to apply to motor control. Furthermore, the speed characteristics of the motor have heavy nonlinearity and vary with driving conditions. Hence, the precise speed control of USM is generally difficult. This paper proposes a new speed control scheme for USM using an artificial neural network. An accurate tracking response can be obtained by random initialization of the weights of the network owing to the powerful on line learning capability. Two prototype ultrasonic motors of travelling wave type were fabricated, both having 100 mm outer diameters of stator and piezoelectric ceramic. The usefulness and validity of the proposed control scheme are examined in experiments.

THE SMOOTH AND NONSMOOTH TRAVELLING WAVESOLUTIONS IN A NONLINEAR WAVE EQUATION

The travelling wave solutions (TWS) in a class of P. D. E. is studied. The travelling wave equation of this P. D. E. is a planar cubic polynomial system in three-parameter space. The study for M became the topological classifications of bifurcations of phase portraits defined by the planar system. B using the theory of planar dynamical systems to do qualitative analysis, all topological classifications of the cubic polynomial system can be obtained. Returning the results of the phase plane analysis to TWS, u(xi), and considering discontinuity of the right side of the equation of TWS when xi = x - ct is varied along a phase orbit and passing through a singular curve, all conditions of existence of smooth and nonsmooth travelling waves are given.

Under the travelling wave transformation, the Camassa-Holm equation with dispersion is reduced to an integrable ordinary differential equation （ODE）, whose general solution can be obtained using the trick of one-parameter group. Furthermore, by using a complete discrimination system for polynomial, the classification of all single travelling wave solutions to the Camassa-Holm equation with dispersion is obtained. In particular, an affine subspace structure in the set of the solutions of the reduced ODE is obtained. More generally, an implicit linear structure in the Camassa-Holm equation with dispersion is found. According to the linear structure, we obtain the superposition of multi-solutions to Camassa-Holm equation with dispersion.

Solution of ODE u″+p(u)(u′)2+q(u)=0 and Applications to Classifications of All Single Travelling Wave Solutions to Some Nonlinear Mathematical Physics Equations

Under the travelling wave transformation, some nonlinear partial differential equations such as Camassa-Holm equation, High-order KdV equation, etc., are reduced to an integrable ODE expressed by u＂ ＋p（u）（u＇）^2 ＋ q（u） = 0 whose generai solution can be given. Furthermore, combining complete discrimination system for polynomiai, the classifications of all single travelling wave solutions to these equations are obtained. The equation u＂＋p（u）（u＇）^2＋q（u） = 0 includes the equation （u＇）^2 = f（u） as a special case, so the proposed method can be also applied to a large number of nonlinear equations. These complete results cannot be obtained by any indirect method.

Travelling Wave Solutions to a Special Type of Nonlinear Evolution Equation

A unified approach is presented for finding the travelling wave solutions to one kind of nonlinear evolution equation by introducing a concept of 'rank'. The key idea of this method is to make use of the arbitrariness of the manifold in Painlevé analysis. We selected a new expansion variable and thus obtained a rich variety of travelling wave solutions to nonlinear evolution equation, which covered solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions, Weierstrass elliptic function solutions, and rational solutions. Three illustrative equations are investigated by this means, and abundant travelling wave solutions are obtained in a systematic way. In addition, some new solutions are firstly reported here.
