Data-driven solutions and parameter estimations of a family of higher-order KdV equations based on physics informed neural networks

Physics informed neural network (PINN) demonstrates powerful capabilities in solving forward and inverse problems of nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) through combining data-driven and physical constraints. In this paper, two PINN methods that adopt tanh and sine as activation functions, respectively, are used to study data-driven solutions and parameter estimations of a family of high order KdV equations. Compared to the standard PINN with the tanh activation function, the PINN framework using the sine activation function can effectively learn the single soliton solution, double soliton solution, periodic traveling wave solution, and kink solution of the proposed equations with higher precision. The PINN framework using the sine activation function shows better performance in parameter estimation. In addition, the experiments show that the complexity of the equation influences the accuracy and efficiency of the PINN method. The outcomes of this study are poised to enhance the application of deep learning techniques in solving solutions and modeling of higher-order NLPDEs.

Boundary excitation of nonlinearly modulated bending strain waves in a metamaterial

A non-linear modulation of bending waves in a metamaterial mass-in-mass lattice model is studied. Various kinds of non-linear wave modulation are obtained using a harmonic boundary excitation. It is shown, that these waves can be described by an asymptotic simplification of the equations of motion resulting in a non-linear modulation equation for the displacements. Exact periodic traveling wave solutions to the equation demonstrate a dependence on the sign of the equation coefficients or the elastic parameters of the original model. Dispersion relation for the carrier part of the solution is obtained as a function of wave number versus frequency, it is found how its solutions relate to the acoustic and optic branches and the band gap. This form of the dispersion relation is further used for a description of numerical results on the wave modulation by a harmonic boundary excitation.

The spatial Whitham equation

The Whitham equation is a non-local, nonlinear partial differential equation that models the temporal evolution of spatial profiles of surface displacement of water waves. However, many laboratory and field measurements record time series at fixed spatial locations. To directly model data of this type, it is desirable to have equations that model the spatial evolution of time series. The spatial Whitham (sWhitham) equation, proposed as the spatial generalization of the Whitham equation, fills this need. In this paper, we study this equation and apply it to water-wave experiments on shallow and deep water. We compute periodic travelling-wave solutions to the sWhitham equation and examine their properties, including their stability. Results for small-amplitude solutions align with known results for the Whitham equation. This suggests that the systems are consistent in the weakly nonlinear regime. At larger amplitudes, there are some discrepancies. Notably, the sWhitham equation does not appear to admit cusped solutions of maximal wave height. In the second part, we compare predictions from the temporal and spatial Korteweg–de Vries and Whitham equations with measurements from laboratory experiments. We show that the sWhitham equation accurately models measurements of tsunami-like waves of depression, waves of elevation, and solitary waves on shallow water. Its predictions also compare favourably with experimental measurements of waves of depression and elevation on deep water. Accuracy is increased by adding a phenomenological damping term. Finally, we show that neither the sWhitham nor the temporal Whitham equation accurately models the evolution of wave packets on deep water.

A venting resonator emitting monochromatic periodic traveling waves in dispersive media

Dynamically stable traveling periodic waves are notoriously difficult to realize experimentally. Manifestations of such waves inherently become unstable in any dispersive medium, whether it be at continuum length scales in fluid mechanics, in electrodynamics, or in nonlinear optics. Here, a simple experimental system is proposed where Stokes waves are emitted from a resonator whose cavity accommodates standing waves of same wavelength that is emitted out. A single characteristic wavelength is found for each driving frequency despite the coexistence of standing and traveling waves, external noise, and potentially parasitic reflections. The system's response is shown to be reliable at very small values of quality factor. A unique utility of this model system is suggested in that such a venting resonator can be used as an inhibitor of modulation instability in dispersive medium where an engineering application demands stable periodic traveling waves. Some parallels are drawn with other unbounded resonators found in society, whereby their leakiness is central to their application, such as the role of air-filled cavity to achieve impedance matching in stringed musical instruments, or energy harvesting from oscillating fluid columns in nature.

Spatiotemporal resonance in mouse primary visual cortex

Human primary visual cortex (V1) responds more strongly, or resonates, when exposed to ∼10, ∼15-20, and ∼40-50Hz rhythmic flickering light. Full-field flicker also evokes the perception of hallucinatory geometric patterns, which mathematical models explain as standing-wave formations emerging from periodic forcing at resonant frequencies of the simulated neural network. However, empirical evidence for such flicker-induced standing waves in the visual cortex was missing. We recorded cortical responses to flicker in awake mice using high-spatial-resolution widefield imaging in combination with high-temporal-resolution glutamate-sensing fluorescent reporter (iGluSnFR). The temporal frequency tuningcurves in the mouse V1 were similar to those observed in humans, showing a banded structure with multiple resonance peaks (8, 15, and 33Hz). Spatially, all flicker frequencies evoked responses inV1 corresponding to retinotopic stimulus location, but some evoked additional peaks. These flicker-induced cortical patterns displayed standing-wave characteristics and matched linear wave equationsolutions in an area restricted to the visual cortex. Taken together, the interaction of periodic traveling waves with cortical area boundaries leads to spatiotemporal activity patterns that may affect perception.

Periodic traveling waves of a SIR model with renewal and delay in one-dimensional lattice

This paper is primarily addressed to the (non)existence and asymptotic behaviors of periodic traveling waves for a SIR model with renewal and delay in one-dimensional lattice, which generalizes the conclusions of SIR models in one-dimensional continuous space. Especially, the challenge of establishing the asymptotic behaviors of periodic traveling waves when periodicity arises is solved by integral and analytic techniques. Moreover, the spreading speed is equal to the minimal wave speed can be obtained by our results.

Time periodic traveling wave solutions of a time-periodic reaction–diffusion SEIR epidemic model with periodic recruitment

This paper focuses on the existence and nonexistence of a time periodic traveling wave solution of a time-periodic reaction–diffusion SEIR epidemic model. The main feature of the model is the possible deficiency of the classical comparison principle such that many known results do not directly work. If the basic reproduction number of the model, denoted by R0, is larger than one, there exists a minimal wave speed c∗>0 satisfying for each c>c∗, the system admits a nontrivial time periodic traveling wave solution with wave speed c and for c<c∗, there exists no nontrivial time periodic traveling waves such that the system; if R0<1, the system admits no nontrivial time periodic traveling waves.

Exact Periodic Wave Solutions for the Perturbed Boussinesq Equation with Power Law Nonlinearity

In this paper, exact periodic wave solutions for the perturbed Boussinesq equation with power law nonlinearity are obtained for different nonlinear strengths n. When n=1, the periodic traveling wave solutions can be found by the definition of the Jacobian elliptic function. When n≥1, we construct a transformation to solve for the power law nonlinearity, and the periodic traveling wave solutions can be obtained by applying the extended trial equation method. In addition, we consider the limiting case where the periodicity of the periodic traveling wave solutions vanishes, and we obtain the soliton solution for n=1. Numerical simulations show the periodicity of the solution for the perturbed Boussinesq equation.

The article is devoted to discrete Klein-Gordon type equations that describe infinite chains of nonlinear oscillators with nonlocal interactions. This implies that each oscillator interacts with several of its neighbors on both sides. The main result of the article concerns the existence of periodic traveling waves in such equations. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such waves were established using the variational method and the mountain pass theorem.

Instability of periodic waves for the Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation with monostable source

In this paper, it is proved that the KdV–Burgers equation with a monostable source term of Fisher–KPP type has small-amplitude periodic traveling wave solutions with finite fundamental period. These solutions emerge from a subcritical local Hopf bifurcation around a critical value of the wave speed. Moreover, it is shown that these periodic waves are spectrally unstable as solutions to the PDE, that is, the Floquet (continuous) spectrum of the linearization around each periodic wave intersects the unstable half plane of complex values with positive real part. To that end, classical perturbation theory for linear operators is applied in order to prove that the spectrum of the linearized operator around the wave can be approximated by that of a constant coefficient operator around the zero solution, which intersects the unstable complex half plane.

Linear asymptotic stability of small-amplitude periodic waves of the generalized Korteweg–de Vries equations

We extend the detailed study of the linearized dynamics obtained for cnoidal waves of the Korteweg–de Vries equation by Rodrigues [J. Funct. Anal. 274 (2018), pp. 2553–2605] to small-amplitude periodic traveling waves of the generalized Korteweg–de Vries equations that are not subject to Benjamin–Feir instability. With the adapted notion of stability, this provides for such waves, global-in-time bounded stability in any Sobolev space, and asymptotic stability of dispersive type. When doing so, we actually prove that such results also hold for waves of arbitrary amplitude satisfying a form of spectral stability designated here as dispersive spectral stability.

Spectral stability of periodic traveling wave solutions for a double dispersion equation

ABSTRACT In this article, we investigate the spectral stability of periodic traveling waves for a cubic-quintic and double dispersion equation. Using the quadrature method, we find explict periodic waves and we also present a characterization for all positive and periodic solutions for the model using the monotonicity of the period map in terms of the energy levels. The monotonicity of the period map is also useful to obtain the quantity and multiplicity of non-positive eigenvalues for the associated linearized operator and to do so, we use tools of the Floquet theory. Finally, we prove the spectral stability by analyzing the difference between the number of negative eigenvalues of a convenient linear operator restricted to the space constituted by zero-mean periodic functions and the number of negative eigenvalues of the matrix formed by the tangent space associated to the low order conserved quantities of the evolution model.

Soliton solutions to a nonlinear wave equation via modern methods

AbstractIn this pioneering study, we have systematically derived traveling wave solutions for the highly intricate Zoomeron equation, employing well-established mathematical frameworks, notably the modified (G′/G)-expansion technique. Twenty distinct mathematical solutions have been revealed, each distinguished by distinguishable characteristics in the domains of hyperbolic, trigonometric, and irrational expressions. Furthermore, we have used the formidable computational capabilities of Maple software to construct depictions of these solutions, both in two-dimensional and three-dimensional visualizations. The visual representations vividly capture the essence of our findings, showcasing a diverse spectrum of wave profiles, including the kink-type shape, soliton solutions, bell-shaped waveforms, and periodic traveling wave profiles, all of which are clarified with careful precision.

Solitary wave solutions for the (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear Kakutani–Matsuuchi model of internal gravity waves

The Kakutani–Matsuuchi (KM) equation provides a mathematical framework for studying the dynamics of extended nonlinear internal gravity waves in a stratified fluid medium, including important phenomena such as solitary wave propagation. This study explores various analytical and semi-analytical methods to obtain accurate solutions for the (1＋1)-dimensional KM model.The primary objective of this research is to derive new solitary wave and periodic wave solutions, and subsequently validate these analytical techniques by comparing them with solutions obtained through the Adomian decomposition method. The KM model governs the dynamics of nonlinear waves and exhibits significant connections with other nonlinear equations, notably the (KdV) equation. The analytical methods, particularly the Khater II and auxiliary equation sub-equation methods, lead to closed-form solutions by reducing the partial differential equation to a system of ordinary differential equations. Conversely, the Adomian method provides a semi-analytical solution expressed as an infinite series.Solitary and periodic traveling wave solutions are systematically derived using the aforementioned analytical techniques. To verify their accuracy, solutions obtained through Adomian decomposition are computed recursively and compared. The results highlight the effectiveness of the analytical methods in discovering new exact solutions, thereby enhancing our understanding of the physical phenomena described by the KM equation. These solutions contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the properties and behaviors of internal waves, thereby enriching our overall knowledge in this field. Consequently, this research further develops analytical solution techniques tailored for nonlinear wave models prevalent in fluid dynamics.

Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction in the study of bifurcation of periodic travelling wave solutions of a perturbed (1 + 1)−dimensional dispersive long wave equation

In this paper, the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction is used to investigate the bifurcation of periodic travelling wave solutions of a perturbed (1+1)−dimensional dispersive long wave equation. We demonstrate that the bifurcation equation corresponding to the original problem is supplied by a nonlinear system of two cubic algebraic equations. As the bifurcation parameters change, this system has only one, three, or five regular real solutions. The linear approximation of the solutions to the main problem has been discovered.

Orbital stability of periodic traveling waves in the [formula omitted]-Camassa–Holm equation

In this paper, we identify criteria that guarantees the nonlinear orbital stability of a given periodic traveling wave solution within the b-family Camassa–Holm equation. These periodic waves exist as 3-parameter families (up to spatial translations) of smooth traveling wave solutions, and their stability criteria are expressed in terms of Jacobians of the conserved quantities with respect to these parameters. The stability criteria utilizes a general Hamiltonian structure which exists for every b>1, and hence applies outside of the completely integrable cases (b=2 and b=3).
