Similarity reductions of peakon equations: integrable cubic equations

We consider the scaling similarity solutions of two integrable cubically nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that admit peaked soliton (peakon) solutions, namely the modified Camassa–Holm (mCH) equation and Novikov’s equation. By making use of suitable reciprocal transformations, which map the mCH equation and Novikov’s equation to a negative mKdV flow and a negative Sawada–Kotera flow, respectively, we show that each of these scaling similarity reductions is related via a hodograph transformation to an equation of Painlevé type: for the mCH equation, its reduction is of second order and second degree, while for Novikov’s equation the reduction is a particular case of Painlevé V. Furthermore, we show that each of these two different Painlevé-type equations is related to the particular cases of Painlevé III that arise from analogous similarity reductions of the Camassa–Holm and the Degasperis–Procesi equation, respectively. For each of the cubically nonlinear PDEs considered, we also give explicit parametric forms of their periodic travelling wave solutions in terms of elliptic functions. We present some parametric plots of the latter, and, by using explicit algebraic solutions of Painlevé III, we do the same for some of the simplest examples of scaling similarity solutions, together with descriptions of their leading order asymptotic behaviour.

Exact traveling wave solutions to the Klein–Gordon equation using the novel (G′/G)-expansion method

The novel (G′/G)-expansion method is one of the powerful methods that appeared in recent times for establishing exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. Exact traveling wave solutions in terms of hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational functions to the cubic nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation via this method are obtained in this article. The efficiency of this method for finding exact solutions and traveling wave solutions has been demonstrated. It is shown that the novel (G′/G)-expansion method is a simple and valuable mathematical tool for solving nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) in applied mathematics, mathematical physics and engineering.

Exact solutions of a generalized Boussinesq equation

We analyze a generalized Boussinesq equation using the theory of symmetry reductions of partial differential equations. The Lie symmetry group analysis of this equation shows that the equation has only a two-parameter point symmetry group corresponding to traveling-wave solutions. To obtain exact solutions, we use two procedures: a direct method and the G′/G-expansion method. We express the traveling-wave solutions in terms of hyperbolic, trigonometric, and rational functions.

A Study for Obtaining New and More General Solutionsof Special-Type Nonlinear Equation

The generalized algebraic method with symbolic computationis extended to some special-type nonlinear equations for constructinga series of new and more general travelling wave solutions interms of special functions. Such equations cannot be directlydealt with by the method and require some kinds of pre-processingtechniques. It is shown that soliton solutions and triangularperiodic solutions can be established as the limits of the Jacobidoubly periodic wave solutions.
