Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Differential equations are essential to describe a real-world system as a mathematical model. Particularly, it is well-known that partial differential equations are used extensively in physics and engineering, where the problems involve functions of several variables, such as propagation of heat or sound, fluid flow, elasticity, etc.

In the last few years, a wide number of methods has been developed to find analytical solutions of partial differential equations. Currently, symmetry methods are intensively applied to solve partial differential equations obtaining exact analytic solutions.

Also, finding conservation laws or conserved quantities plays an important role in the solution of a problem.

Furthermore, there has been considerable research in Painlevé-type equations since 1980. Specifically, the Painlevé tests are remarkable in their ability to predict whether an equation is integrable.

The aim of this special issue is to show recent advances in the theory of partial differential equations and also applications to scientific problems.

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic stability derived for the two-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with multidelays on Lipschitz domain, which models the control theory of 2D fluid flow. By a new retarded Gronwall inequality and estimates of stream function for Stokes equations, the complete trajectories inside pullback attractors are asymptotically stable via the restriction on the generalized Grashof number of fluid flow. The results in this presented paper are some extension of the literature by Yang, Wang, Yan and Miranville in 2021, as well as also the preprint by Su, Yang, Miranville and Yang in 2022 Full article

In this work, a novel integrable evolution system in the sense of Lax’s scheme associated with a mixed spectral Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur (AKNS) matrix problem is first derived. Then, the time dependences of scattering data corresponding to the mixed spectral AKNS matrix problem are given in the inverse scattering analysis. Based on the given time dependences of scattering data, the reconstruction of potentials is carried out, and finally analytical solutions with four arbitrary functions of the derived integrable evolution system are formulated. This study shows that some other systems of integrable evolution equations under the resolvable framework of the inverse scattering method with mixed spectral parameters can be constructed by embedding different spectral parameters and time-varying coefficient functions to the known AKNS matrix spectral problem.

Heimburg and Jackson devised a mathematical model known as the Heimburg model to describe the transmission of electromechanical pulses in nerves, which is a significant step forward. The major objective of this paper was to examine the dynamics of the Heimburg model by extracting closed-form wave solutions. The proposed model was not studied by using analytical techniques. For the first time, innovative analytical solutions were investigated using the expφξ-expansion method to illustrate the dynamic behavior of the electromechanical pulse in a nerve. This approach generates a wide range of general and broad-spectral solutions with unknown parameters. For the definitive value of these constraints, the well-known periodic- and kink-shaped solitons were recovered. By giving different values to the parameters, the 3D, 2D, and contour forms that constantly modulate in the form of an electromechanical pulse traveling through the axon in the nerve were created. The discovered solutions are innovative, distinct, and useful and might be crucial in medicine and biosciences. Full article

In this paper, a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (gNLS) equation with time-varying coefficients is analytically studied using its Lax representation and the associated Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem equipped with a symmetric scattering matrix in the Hermitian sense. First, Lax representation and the associated RH problem of the considered gNLS equation are established so that solution of the gNLS equation can be transformed into the associated RH problem. Secondly, using the solvability of unique solution of the established RH problem, time evolution laws of the scattering data reconstructing potential of the gNLS equation are determined. Finally, based on the determined time evolution laws of scattering data, the long-time asymptotic solution and N-soliton solution of the gNLS equation are obtained. In addition, some local spatial structures of the obtained one-soliton solution and two-soliton solution are shown in the figures. This paper shows that the RH method can be extended to nonlinear evolution models with variable coefficients, and the curve propagation of the obtained N-soliton solution in inhomogeneous media is controlled by the selection of variable–coefficient functions contained in the models.

In this paper, the Painlevé integrable property of the (1 + 1)-dimensional generalized Broer–Kaup (gBK) equations is first proven. Then, the Bäcklund transformations for the gBK equations are derived by using the Painlevé truncation. Based on a special case of the derived Bäcklund transformations, the gBK equations are linearized into the heat conduction equation. Inspired by the derived Bäcklund transformations, the gBK equations are reduced into the Burgers equation. Starting from the linear heat conduction equation, two forms of N-soliton solutions and rational solutions with a singularity condition of the gBK equations are constructed. In addition, the rational solutions with two singularity conditions of the gBK equation are obtained by considering the non-uniqueness and generality of a resonance function embedded into the Painlevé test. In order to understand the nonlinear dynamic evolution dominated by the gBK equations, some of the obtained exact solutions, including one-soliton solutions, two-soliton solutions, three-soliton solutions, and two pairs of rational solutions, are shown by three-dimensional images. This paper shows that when the Painlevé test deals with the coupled nonlinear equations, the highest negative power of the coupled variables should be comprehensively considered in the leading term analysis rather than the formal balance between the highest-order derivative term and the highest-order nonlinear term.

The paper deals with a nonlinear second-order one-dimensional evolutionary equation related to applications and describes various diffusion, filtration, convection, and other processes. The particular cases of this equation are the well-known porous medium equation and its generalizations. We construct solutions that describe perturbations propagating over a zero background with a finite velocity. Such effects are known to be atypical for parabolic equations and appear as a consequence of the degeneration of the equation at the points where the desired function vanishes. Previously, we have constructed it, but here the case of power nonlinearity is considered. It allows for conducting a more detailed analysis. We prove a new theorem for the existence of solutions of this type in the class of piecewise analytical functions, which generalizes and specifies the earlier statements. We find and study exact solutions having the diffusion wave type, the construction of which is reduced to the second-order Cauchy problem for an ordinary differential equation (ODE) that inherits singularities from the original formulation. Statements that ensure the existence of global continuously differentiable solutions are proved for the Cauchy problems. The properties of the constructed solutions are studied by the methods of the qualitative theory of differential equations. Phase portraits are obtained, and quantitative estimates are determined by constructing and analyzing finite difference schemes. The most significant result is that we have shown that all the special cases for incomplete equations take place for the complete equation, and other configurations of diffusion waves do not arise.

The aim of this article is to investigate the effect of mass and heat transfer on unsteady squeeze flow of viscous fluid under the influence of variable magnetic field. The flow is observed in a rotating channel. The unsteady equations of mass and momentum conservation are coupled with the variable magnetic field and energy equations. By using some appropriate similarity transformations, the partial differential equations obtained are then converted into a system of ordinary differential equations and are solved by Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The influence of the natural parameters are investigated for the velocity field components, magnetic field components, heat and mass transfer. A direct effect of the squeeze Reynold number is observed on both concentration and temperature. Moreover, increasing the magnetic Reynold number shows an increase in the fluid temperature, but in the case of concentration, an inverse relation is observed. Furthermore, a decreasing effect of the Dufour number is observed on both concentration and temperature distribution. Besides, in case of the Soret number, a direct effect is observed on concentration, but an inverse effect can be seen on temperature distribution. Different effects are shown through graphs in this study and an error analysis is also presented through tables and graphs. Full article

This paper studies a non-linear viscoelastic wave equation, with non-linear damping and source terms, from the point of view of the Lie groups theory. Firstly, we apply Lie’s symmetries method to the partial differential equation to classify the Lie point symmetries. Afterwards, we reduce the partial differential equation to some ordinary differential equations, by using the symmetries. Therefore, new analytical solutions are found from the ordinary differential equations. Finally, we derive low-order conservation laws, depending on the form of the damping and source terms, and discuss their physical meaning. Full article

The price V of a contingent claim in finance, insurance and economics is defined as an expectation of a stochastic expression. If the underlying uncertainty is modeled as a strong Markov process X, the Feynman–Kac theorem suggests that V is the unique solution of a boundary problem for a parabolic equation. In the case of PDO with constant symbols, simple probabilistic tools explained in this paper can be used to explicitly calculate expectations under very weak conditions on the process and study the regularity of the solution. Assuming that the Feynman–Kac theorem holds, and a more general boundary problem can be localized, the local results can be used to study the existence and regularity of solutions, and derive efficient numerical methods. In the paper, difficulties for the realization of this program are analyzed, several outstanding problems are listed, and several closely efficient methods are outlined. Full article
