Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is well-known that most nonlinear partial differential equations do not have a general solution in closed form. However, by using symmetry reductions we can construct their special exact solutions, which can reflect the properties or long time behaviors of the nonlinear partial differential systems. In other words, symmetry is especially useful in the analysis of some particular cases of complex systems.

Similarly, it is often possible to write down some special exact solutions explicitly in terms of elementary functions, and those elementary functions often appear in a highly symmetric form.

In this Special Issue, we are expecting theoretical or numerical analyses of some special solutions with symmetry assumptions of some nonlinear partial differential systems, such as those arising in fluid mechanics (original or special cases of the Navier–Stokes equations, Euler equations, Euler–Poisson equations, etc.), general relativity (original or special cases of the Einstein field equations, etc.), and other nontrivial and nonlinear partial differential equations.

Submit your paper and select the Journal “Symmetry” and the Special Issue “Exact Solutions with Symmetry Reduction and Long Time Behaviors of Non-linear Partial Differential Equations” via: MDPI submission system.

Population balance equations may be employed to handle a wide variety of particle processes has certainly received unprecedented attention, but the absence of explicit exact solutions necessitates the use of numerical approaches. In this paper, a (2 + 1) dimensional population balance equation with aggregation, nucleation, growth and breakage processes is solved analytically by use of the methods of scaling transformation group, observation and trial function. Symmetries, reduced equations, invariant solutions, exact solutions, existence of solutions, evolution analysis of dynamic behavior for solutions are presented. The exact solutions obtained can be compared with the numerical scheme. The obtained results also show that the method of scaling transformation group can be applied to study integro-partial differential equations. Full article

The main goal of this research is to present a new approach to double transforms called the double Laplace–ARA transform (DL-ARAT). This new double transform is a novel combination of Laplace and ARA transforms. We present the basic properties of the new approach including existence, linearity and some results related to partial derivatives and the double convolution theorem. To obtain exact solutions, the new double transform is applied to several partial differential equations such as the Klein–Gordon equation, heat equation, wave equation and telegraph equation; each of these equations has great utility in physical applications. In symmetry to other symmetric transforms, we conclude that our new approach is simpler and needs less calculations. Full article

By means of power series, we obtain the two kinds of exact power series solutions. By invoking a new conservation theorem of Ibragimov, the conservation laws are constructed. Full article

The Cauchy problems of scale-invariant damped wave equations with derivative nonlinear terms and with combined nonlinear terms are studied. A new method is provided to show that the solutions will blow up in a finite time, if the nonlinear powers satisfy some conditions. The method is based on constructing appropriate test functions, by using the solution of an ordinary differential equation. It may be useful to prove the nonexistence for global solutions for other nonlinear evolution equations. Full article

This paper investigates a relativistic Toda lattice system with an arbitrary parameter that is a very remarkable generalization of the usual Toda lattice system, which may describe the motions of particles in lattices. Firstly, we study some integrable properties for this system such as Hamiltonian structures, Liouville integrability and conservation laws. Secondly, we construct a discrete generalized (m,2Nm)-fold Darboux transformation based on its known Lax pair. Thirdly, we obtain some exact solutions including soliton, rational and semi-rational solutions with arbitrary controllable parameters and hybrid solutions by using the resulting Darboux transformation. Finally, in order to understand the properties of such solutions, we investigate the limit states of the diverse exact solutions by using graphic and asymptotic analysis. In particular, we discuss the asymptotic states of rational solutions and exponential-and-rational hybrid solutions graphically for the first time, which might be useful for understanding the motions of particles in lattices. Numerical simulations are used to discuss the dynamics of some soliton solutions. The results and properties provided in this paper may enrich the understanding of nonlinear lattice dynamics.
