This paper presents a methodology for generating solutions of non linear partial differential equations through Bezier functions. These functions define corresponding Bezier surfaces using a bipolynomial Bernstein basis function. The solution, or essentially the coefficients, is identified through design optimization. The set up is direct, elegantly simple, and involves minimizing the error in the residuals of the differential equations over the domain. No domain discretization is necessary. The procedure is not problem dependent and is adaptive through the selection of the order of the Bezier functions. Two examples: (1) the laminar flow over a flat plate; and (2) displacement of an ionic polymer-metal composite membrane are solved. Alternate solution to these problems is referenced in the paper.

Solutions in basic polynomial form are obtained for linear partial differential equations through the use of Bezier functions. The procedure is a direct extension of a similar technique employed for nonlinear boundary value problems defined by systems of ordinary differential equations. The Bezier functions define Bezier surfaces that are generated using a bipolynomial Bernstein basis function. The solution is identified through a standard design optimization technique. The set up is direct and involves minimizing the error in the residuals of the differential equations over the domain. No domain discretization is necessary. The procedure is not problem dependent and is adaptive through the selection of the order of the Bezier functions. Three examples: (1) the Poisson equation; (2) the one dimensional heat equation; and (3) the slender two-dimensional cantilever beam are solved. The Bezier solutions compare excellently with the analytical solutions.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to extend results from [A. Cañada, J. A. Montero and S. Villegas, Lyapunov inequalities for partial differential equations, J. Funct. Anal. 237 (2006), 1, 176–193] about Lyapunov-type inequalities for linear partial differential equations to nonlinear partial differential equations with 𝑝-Laplacian with zero Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions.

In this survey, viewed integral transformation (IT) combined with Adomian decomposition method (ADM) as ZMA- transform (ZMAT) coupled with (ADM) in which said ZMA decomposition method has been utilized to solve nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDE's).This work is very useful for finding the exact solution of (NPDE's) and this result is more accurate obtained with compared the exact solution obtained in the literature.

A theoretical estimate of dynamic characteristics in terms of stiffness and damping of an externally pressurized gas-lubricated porous journal under tilting mode of vibration is made. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations in the porous medium and in the bearing clearance are linearized using a first-order perturbation analysis. The tilt stiffness and damping are then determined from the solution of the resulting linear partial differential equations numerically. The effect of feeding parameter, supply pressure, porosity parameter, L/D ratio and eccentricity ratio on these two above characteristics is shown.

Given an equation of the form z = ϕ ( x 1 , x 2 , . . . x n+r , a 1 , a 2 ,... a r , a + r + 1 ), we obtain by differentiation with respect to each of the n + r variables n + r equations, together with the original equation n + r + 1 equations, from which, eliminating the r + 1 constants, we have a system of n nonlinear partial differential equations. Conversely, given a system of n non-linear partial differential equations with n + r independent variables, if there exists an equation


Exact, particular solutions of the double sine Gordon equation in n dimensional space are constructed. Under certain restrictions these solutions are N solitons, where N ≤ 2 q — 1 and q is the dimensionality of spacetime. The method of solution, known as the base equation technique, relates solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations to solutions of linear partial differential equations. This method is reviewed and its applicability to the double sine Gordon equation shown explicitly. The N soliton solutions have the remarkable property that they collapse to a single soliton when the wave vectors are parallel.

The work presented introduces correlation moment analysis. This technique can be employed to explore the growth of determinism from stochastic initial conditions in physical systems described by non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) and is also applicable to wholly deterministic situations. Correlation moment analysis allows the analytic determination of the time dependence of the spatial moments of the solutions of certain types of non-linear partial differential equations. These moments provide measures of the growth of processes defined by the PDE, furthermore the results are obtained without requiring explicit solution of the PDE. The development is presented via case studies of the linear diffusion equation and the non-linear Kortweg de-Vries equation which indicate strategies for exploiting the various properties of correlation moments developed in the text. In addition, a variety of results have been developed which show how various classes of terms in PDEs affect the structure of a sequence of correlation moment equations. This allows results to be obtained about the behavior of the PDE solution, in particular how the presence of certain types of terms affects integral measures of the solution. It is also demonstrated that correlation moments provide a very simple, natural approach to determining certain subsets of conserved quantities associated with the PDEs.
