The primary goal of this paper is to seek solutions to the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (CNPDEs) by the use of q-homotopy analysis transform method (q-HATM). The CNPDEs considered are the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger–Korteweg–de Vries (CNLS-KdV) and the coupled nonlinear Maccari (CNLM) systems. As a basis for explaining the interactive wave propagation of electromagnetic waves in plasma physics, Langmuir waves and dust-acoustic waves, the CNLS-KdV model has emerged as a model for defining various types of wave phenomena in mathematical physics, and so forth. The CNLM model is a nonlinear system that explains the dynamics of isolated waves, restricted in a small part of space, in several fields like nonlinear optics, hydrodynamic and plasma physics. We construct the solutions (bright soliton) of these models through q-HATM and present the numerical simulation in form of plots and tables. The solutions obtained by the suggested approach are provided in a refined converging series. The outcomes confirm that the proposed solutions procedure is highly methodological, accurate and easy to study CNPDEs.

AbstractWe have adapted the Spectral Transform Method, a technique commonly used in non-linear meteorological problems, to the numerical integration of the Robinson-Trautman equation. This approach eliminates difficulties due to the S2 × R+ topology of the equation. The method is highly accurate for smooth data and is numerically robust. Under spectral decomposition the long-time equilibrium state takes a particularly simple form: all nonlinear (l ≥ 2) modes tend to zero. We discuss the interaction and eventual decay of these higher order modes, as well as the evolution of the Bondi mass and other derived quantities. A qualitative comparison between the Spectral Transform Method and two finite difference schemes is given.
