This work concerns how to find the double periodic form of approximate solutions of the perturbed combined KdV (CKdV) equation with variable coefficients by using the homotopic mapping method. The obtained solutions may degenerate into the approximate solutions of hyperbolic function form and the approximate solutions of trigonometric function form in the limit cases. Moreover, the first order approximate solutions and the second order approximate solutions of the variable coefficients CKdV equation in perturbationεunare also induced.

The homotopy analysis method is applied to solve the variable coefficient KdV-Burgers equation. With the aid of generalized elliptic method and Fourier’s transform method, the approximate solutions of double periodic form are obtained. These solutions may be degenerated into the approximate solutions of hyperbolic function form and the approximate solutions of trigonometric function form in the limit cases. The results indicate that this method is efficient for the nonlinear models with the dissipative terms and variable coefficients.

Two approximate methods are presented for making radiant heat-transfer computations from gray, isothermal dispersions which absorb, emit, and scatter isotropically. The integrodifferential equation of radiant transfer is solved using moment techniques to obtain a first-order solution. A second-order solution is found by iteration. The approximate solutions are compared to exact solutions found in the literature of astrophysics for the case of a plane-parallel geometry. The exact and approximate solutions are both expressed in terms of directional and hemispherical emissivities at a boundary. The comparison for a slab, which is neither optically thin nor thick (τ = 1), indicates that the second-order solution is accurate to within 10 percent for both directional and hemispherical properties. These results suggest that relatively simple techniques may be used to make design computations for more complex geometries and boundary conditions.

The determination of the shape of a rotating disk under centrifugal loading is considered. It is shown that the governing differential equation for the shape of a rotating thin disk is reducible to a linear equation of second order with variable coefficients. However, the form of this equation is such that it can be treated as an equation of first order thereby facilitating the integration by quadratures. All this is possible without any additional mathematical assumptions so that the results are exact within the limitations of the thin disk theory.

The spectral collocation approximations based on Legendre polynomials are used to compute the numerical solution of time-dependent Fisher’s type problems. The spatial derivatives are collocated at a Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto interpolation nodes. The proposed method has the advantage of reducing the problem to a system of ordinary differential equations in time. The four-stage A-stable implicit Runge-Kutta scheme is applied to solve the resulted system of first order in time. Numerical results show that the Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto collocation method is of high accuracy and is efficient for solving the Fisher’s type equations. Also the results demonstrate that the proposed method is powerful algorithm for solving the nonlinear partial differential equations.

The paper considers the issues of constructive analysis of the de la Vallee – Poussin boundary-value problem for the second-order linear matrix differential Lyapunov equation with a parameter and variable coefficients. The initial problem is reduced to an equivalent integral problem, and to study its solvability a modification of the generalized contraction mapping principle is used. A connection between the approach used and the Green’s function method is established. The coefficient sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of this problem are obtained. Using the Lyapunov – Poincaré small parameter method, an algorithm for constructing a solution has been developed. The convergence and the rate of convergence of this algorithm have been investigated, and a constructive estimation of the region of solution localization is given. To illustrate the application of the results obtained, the linear problem of steady heat conduction for a cylindrical wall, as well as a two-dimensional matrix model problem is considered. With the help of the developed general algorithm, analytical approximate solutions of these problems have been constructed and on the basis of their exact solutions a comparative numerical analysis has been carried out.

The aim of this paper is to give a collocation method to solve second-order partial differential equations with variable coefficients under Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions. By using the Bessel functions of the first kind, the matrix operations and the collocation points, the method is constructed and it transforms the partial differential equation problem into a system of algebraic equations. The unknown coefficients of the assuming solution are determined by solving this system. The algorithm of the proposed method is presented. Also, error estimation technique is introduced and the approximate solutions are improved by means of it. To show the validity and applicability of the presented method, we solve numerical examples and give the comparison of solutions and comparisons of the errors (actual and estimation).

We have been interested in studying a nonlinear variational wave equation whose wave speed is a sinusoidal function of the wave amplitude, arising naturally from liquid crystals. High-frequency waves of small amplitudes, the so-called weakly nonlinear waves, near a constant state a are governed by two asymptotic equations: the first-order asymptotic equation if a is not a critical point of the sinusoidal function, or the second-order asymptotic equation if a is either a maximal or a minimal point of the sinusoidal function. Our earlier work on the first-order asymptotic equation has greatly helped the study of the nonlinear variational wave equation with monotone wave speed functions. It is apparent in our research that investigation of the second-order asymptotic equation is both crucial and equally illuminating for the study of the nonlinear variational wave equation with sinusoidal wave speed functions. We succeed in this paper in handling what may be appropriately called the ‘concentration-annihilation’ phenomena in the historical spirit of compensated-compactness (Tartar et al.), concentration-compactness (Lions), and concentration-cancellation or concentration-evanesces (DiPerna and Majda). More precisely, the second-order asymptotic equation has a product term uv2 for which v2 may have concentration on a set where u vanishes in a sequence of approximate solutions, while the product retains no concentration. Although absent in the first-order asymptotic equation, this concentration-annihilation phenomenon has been demonstrated through an explicit example for the nonlinear variational wave equation with sinusoidal wave speed functions in an earlier work. We use this concentration-annihilation to establish the global existence of weak solutions to the second-order asymptotic equation with initial data of bounded total variations.

Curves of constant width, which have a very special place in many fields such as kinematics, engineering, art, cam design and geometry, are specially discussed under this title. In this study, a system of differential equations characterizing the curves of constant width is examined. This is the system of the first order homogenous differential equations with variable coefficients in the normal form. Approximate solutions of the system, by means of two different polynomial approaches, are calculated and error analysis is made. The obtained results are analyzed on a numerical sample and the best method of approach is determined. This system can also constitute a characterization for different types of curves according to different frames in different spaces. Therefore, this study is important not only for this curve type but also for the geometry of all curves that can be expressed in a similar system.
