Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nonlinear partial differential equations arise in a wide variety of physical problems and areas such as engineering dynamics, fluid dynamics, plasma physics, solid mechanics and quantum field theory.

This Special Issue invites researchers belonging to a wide variety of fields to contribute high-quality and original research articles, as well as review articles. Topics should include discussions of nonlinear dynamics and the analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations. Specifically, submissions should discuss Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations, reaction–diffusion equations, nonlinear pseudo parabolic and hyperbolic equations, Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid equations, magneto-hydrodynamic equations, nonlinear heat equations,  Navier–Stokes equations, Boussinesq approximations equations, biological fluid dynamics, symmetric and axisymmetric flows, theory of partial differential equations, and numerical methods of partial differential equations.

This paper studies a perturbative approach for the double sine–Gordon equation. Following this path, we are able to obtain a system of differential equations that shows the amplitude and phase modulation of the approximate solution. In the case λ = 0, we get the well-known perturbation theory for the sine–Gordon equation. For a special value λ = −1/8, we derive a phase-locked solution with the same frequency of the linear case. In general, we obtain both coherent (solitary waves, lumps and so on) solutions as well as fractal solutions. Using symmetry considerations, we can demonstrate the existence of envelope wobbling solitary waves, due to the critical observation the phase modulation depending on the solution amplitude and on the position. Because the double sine–Gordon equation has a very rich behavior, including wobbling chaotic and fractal solutions due to an arbitrary function in its solution, the main conclusion is that it is too reductive to focus only on coherent solutions.

Using the Asymptotic Perturbation (AP) method we can find approximate solutions for the Maccari equation with a parametric resonant forcing acting over the frequency of a generic mode. Taking into account its nonlocal behavior and applying symmetry considerations, a system with two coupled equations for the phase and amplitude modulation can be obtained. The system can be solved, and we demonstrate the existence of a big modulation in the wave amplitude, producing a rogue waves train and, in this case, these waves are not isolated. We then obtain a rogue waves generator, being able of producing and controlling the rogue waves’ amplitude. Another important finding is the existence of chaotic or fractal solutions, because of the presence of an arbitrary function in the solution. Full article

The nonlocal Hirota–Maccari equation is considered when a parametric excitation is acting over the frequency of a generic mode. Using the well-known asymptotic perturbation (AP) method, two coupled equations for the amplitude and phase can be obtained. We discovered the existence of an infinite-period bifurcation when the parametric force increases its value. Moreover, symmetry considerations suggest performing a global analysis of the two couples, in such a way that we find an energy-like function and corroborate and verify the existence of this infinite period bifurcation.
