Travelling Wave Solutions in Nonlinear Diffusive and Dispersive Media

arXivsolv-int/9804017MaRDI QIDQ6511280FDOQ6511280

Abstract: We investigate the presence of soliton solutions in some classes of nonlinear partial differential equations, namely generalized Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers, Korteveg-de Vries-Huxley, and Korteveg-de Vries-Burgers-Huxley equations, which combine effects of diffusion, dispersion, and nonlinearity. We emphasize the chiral behavior of the travelling solutions, whose velocities are determined by the parameters that define the equation. For some appropriate choices, we show that these equations can be mapped onto equations of motion of relativistic 1+1 dimensional phi^{4} and phi^{6} field theories of real scalar fields. We also study systems of two coupled nonlinear equations of the types mentioned.
