Note on the single-shock solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation

The well-known shock solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation are revisited, together with their limitations in the context of plasma (astro)physical applications. Although available in the literature for a long time, it seems to have been forgotten in recent papers that such shocks are monotonic and unique, for a given plasma configuration, and cannot show oscillatory or bell-shaped features. This uniqueness is contrasted to solitary wave solutions of the two parent equations (Korteweg-de Vries and Burgers), which form a family of curves parameterized by the excess velocity over the linear phase speed.

Nonlinear Dynamics for Local Fractional Burgers Equation Arising in Fractal Flow

The local fractional Burgers’ equation (LFBE) is investigated from the point of view of local fractional conservation laws envisaging a nonlinear local fractional transport equation with a linear non-differentiable diffusion term. The local fractional derivative transformations and the LFBE conversion to a linear local fractional diffusion equation are analyzed.

Some Travelling Wave Solutions of KdV-Burgers Equation

In this paper we study the extended Tanh method to obtain some exact solutions of KdV-Burgers equation. The principle of the Tanh method has been explained and then apply to the nonlinear KdV- Burgers evolution equation. A finnite power series in tanh is considered as an ansatz and the symbolic computational system is used to obtain solution of that nonlinear evolution equation. The obtained solutions are all travelling wave solutions.

Equação de burgers propriedades e comportamento assintótico

No presente trabalho, obtemos e analisamos diversas propriedades das soluções u(·, t) da equação de difusão linear (equação do calor em meios unidimensionais homogêneos) ut = μuxx x 2 R, t > 0 correspondentes a estados iniciais u(x, 0) = u0(x), com u0 2 Lp(R), para algum 1 p < 1; bem como da equação de Burgers ut + cuux = μuxx x 2 R, t > 0 onde c, μ são constantes dadas, sendo c 6= 0 e μ > 0 e ainda assumindo u(x, 0) = u0(x) com u0 2 Lp(R) para 1 p < 1, e limitado. Estudamos também a equação mais geral da forma ut + f(u)x = μuxx x 2 R, t > 0 discutindo várias propriedades importantes das soluções, associadas a estados iniciais u0 2 Lp(R) \ L1(R) para algum 1 p < 1. Em particular, examinamos o comportamento de ku(·, t)kLr(R), p r 1, para t >> 1, e diversas propriedades relacionadas.

Whitham method for the Benjamin-Ono-Burgers equation and dispersive shocks

The Whitham modulation equations for the parameters of a periodic solution are derived using the generalized Lagrangian approach for the case of the damped Benjamin-Ono equation. The structure of the dispersive shock is considered in this method.

SURFACE PERTURBATIONS OF A SHALLOW VISCOUS-FLUID HEATED FROM BELOW AND THE (2+1)-DIMENSIONAL BURGERS-EQUATION

The (2 + 1)-dimensional Burgers equation is obtained as the equation of motion governing the surface perturbations of a shallow viscous fluid heated from below, provided the Rayleigh number of the system satisfies the condition R not-equal 30. A solution to this equation is explicitly exhibited and it is argued that it describes the nonlinear evolution of a nearly one-dimensional kink.

Linearizability of the perturbed Burgers equation

We show in this report that the perturbed Burgers equation ut = 2uux + uxx + ε(3 α1u2ux + 3 α2uuxx + 3 α3u2 x + α4uxxx) is equivalent, through a near-identity transformation and up to O(ε), to a linearizable equation if the condition 3 α1 - 3 α3 - 3/2α2 + 3/2α4 = 0 is satisfied. In the case this condition is not fulfilled, a normal form for the equation under consideration is given. We show, furthermore, that nonlinearizable cases lead to perturbative expansions with secular-type behavior. Then, to illustrate our results, we make a linearizability analysis of the equations governing the dynamics of a one-dimensional gas.

Organizational ambidexterity and corporate entrepreneurship : the differential effects on venturing, innovation and renewal processes

Most corporate entrepreneurship studies have focused on either innovation, venturing or strategic renewal making comparison between the antecedents of all three aspects of corporate entrepreneurship difficult. Moreover, studies on corporate entrepreneurship hardly address organizational antecedents, while simultaneously managing and organizing CE and mainstream activities has been seen as a major challenge for incumbent firms. Our findings show that organizational ambidexterity has strong and differential effects on venturing, innovation and renewal. We find, for example, that innovation is affected by horizontal integration, while strategic renewal is significantly influenced by integration on top management team level.
