We describe traveling waves in a basic model for three-dimensional water-wave dynamics in the weakly nonlinear long-wave regime. Small solutions that are periodic in the direction of translation (or orthogonal to it) form an infinite-dimensional family. We characterize these solutions through spatial dynamics, by reducing a linearly ill-posed mixed-type initial-value problem to a center manifold of infinite dimension and codimension. A unique global solution exists for arbitrary small initial data for the two-component bottom velocity, specified along a single line in the direction of translation (or orthogonal to it). A dispersive, nonlocal, nonlinear wave equation governs the spatial evolution of bottom velocity.
We use geometric singular perturbation techniques combined with an action functional approach to study traveling pulse solutions in a three-component FitzHugh--Nagumo model. First, we derive the profile of traveling $1$-pulse solutions with undetermined width and propagating speed. Next, we compute the associated action functional for this profile from which we derive the conditions for existence and a saddle-node bifurcation as the zeros of the action functional and its derivatives. We obtain the same conditions by using a different analytical approach that exploits the singular limit of the problem. We also apply this methodology of the action functional to the problem for traveling $2$-pulse solutions and derive the explicit conditions for existence and a saddle-node bifurcation. From these we deduce a necessary condition for the existence of traveling $2$-pulse solutions. We end this article with a discussion related to Hopf bifurcations near the saddle-node bifurcation.
We study asymptotic stability of solitary wave solutions in the one-dimensional Benney-Luke equation, a formally valid approximation for describing two-way water wave propagation. For this equation, as for the full water wave problem, the classic variational method for proving orbital stability of solitary waves fails dramatically due to the fact that the second variation of the energy-momentum functional is infinitely indefinite. We establish nonlinear stability in energy norm under the spectral stability hypothesis that the linearization admits no non-zero eigenvalues of non-negative real part. We also verify this hypothesis for waves of small energy.
In this work, we investigate the system of three species ecological model involving one predator-prey subsystem coupling with a generalist predator with negative effect on the prey. Without diffusive terms, all global dynamics of its corresponding reaction equations are proved analytically for all classified parameters. With diffusive terms, the transitions of different spatial homogeneous solutions, the traveling wave solutions, are showed by higher dimensional shooting method, the Wazewski method. Some interesting numerical simulations are performed, and biological implications are given.
This paper studies the traveling wave solutions to a three species competition cooperation system. The existence of the traveling waves is investigated via monotone iteration method. The upper and lower solutions come from either the waves of KPP equation or those of certain Lotka Volterra system. We also derive the asymptotics and uniqueness of the wave solutions. The results are then applied to a Lotka Volterra system with spatially averaged and temporally delayed competition.
We consider an epidemic model with direct transmission given by a system of nonlinear partial differential equations and study the existence of traveling wave solutions. When the basic reproductive number of the considered model is less than one, we show that there is no nontrivial traveling wave solution. On the other hand, when the basic reproductive number is greater than one, we prove that there is a minimum wave speed $c^*$ such that the system has a traveling wave solution with speed $c$ connecting both equilibrium points for any $cge c^*$. Moreover, under suitable assumption on the diffusion rates, we show that there is no traveling wave solution with speed less than $c^*$. We conclude with numerical simulations to illustrate our findings. The numerical experiments supports the validity of our theoretical results.
