Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the numerical method is not everything for nonlinear equations. Some properties cannot be revealed numerically; an example is used to elucidate the fact.

Design/methodology/approach

A variational principle is established for the generalized KdV – Burgers equation by the semi-inverse method, and the equation is solved analytically by the exp-function method, and some exact solutions are obtained, including blowup solutions and discontinuous solutions. The solution morphologies are studied by illustrations using different scales.

Findings

Solitary solution is the basic property of nonlinear wave equations. This paper finds some new properties of the KdV–Burgers equation, which have not been reported in open literature and cannot be effectively elucidated by numerical methods. When the solitary solution or the blowup solution is observed on a much small scale, their discontinuous property is first found.

Originality/value

The variational principle can explain the blowup and discontinuous properties of a nonlinear wave equation, and the exp-function method is a good candidate to reveal the solution properties.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this offered research is to articulate a multifaceted kind of highly unstable initial perturbation and further analyze the performance of the plasma particles for time-fractional order evaluation.

Design/methodology/approach

For this purpose, the authors designed specific geometry and further interpreted it into the mathematical model using the concepts of the Vlasov Maxwell system. The suggested algorithm is based on the finite-difference and spectral estimation philosophy. The management of time and memory in generic code for computational purposes is also discussed.

Findings

The main purpose is to analyze the fractional behavior of plasma particles and also the capability of the suggested numerical algorithm. Due to initial perturbations, there are a lot of sudden variations that occurred in the formulated system. Graphical behavior shows that SR parameter produces devastation as compared to others. The variation of fractional parameter between the defend domain demonstrates the hidden pictures of plasma particles. The design scheme is efficient, convergent and has the capability to cover the better physics of the problem.

Practical implications

Plasma material is commonly used in different areas of science. Therefore, in this paper, the authors increase the capability of the mathematical plasma model with specific geometry, and further suitable numerical algorithm is suggested with detailed physical analysis of the outcomes. The authors gave a new direction to study the performance of plasma particles under the influence of LASER light.

Originality/value

In the recent era, science has produced a lot of advancements to study and analyze the physical natural process, which exist everywhere in the real word. On behalf of this current developments, it is now insufficient to study the first-order time evaluation of the plasma particles. One needs to be more precise and should move toward the bottomless state of it, that is, macroscopic and microscopic time-evaluation scales, and it is not wrong to say that there exits a huge gap, to study the time evaluation in this discussed manner. The presented study is entirely an advanced and efficient way to investigate the problem into the new directions. The capability of the proposed algorithm and model with fractional concepts can fascinate the reader to extend to the other dimensions.
