Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mathematical physics equations, partial differential equations with delays, and functional differential equations are widely used in modeling various phenomena and processes in natural, engineering, and social sciences. Exact solutions help to better understand the properties and qualitative features of differential equations. They play an important role of mathematical standards (reference solutions) that can be used to evaluate the accuracy of numerical, asymptotic, and approximate analytical methods. Note that exact solutions can provide a basis for improving computer algebra packages for solving partial differential equations.

This Special Issue aims to collect original and significant contributions on exact solutions to various mathematical physics equations and partial differential equations with delays, as well as initial boundary value problems. Equally welcome are relevant topics related to symmetry reductions, the development and refinement of methods for finding exact solutions, and new applications of exact solutions and mathematical physics equations. In addition, articles with new mathematical models in the natural sciences, which are described by PDEs and delay PDEs, are welcome. Note that articles with fractional PDEs are allowed only if there is a detailed discussion of the physical meaning of these equations.

We extend our analysis on the Lie symmetries in fluid dynamics to the case of macroscopic traffic estimation models. In particular we study the Aw–Rascle–Zhang model for traffic estimation, which consists of two hyperbolic first-order partial differential equations. The Lie symmetries, the one-dimensional optimal system and the corresponding Lie invariants are determined. Specifically, we find that the admitted Lie symmetries form the four-dimensional Lie algebra A4,12. The resulting one-dimensional optimal system is consisted by seven one-dimensional Lie algebras. Finally, we apply the Lie symmetries in order to define similarity transformations and derive new analytic solutions for the traffic model. The qualitative behaviour of the solutions is discussed.
