In this work, we explore the nonlinear wave phenomena of the (3+1)-dimensional Boussinesq (II) equation, a significantly higher-dimensional model that describes dispersive wave propagation in fluid dynamics, plasma systems, and nonlinear optics. Using exact analytic and qualitative dynamic approaches, we study a wide range of solutions and stability characteristics of the model. Initially, we use the Hirota bilinear method to obtain a number of exact solutions, such as breather waves, two-wave interaction solutions, and other types of localized nonlinear waves. These solutions display remarkable physical properties, including periodic energy trapping, oscillatory modulations, and nonlinear wave interactions in higher dimensions. In addition, the $(m+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{G^{\prime }}})$-expansion method is used to derive new soliton solutions, such as bright solitary waves and W-shaped solitons, which are found to be stable and undergo pulse-shaping dynamics under certain conditions. Three-dimensional, two-dimensional, and contour plots are displayed for some of the solutions to demonstrate the physical significance of the results. The visualizations reveal the presence of localized waves, wave interactions, periodical breathing, and stable soliton profiles. Furthermore, we conduct modulation instability analysis to describe the conditions under which small perturbations of continuous wave backgrounds are unstable. The dispersion relation and the instability gain spectrum are obtained, which explain the formation of breathers, soliton trains, and other coherent structures. Furthermore, a Galilean transformation converts the governing equation into a planar nonlinear dynamical system, enabling its qualitative study. The Hamiltonian structure is revealed, and the fixed points are identified as centers, saddles, and cusps through bifurcation analysis. To investigate more complex dynamics, a periodic forcing term is introduced into the system, resulting in chaos in the forced system. The chaotic behavior is confirmed via phase portraits, three-dimensional attractors, time series, Poincaré sections, return maps, fractal dimension, and positive Lyapunov exponents. We also perform a sensitivity test to show the effect of initial condition variations on the system’s long-term dynamics. The findings greatly expand the exact solution set and dynamics of the (3+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation (II). The analytical approach presented in this paper can also be applied to other multidimensional nonlinear evolution equations of mathematical physics. Full article

This paper builds upon a previous study suggesting an optimization procedure for rotation sequences by introducing a fourth factor in Euler-type decompositions, thus allowing for an additional degree of freedom used both as a variational parameter and a means to avoid the gimbal lock singularity. Here, an analogous result is derived for generic rigid motions, which is of potential interest in 3D robot manipulators, aircraft, and spacecraft using gimbals to navigate in space. The idea is based on Kotelnikov’s principle of transference, which extends the properties of pure rotations to arbitrary Galilean transformations, interpreted as screw motions. To do that in practice, it is convenient to use dual quaternions or their projective version, referred to as dual Rodrigues’ vectors. With this approach, the explicit solutions are easy to extend and therefore optimization is rather straightforward: we show, both analytically and with numerical examples, that factorizing motion into sequences of four consecutive screws is, in general, significantly more energy-efficient compared to using three.

In this paper, we investigate the (1 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear truncated M-fractional FitzHugh–Nagumo model. The main objective is to analyze the dynamical behavior and obtain exact solutions for the model. First, a fractional transformation is applied to convert the governing partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation. Subsequently, a Galilean transformation is employed to reduce the resulting equation to a dynamical system. The bifurcation structure and chaotic dynamics of the model are then examined. The presence of chaos is further confirmed through the phase portrait, basin of attraction, return map, Lyapunov exponent, permutation entropy, Poincaré map, power spectrum, attractor, fractal dimension, multistability, time analysis, and recurrence plot. In addition, the sensitivity of the system to the initial conditions is analyzed. Finally, exact solutions for the model are constructed using the unified Riccati equation expansion method. The obtained results are illustrated using two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and contour plots. Full article

This study examines the nonlinear dynamical behavior of a Van der Waals system in the viscosity–capillarity regularization form. The solitary wave solutions of the proposed model are investigated using advanced analytical techniques, including the generalized Arnous method, the modified generalized Riccati equation mapping method, and the modified F-expansion approach. Additionally, we use mathematical simulations to enhance our comprehension of wave propagation. Moreover, a machine learning algorithm known as the multilayer perceptron regressor neural network was adopted to predict the performance results of our soliton solutions. Another important aspect of this study is the exploration of the chaos of the studied model by introducing a perturbed system. Chaotic analysis is supported by different techniques, such as return maps, power spectra, a bifurcation diagram, and a chaotic attractor. This multifaceted investigation not only emphasizes the rich dynamical pattern of the studied model but also presents a robust mathematical framework for studying nonlinear systems. The studied model also presents a robust mathematical framework for studying nonlinear systems. This study offers novel insights into nonlinear dynamics and wave phenomena by assessing the effectiveness of modern methodologies and clarifying the distinctive characteristics of a system’s nonlinear dynamics.

This manuscript presents a comprehensive Lie symmetry analysis of the KdV-Burgers equation, a prototypical model for nonlinear wave dynamics incorporating dissipation and dispersion. We systematically derive its six-dimensional Lie algebra and construct an optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras. This framework is used to perform a symmetry reduction, transforming the governing partial differential equation into a set of ordinary differential equations. A key contribution of this work is the identification and analysis of several non-trivial invariant solutions, including a new Galilean-boost-invariant solution related to an accelerating reference frame, which extends beyond standard traveling waves. Through a detailed physical interpretation supported by phase plane analysis and asymptotic methods, we elucidate how the mathematical symmetries directly manifest as fundamental physical behaviors. This reveals a clear classification of distinct wave regimes—from monotonic and oscillatory shocks to solitary wave trains governed by the interplay between nonlinearity, dissipation and dispersion. The numerical validation verify the accuracy and physical relevance of the derived invariant solutions, with errors less than $0.5\%$ in the Burgers limit and $3.2\%$ in the weak dissipation regime. Our work establishes a direct link between the model’s symmetry structure and its observable dynamics, providing a unified framework validated both analytically and through the examination of universal scaling laws. The results offer profound insights applicable to fields ranging from plasma physics and hydrodynamics to nonlinear acoustics. Full article

We propose a Ramsey approach to the dimensional analysis of physical systems, which complements the seminal Buckingham theorem. Dimensionless constants describing a given physical system are represented as vertices of a graph, referred to as a dimensions graph. Two vertices are connected by an aqua-colored edge if they share at least one common dimensional physical quantity and by a brown edge if they do not. In this way, a bi-colored complete Ramsey graph is obtained. The relations introduced between the vertices of the dimensions graph are non-transitive. According to the Ramsey theorem, a monochromatic triangle must necessarily appear in a dimensions graph constructed from six vertices, regardless of the order of the vertices. Mantel–Turán analysis is applied to study these graphs. The proposed Ramsey approach is extended to graphs constructed from fundamental physical constants. A physical interpretation of the Ramsey analysis of dimensions graphs is suggested. A generalization of the proposed Ramsey scheme to multi-colored Ramsey graphs is also discussed, along with an extension to infinite sets of dimensionless constants. The introduced dimensions graphs are invariant under rotations of reference frames, but they are sensitive to Galilean and Lorentz transformations. The coloring of the dimensions graph is independent of the chosen system of units. The number of vertices in a dimensions graph is relativistically invariant and independent of the system of units.

The graph theory-based approach to the three-body problem is introduced. Vectors of linear and angular momenta of the particles form the vertices of the graph. Scalar products of the vectors of the linear and angular momenta define the colors of the links connecting the vertices. The bi-colored, complete graph emerges. This graph is called the “momenta graph”. According to the Ramsey theorem, this graph contains at least one mono-chromatic triangle. This is true even for chaotic motion of three bodies; thus, illustrating the idea supplied by the Ramsey theory, total chaos is impossible. Coloring of the graph is independent on the rotation of frames; however, it is sensitive to Galilean transformations. The coloring of the momenta graph remains the same for general linear transformations of vectors with a positive-definite matrix. For a given motion, changing the order of the vertices does not change the number and distribution of monochromatic triangles. Symmetry of the momenta graph is addressed. The symmetry group remains the same for general linear transformation of vectors of the linear and angular momenta with a positive-definite matrix. Conditions defining conservation of the coloring of the momenta graph are addressed. The notion of the stereographic momenta graph is introduced. Shannon entropy of the momenta graph is calculated. The particular configurations of bodies are addressed, including the Lagrange configuration and the figure eight-shaped motion. The suggested approach is generalized for the quantum field theory with the Pauli–Lubanski pseudo-vector. The suggested coloring procedure is the Lorenz invariant. Full article

This study investigates the dynamics of dust acoustic periodic waves in a three-component, unmagnetized dusty plasma system using generalized $(r^{\star },q^{\star })$ distributions. First, boundary conditions are applied to reduce the model to a second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The Galilean transformation is subsequently applied to reformulate the second-order ordinary differential equation into an unperturbed dynamical system. Next, phase portraits of the system are examined under all possible conditions of the discriminant of the associated cubic polynomial, identifying regions of stability and instability. The Runge–Kutta method is employed to construct the phase portraits of the system. The Hamiltonian function of the unperturbed system is subsequently derived and used to analyze energy levels and verify the phase portraits. Under the influence of an external periodic perturbation, the quasi-periodic and chaotic dynamics of dust ion acoustic waves are explored. Chaos detection tools confirm the presence of quasi-periodic and chaotic patterns using Basin of attraction, Lyapunov exponents, Fractal Dimension, Bifurcation diagram, Poincaré map, Time analysis, Multi-stability analysis, Chaotic attractor, Return map, Power spectrum, and 3D and 2D phase portraits. In addition, the model’s response to different initial conditions was examined through sensitivity analysis. Full article

The present paper examines a novel exact solution to nonlinear fractional partial differential equations (FDEs) through the Sardar sub-equation method (SSEM) coupled with Jumarie’s Modified Riemann–Liouville derivative (JMRLD). We take the (3+1)-dimensional space–time fractional modified Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) -Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation as a case study, which describes some intricate phenomena of wave behavior in plasma physics and fluid dynamics. With the implementation of SSEM, we yield new solitary wave solutions and explicitly examine the role of the fractional-order parameter in the dynamics of the solutions. In addition, the sensitivity analysis of the results is conducted in the Galilean transformation in order to ensure that the obtained results are valid and have physical significance. Besides expanding the toolbox of analytical methods to address high-dimensional nonlinear FDEs, the proposed method helps to better understand how fractional-order dynamics affect the nonlinear wave phenomenon. The results are compared to known methods and a discussion about their possible applications and limitations is given. The results show the effectiveness and flexibility of SSEM along with JMRLD in forming new categories of exact solutions to nonlinear fractional models. Full article

This paper proposes the generalized modified unstable nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation with applications in modulated wavetrain instabilities. The extended direct algebra and generalized Ricatti equation methods are applied to find innovative soliton solutions to the equation. The solutions are obtained in the form of elliptic, hyperbolic, and trigonometric functions. Moreover, a Galilean transformation is used to convert the problem into a dynamical system. We use the theory of planar dynamical systems to derive the equilibrium points of the dynamical system and analyze the Hamiltonian polynomial. We further investigate the bifurcation phase portrait of the system and study its chaotic behaviors when an external force is applied to the system. Graphical 2D and 3D plots are explored to support our mathematical analysis. A sensitivity analysis confirms that the variation in initial conditions has no substantial effect on the stability of the solutions. Furthermore, we give the modulation instability gain spectrum of the considered model and graphically indicate its dynamics using 2D plots. The reported results demonstrate not only the dynamics of the analyzed equation but are also conceptually relevant in establishing the temporal development of modest disturbances in stable or unstable media. These disturbances will be critical for anticipating, planning treatments, and creating novel mechanisms for modulated wavetrain instabilities. Full article

The central objective of this study is to develop some different wave solutions and perform a qualitative analysis on the nonlinear dynamics of the time-fractional chiral nonlinear Schrodinger’s equation (NLSE) in the conformable sense. Combined with the semi-inverse method (SIM) and traveling wave transformation, we establish the variational principle (VP). Based on this, the corresponding Hamiltonian is constructed. Adopting the Galilean transformation, the planar dynamical system is derived. Then, the phase portraits are plotted and the bifurcation analysis is presented to expound the existence conditions of the various wave solutions with the different shapes. Furthermore, the chaotic phenomenon is probed and sensitivity analysis is given in detail. Finally, two powerful tools, namely the variational method (VM) which stems from the VP and Ritz method, as well as the Hamiltonian-based method (HBM) that is based on the energy conservation theory, are adopted to find the abundant wave solutions, which are the bell-shape soliton (bright soliton), W-shape soliton (double-bright solitons or double bell-shaped soliton) and periodic wave solutions. The shapes of the attained new diverse wave solutions are simulated graphically, and the impact of the fractional order $\delta$ on the behaviors of the extracted wave solutions are also elaborated. To the authors’ knowledge, the findings of this research have not been reported elsewhere and can enable us to gain a profound understanding of the dynamics characteristics of the investigative equation.

Magneto-electro-elastic materials, a novel class of smart materials, exhibit remarkable energy conversion properties, making them highly suitable for applications in nanotechnology. This study focuses on various aspects of the fractional nonlinear longitudinal wave equation (FNLWE) that models wave propagation in a magneto-electro-elastic circular rod. Using the direct algebraic method, several new soliton solutions were derived under specific parameter constraints. In addition, Galilean transformation was employed to explore the system’s sensitivity and quasi-periodic dynamics. The study incorporates 2D, 3D, and time-series visualizations as effective tools for analyzing quasi-periodic behavior. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the nonlinear dynamical features of such systems and demonstrate the robustness of the applied methodologies. This research not only extends existing knowledge of nonlinear wave equations but also introduces a substantial number of new solutions with broad applicability. Full article

The Ramsey approach is applied to analyses of the kinematics of systems built of non-relativistic, motile point masses/particles. This approach is based on colored graph theory. Point masses/particles serve as the vertices of the graph. The time dependence of the distance between the particles determines the coloring of the links. The vertices/particles are connected with orange links when particles move away from each other or remain at the same distance. The vertices/particles are linked with violet edges when particles converge. The sign of the time derivative of the distance between the particles dictates the color of the edge. Thus, a complete, bi-colored Ramsey temporal graph emerges. The suggested coloring procedure is not transitive. The coloring of the links is time-dependent. The proposed coloring procedure is frame-independent and insensitive to Galilean transformations. At least one monochromatic triangle will inevitably appear in the graph emerging from the motion of six particles due to the fact that the Ramsey number $R\left(\mathrm{3,3}\right)=6.$ This approach is extended to the analysis of systems containing an infinite number of moving point masses. An infinite monochromatic (violet or orange) clique will necessarily appear in the graph. Applications of the introduced approach are discussed. The suggested Ramsey approach may be useful for the analysis of turbulence seen within the Lagrangian paradigm. Full article

In this article, the modified $\alpha$ equation is solved using the direct algebraic approach. As a result, numerous new and more generalized exact solutions for such equations have been found, taking into account the wide range of travelling structures. The rational, trigonometric, hyperbolic, and exponential functions with a couple of licentious parameters are thus included in these exact answers. Analytical solutions feature a variety of physical structures, which are visually studied to demonstrate their dynamic behavior in 2D and 3D. Considering the parameters, all feasible phase portraits are shown. Furthermore, we used numerical approaches to determine the nonlinear periodic structures of the mentioned model, and the data are graphically displayed. Additionally, we employed numerical approaches to determine the nonlinear conditions that contribute to the presented model, and the data are graphically displayed. After evaluating the influence of frequency following the application of an external periodic factor, sensitivity exploration is used to study quasi-periodic and chaotic behavior for several starting value problems. Furthermore, the function of physical characteristics is investigated using an external periodic force. Quasi-periodic and quasi-periodic-chaotic patterns are described with the inclusion of a perturbation term. The direct algebraic methodology would be used to derive the soliton solution of modified $\alpha$ equation, from which the Galilean transformation derives traveling wave solutions of the considered and a bifurcation behavior is reported. Analytical and numerical methods have been used to have the condition of the travelling wave phase transformation. The well-judged values of parameters are enhanced well with a graphically formal analysis of such specific solutions to illustrate their propagation. Then a planer dynamical system is introduced, and a bifurcation analysis is utilized to identify the bifurcation structures of the dynamical model’s nonlinear wave propagation solutions. Additionally, the periodic and quasi-periodic behavior of the discussed equation is analyzed using sensitivity analysis for a range of beginning values. To further comprehend the dynamical behaviors of the resultant solutions, a graphic analysis is conducted. Full article

We propose a Ramsey-theory-based approach for the analysis of the behavior of isolated mechanical systems containing interacting particles. The total momentum of the system in the frame of the center of masses is zero. The mechanical system is described by a Ramsey-theory-based, bi-colored, complete graph. Vectors of momenta of the particles ${\overrightarrow{p}}_i$ serve as the vertices of the graph. We start from the graph representing the system in the frame of the center of masses, where the momenta of the particles in this system are ${\overrightarrow{p}}_{cmi}.$ If ${(\overrightarrow{p}}_{cmi}(t)·{\overrightarrow{p}}_{cmj}(t))\ge 0$ is true, the vectors of momenta of the particles numbered i and j are connected with a red link; if ${(\overrightarrow{p}}_{cmi}(t)·{\overrightarrow{p}}_{cmj}(t))<0$ takes place, the vectors of momenta are connected with a green link. Thus, the complete, bi-colored graph emerges. Considering an isolated system built of six interacting particles, according to the Ramsey theorem, the graph inevitably comprises at least one monochromatic triangle. The coloring procedure is invariant relative to the rotations/translations of frames; thus, the graph representing the system contains at least one monochromatic triangle in any of the frames emerging from the rotation/translation of the original frame. This gives rise to a novel kind of mechanical invariant. Similar coloring is introduced for the angular momenta of the particles. However, the coloring procedure is sensitive to Galilean/Lorenz transformations. Extensions of the suggested approach are discussed. Full article
