The solution of the problem on reduction operators and nonclassical reductions of the Burgers equation is systematically treated and completed. A new proof of the theorem on the special “no-go” case of regular reduction operators is presented, and the representation of the coefficients of operators in terms of solutions of the initial equation is constructed for this case. All possible nonclassical reductions of the Burgers equation to single ordinary differential equations are exhaustively described. Any Lie reduction of the Burgers equation proves to be equivalent via the Hopf–Cole transformation to a parameterized family of Lie reductions of the linear heat 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.

Burgers equation is one of the simplest nonlinear partial differential equations—it combines the basic processes of diffusion and nonlinear steepening. In some applications it is appropriate for the diffusion coefficient to be a time-dependent function. Using a Wayne's transformation and centre manifold theory, we derive lmode and 2-mode centre manifold models of the generalised Burgers equations for bounded smooth time dependent coefficients. These modellings give some interesting extensions to existing results such as the similarity solutions using the similarity method.; http://arxiv.org/abs/math-ph/0307064; Zhenquan Li and A.J.

Neste trabalho, é estudada uma generalização da equação de Burgers do ponto de vista da teoria de simetrias de Lie; In this work, a generalization of Burgers equation is studied from the point of view of Lie point symmetry theory

We consider a class of nearest-neighbor weakly asymmetric mass conservative particle systems evolving on $\mathbb{Z}$, which includes zero-range and types of exclusion processes, starting from a perturbation of a stationary state. When the weak asymmetry is of order $O(n^\gamma)$ for $1/2<\gamma\leq 1$, we show that the scaling limit of the fluctuation field, as seen across process characteristics, is a generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. However, at the critical weak asymmetry when $\gamma = 1/2$, we show that all limit points solve a martingale problem which may be interpreted in terms of a stochastic Burgers equation derived from taking the gradient of the KPZ equation. The proofs make use of a sharp `Boltzmann-Gibbs' estimate which improves on earlier bounds.; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT)

In this paper it is shown that the inviscid Burgers equation is nonlinearly self-adjoint. Then, from Ibragimov's theorem on conservation laws, local conserved quantities are obtained. Mathematical subject classification: Primary: 76M60; Secondary: 58J70.

We develop a Lagrangian approach to conservation-law anomalies in weak solutions of inviscid Burgers equation, motivated by previous work on the Kraichnan model of turbulent scalar advection. We show that the entropy solutions of Burgers possess Markov stochastic processes of (generalized) Lagrangian trajectories backward in time for which the Burgers velocity is a backward martingale. This property is shown to guarantee dissipativity of conservation-law anomalies for general convex functions of the velocity. The backward stochastic Burgers flows with these properties are not unique, however. We construct infinitely many such stochastic flows, both by a geometric construction and by the zero-noise limit of the Constantin-Iyer stochastic representation of viscous Burgers solutions. The latter proof yields the spontaneous stochasticity of Lagrangian trajectories backward in time for Burgers, at unit Prandtl number. It is conjectured that existence of a backward stochastic flow with the velocity as martingale is an admissibility condition which selects the unique entropy solution for Burgers. We also study linear transport of passive densities and scalars by inviscid Burgers flows. We show that shock solutions of Burgers exhibit spontaneous stochasticity backward in time for all Prandtl numbers...

The inviscid Burgers equation is one of the simplest nonlinear hyperbolic conservation law which provides a variety examples for many topics in nonlinear partial differential equations such as wave propagation, shocks and perturbation, and it can easily be derived by the Euler equations of compressible fluids by imposing zero pressure in the given system. Recently, several versions of the relativistic Burgers equations have been derived on different geometries such as Minkowski (flat), Schwarzshild and FLRW spacetimes by LeFloch and his collaborators. In this paper, we consider a family member of the FLRW spacetime so-called the de Sitter background, introduce some important features of this spacetime geometry with its metric and derive the relativistic Burgers equation on it. The Euler system of equations on the de Sitter spacetime can be found by a known process by using the Christoffel symbols and tensors for perfect fluids. We applied the usual techniques used for the Schwarzshild and FLRW spacetimes in order to derive the relativistic Burgers equation from the vanishing pressure Euler system on the de Sitter background. We observed that the model admits static solutions. In the final part, we examined several numerical illustrations of the given model through a finite volume approximation based on the paper by LeFloch et al. The effect of the cosmological constant is also numerically analysed in this part. Furthermore...

This paper examines the properties of a regularization of Burgers equation in one and multiple dimensions using a filtered convective velocity, which we have dubbed as convectively filtered Burgers (CFB) equation. A physical motivation behind the filtering technique is presented. An existence and uniqueness theorem for multiple dimensions and a general class of filters is proven. Multiple invariants of motion are found for the CFB equation and are compared with those found in viscous and inviscid Burgers equation. Traveling wave solutions are found for a general class of filters and are shown to converge to weak solutions of inviscid Burgers equation with the correct wave speed. Accurate numerical simulations are conducted in 1D and 2D cases where the shock behavior, shock thickness, and kinetic energy decay are examined. Energy spectrum are also examined and are shown to be related to the smoothness of the solutions.

We report on the implementation of Burgers equation as a type-II quantum computation on an NMR quantum information processor. Since the flow field evolving under the Burgers equation develops sharp features over time, this is a better test of liquid state NMR implementations of type-II quantum computers than the previous examples using the diffusion equation. In particular, we show that Fourier approximations used in the encoding step are not the dominant error. Small systematic errors in the collision operator accumulate and swamp all other errors. We propose, and demonstrate, that the accumulation of this error can be avoided to a large extent by replacing the single collision operator with a set of operators with random errors and similar fidelities. Experiments have been implemented on 16 two-qubit sites for eight successive time steps for the Burgers equation.; Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures

We consider the Langevin equation describing a stochastically perturbed by uniform noise non-viscous Burgers fluid and introduce a deterministic function that corresponds to the mean of the velocity when we keep the value of position fixed. We study interrelations between this function and the solution of the non-perturbed Burgers equation. Especially we are interested in the property of the solution of the latter equation to develop unbounded gradients within a finite time. We study the question how the initial distribution of particles for the Langevin equation influences this blowup phenomenon. It is shown that for a wide class of initial data and initial distributions of particles the unbounded gradients are eliminated. The case of a linear initial velocity is particular. We show that if the initial distribution of particles is uniform, then the mean of the velocity for a given position coincides with the solution of the Burgers equation and in particular does not depend on the constant variance of the stochastic perturbation. Further, for a one space space variable we get the following result: if the decay rate of the power-behaved initial particles distribution at infinity is greater or equal $|x|^{-2},$ then the blowup is suppressed...

Consider the viscous Burgers equation on a bounded interval with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Following the variational framework introduced by Bertini-De Sole-Gabrielli-Jona-Lasinio-Landim C, we analyze a Lyapunov functional for such equation which gives the large deviations asymptotics of a stochastic interacting particles model associated to the Burgers equation. We discuss the asymptotic behavior of this energy functional, whose minimizer is given by the unique stationary solution, as the length of the interval diverges. We focus on boundary data corresponding to a standing wave solution to the Burgers equation in the whole line. In this case, the limiting functional has in fact a one-parameter family of minimizers and we analyze the so-called development by Gamma-convergence; this amounts to compute the sharp asymptotic cost corresponding to a given shift of the stationary solution.

We present results for the 1 dimensional stochastically forced Burgers equation when the spatial range of the forcing varies. As the range of forcing moves from small scales to large scales, the system goes from a chaotic, structureless state to a structured state dominated by shocks. This transition takes place through an intermediate region where the system exhibits rich multifractal behavior. This is mainly the region of interest to us. We only mention in passing the hydrodynamic limit of forcing confined to large scales, where much work has taken place since that of Polyakov. In order to make the general framework clear, we give an introduction to aspects of isotropic, homogeneous turbulence, a description of Kolmogorov scaling, and, with the help of a simple model, an introduction to the language of multifractality which is used to discuss intermittency corrections to scaling. We continue with a general discussion of the Burgers equation and forcing, and some aspects of three dimensional turbulence where - because of the mathematical analogy between equations derived from the Navier-Stokes and Burgers equations - one can gain insight from the study of the simpler stochastic Burgers equation. These aspects concern the connection of dissipation rate intermittency exponents with those characterizing the structure functions of the velocity field...

We study bounds on the enstrophy growth for solutions of the viscous Burgers equation on the unit circle. Using the variational formulation of Lu and Doering, we prove that the maximizer of the enstrophy's rate of change is sharp in the limit of large enstrophy up to a numerical constant but does not saturate the Poincar\'e inequality for mean-zero 1-periodic functions. Using the dynamical system methods, we give an asymptotic representation of the maximizer in the limit of large enstrophy as a viscous shock on the background of a linear rarefactive wave. This asymptotic construction is used to prove that a larger growth of enstrophy can be achieved when the initial data to the viscous Burgers equation saturates the Poincar\'e inequality up to a numerical constant. An exact self-similar solution of the Burgers equation is constructed to describe formation of a metastable viscous shock on the background of a linear rarefactive wave. When we consider the Burgers equation on an infinite line subject to the nonzero (shock-type) boundary conditions, we prove that the maximum enstrophy achieved in the time evolution is scaled as $\mathcal{E}^{3/2}$, where $\mathcal{E}$ is the large initial enstrophy, whereas the time needed for reaching the maximal enstrophy is scaled as $\mathcal{E}^{-1/2} \log(\mathcal{E})$. Similar but slower rates are proved on the unit circle.; Comment: 40 pages...

This document provides a proof that the solutions to the convectively filtered Burgers equation, will converge to the entropy solution of the inviscid Burgers equation when certain restrictions are put on the initial conditions. It does so by first establishing convergence to a weak solution of the inviscid Burgers equation and then showing that the weak solution is the entropy solution. Then the results are extended to encompass more general initial conditions.; Comment: Minor changes and typo corrections

We present a noncommutative version of the Burgers equation which possesses the Lax representation and discuss the integrability in detail. We find a noncommutative version of the Cole-Hopf transformation and succeed in the linearization of it. The linearized equation is the (noncommutative) diffusion equation and exactly solved. We also discuss the properties of some exact solutions. The result shows that the noncommutative Burgers equation is completely integrable even though it contains infinite number of time derivatives. Furthermore, we derive the noncommutative Burgers equation from the noncommutative (anti-)self-dual Yang-Mills equation by reduction, which is an evidence for the noncommutative Ward conjecture. Finally, we present a noncommutative version of the Burgers hierarchy by both the Lax-pair generating technique and the Sato's approach.; Comment: 24 pages, LaTeX, 1 figure; v2: discussions on Ward conjecture, Sato theory and the integrability added, references added, version to appear in J.

We study the dissipation mechanism of a stochastic particle system for the Burgers equation. The velocity field of the viscous Burgers and Navier-Stokes equations can be expressed as an expected value of a stochastic process based on noisy particle trajectories [Constantin and Iyer Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 3 (2008) 330-345]. In this paper we study a particle system for the viscous Burgers equations using a Monte-Carlo version of the above; we consider N copies of the above stochastic flow, each driven by independent Wiener processes, and replace the expected value with $\frac{1}{N}$ times the sum over these copies. A similar construction for the Navier-Stokes equations was studied by Mattingly and the first author of this paper [Iyer and Mattingly Nonlinearity 21 (2008) 2537-2553]. Surprisingly, for any finite N, the particle system for the Burgers equations shocks almost surely in finite time. In contrast to the full expected value, the empirical mean $\frac{1}{N}\sum_1^N$ does not regularize the system enough to ensure a time global solution. To avoid these shocks, we consider a resetting procedure, which at first sight should have no regularizing effect at all. However, we prove that this procedure prevents the formation of shocks for any $N\geq2$...

The stochastic PDE known as the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation (KPZ) has been proposed as a model for a randomly growing interface. This equation can be reformulated as a stochastic Burgers equation. We study a stochastic KdV-Burgers equation as a toy model for this stochastic Burgers equation. Both of these equations formally preserve spatial white noise. We are interested in rigorously proving the invariance of white noise for the stochastic KdV-Burgers equation. This paper establishes a result in this direction. After smoothing the additive noise (by less than one spatial derivative), we establish (almost sure) local well-posedness of the stochastic KdV-Burgers equation with white noise as initial data. We also prove a global well-posedness result under an additional smoothing of the noise.; Comment: 39 pages
