Complex Solutions Of The Time Fractional Gross-Pitaevskii (Gp) Equation With External Potential By Using A Reliable Method, Nasir Taghizadeh, Mona N. Foumani

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, modified (G'/G )-expansion method is presented to establish the exact complex solutions of the time fractional Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation in the sense of the conformable fractional derivative. This method is an effective method in finding exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) in mathematical physics. The present approach has the potential to be applied to other nonlinear fractional differential equations. Based on two transformations, fractional GP equation can be converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equation of integer orders. In the end, we will discuss the solutions of the fractional GP equation with external potentials.

Quantifying Chaos In Dynamical Systems With Lyapunov Exponents, Michael Van Opstall Jun 2016

Quantifying Chaos In Dynamical Systems With Lyapunov Exponents, Michael Van Opstall

Furman University Electronic Journal of Undergraduate Mathematics

In this paper we analyze the dynamics of a four dimensional mechanical system which exhibits sensitive dependence on initial conditions. The aim of the paper is to introduce the basic ideas of chaos theory while assuming only a course in ordinary differential equations as a prerequisite.
