This paper is concerned with traveling waves for the generalized Kadomtsev}Petviashvili equation (w y)31, t31, i.e. solutions of the form w(t, , y)"u( !ct, y). We study both, solutions periodic in x" !ct and solitary waves, which are decaying in x, and their interrelations. In particular, we prove

β¦ Synopsis
We construct a finite difference scheme for the ordinary differential equation describing the traveling wave solutions to the Burgers equation. This difference equation has the property that its solution can be calculated. Our procedure for determining this solution follows closely the analysis used to obtain the traveling wave solutions to the original ordinary differential equation. The finite difference scheme follows directly from application of the nonstandard rules proposed by Mickens.

Heat transport at the microscale is of vital importance in microtechnology applications. In this study, we develop a finite difference scheme of the Crank-Nicholson type by introducing an intermediate function for the heat transport equation at the microscale. It is shown by the discrete energy meth
An artificial-viscosity finite-difference scheme is introduced for stabilizing the solutions of advectiondiffusion equations. Although only the linear one-dimensional case is discussed, the method is easily susceptible to generalization. Some theory and comparisons with other well-known schemes are
