We will make a detailed analysis of a class of the Jimbo-Miwa equation, viz., exact or invariant solutions that arise from the symmetries generated by it and the conservation laws of the equation. The equation, it turns out, is rich in its symmetry structure and produces a large class of conservation laws and what we term as ‘approximate’ conservation laws.

Although these strategies can be recommended, or even imposed, their actual implementation may depend on the population perception of the risks associated with a potential infection.

Quasi-periodic, chaotic and travelling wave structures of modified Gardner equation Chaos Solitons Fractals (IF 3.764) Pub Date : 2021-01-06 Adil Jhangeer; Amjad Hussain; M. Junaid-U-Rehman; Dumitru Baleanu; Muhammad Bilal Riaz
In this paper, the nonlinear modified Gardner (mG) equation is under consideration which represents the super nonlinear proliferation of the ion-acoustic waves and quantum electron-positronion magneto plasmas. The considered model is investigated with the help of Lie group analysis. Lie point symmetries are computed under the invariance criteria of Lie groups and symmetry group for each generator is

Optimal control problem of advection-diffusion-reaction equation of kind fractal-fractional applying shifted Jacobi polynomials Chaos Solitons Fractals (IF 3.764) Pub Date : 2021-01-06 T. Shojaeizadeh; M. Mahmoudi; M. Darehmiraki
Optimal control is always intended for optimization of different systems. In this study, new introduced differential operators called fractal-fractional derivatives have been used to investigate the behavior of one of the attractions of applied mathematics in physics and engineering. A novel version of the optimal control problem (OCP) generated using a dynamic system of type space-time fractal-fractional

κ-generalised Gutenberg–Richter law and the self-similarity of earthquakes Chaos Solitons Fractals (IF 3.764) Pub Date : 2021-01-06 Sérgio Luiz E.F. da Silva
The earthquakes statistical analysis are essential for understanding the seismic activity of a region and consequently, in seismic hazard studies. Nowadays, the statistics that describe the relationship between the earthquake magnitude and the total number of quakes in a given region has been dominated by the Gutenberg–Richter (GR) power-law. However, the GR law is only valid from a threshold magnitude
