Extended Painlevé Expansion, Nonstandard Truncation and Special Reductions of Nonlinear Evolution Equations

  • Sen-yue Lou

Abstract

To study a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE), the Painleve expansion developed by Weiss, Tabor and Carnevale (WTC) is one of the most powerful methods. In this paper, using any singular manifold, the expansion series in the usual Painleve analysis is shown to be resummable in some different ways. A simple nonstandard truncated expansion with a quite universal reduction function is used for many nonlinear integrable and nonintegrable PDEs such as the Burgers, Korteweg de-Vries (KdV), Kadomtsev-Petviashvli (KP), Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon-Sawada-Kortera (CDGSK), Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS), Davey-Stewartson (DS), Broer-Kaup (BK), KdV-Burgers (KdVB), λf4 , sine-Gordon (sG) etc.
