Gravity theory of the generalized mass to horizon entropy The Iyer Wald approach

In this letter, our aim is to study the gravitational origin of the \textit{generalized mass-to-horizon entropy} (GMHE), described by an entropic exponent index $n$ and a multiplicative parameter $\gamma$. We employ Iyer-Wald's approach within the modified $\mathfrak{f(R)}$ gravity scenario in order to assess the horizon entropy of the black hole (BH) by considering solutions with constant curvature for the spherically symmetric vacuum field equations. In this process, we explicitly show that the GMHE can effectively be reconstructed from a generalized Lagrangian $\mathfrak{L}\propto \mathfrak{R}^{1+\epsilon}$, where $\epsilon\equiv\frac{n-1}{2}$ measures tiny departures from the standard formulation of general relativity (GR). Finally, we discuss the physical implications of our results in relation to cosmology and the prospects for alleviating the thermodynamic instability of Schwarzschild BHs.

Cosmological dynamics and structure formation in a generalized mass-to-horizon entropy-inspired modified gravity

In this article, our goal is to investigate the cosmological dynamics and structure formation in a modified cosmological framework inspired by a generalized mass-to-horizon entropy relation and consistent with the Clausius relation. Invoking the gravity-thermodynamics conjecture leads to alterations in the Friedmann equations as well as Hubble parameter evolution. The effects of the generalized entropy on various cosmographic parameters and on the growth of the linear matter perturbations by constructing perturbed field equations via employing spherical collapse formalism in a flat Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker background have been explored. We discuss a novel and well-known diagnostic approach to differentiate various cosmological models vis-\`a-vis flat and non-flat $\Lambda$CDM frameworks, and find that the generalized mass-to-horizon entropy-inspired modified cosmology ($n\ne 1$) successfully passes all the litmus tests by falsifying both the flat and non-flat $\Lambda$CDM paradigms. It is shown that this model also satisfies the requirements for the Universe to achieve thermodynamic equilibrium in the distant future. We also study the halo mass function and cluster number counts in this modified gravity scenario. All the results are compared with the fiducial $\Lambda$CDM profile, showing that the additional entropic correction influences the expansion history, the growth rate of structures, and the abundance of collapsed halos. We observe that the more massive collapsed structures are less abundant and form at later epochs, which is expected from the hierarchical model of large-scale structure formation.}

Travelling wave solutions of equations in the Burgers Hierarchy

We emphasize that construction of travelling wave solutions for partial differential equations is a problem of considerable interest and thus introduce a simple algebraic method to generate such solutions for equations in the Burgers hierarchy. Our method based on a judicious use of the well known Cole-Hopf transformation is found to work satisfactorily for higher Burgers equations for which the direct method of integration is inapplicable. For Burgers equation we clearly demonstrate how does the diffusion term in the equation counteract the nonlinearity to result in a smooth wave. We envisage a similar study for higher equations in the Buggers hierarchy and establish that (i) as opposed to the solution of the Burgers equation, the purely nonlinear terms of these equations support smooth solutions and more interestingly (ii) the complete solutions of all higher-order equations are identical.

On the solution and Lagrangian representation of Duffing oscillator with damping

We construct the equation of Duffing oscillator in a dissipative medium using certain concepts from elementary mechanics. The Duffing equation (DE) without damping can be solved analytically. This is not true for a DE that involves a damping term. We remove the damping term from a linearly damped DE and thus obtain a simple analytical solution x(t) of the damped Duffing equation in the weak damping limit. The constructed solution allows us to examine the effect of damping on the phase path of the oscillator. The phase path is a parametric plot of x(t) and x = dxdt on the plane (x, x). While the phase path of the un-damped Duffing oscillator is an isolated limit cycle, the corresponding phase path for the Duffing oscillator with damping is a distorted one. We confirm our observation on the effect of dissipation by numerical simulation. We point out that it is often of interest to study dissipative systems at the quantum level and construct Lagrangian representations for both un-damped and damped Duffing oscillators. These results are expected to play a role to quantize the systems. We make some additional comments in respect of this.

On the symmetries of the modified Emden-type equation

For an autonomous system the symmetries of the Lagrangian are embedded in the symmetries of the differential equation. Recently, it has been found that the modified Emden-type equations follow from non-standard Lagrangian functions which involve neither the kinetic energy term nor the potential function. By working with one such Lagrangian we have calculated the Lagrangian symmetries and explicitly demonstrated that, as in the case of standard Lagrangian functions, the variational symmetries of the non-standard Lagrangian are also included in the Lie symmetries of the differential equation.

Higher-Order Nonlinear Schrodinger equation with derivative non-Kerr nonlinear terms: A model for sub-10fs pulse propagation

We analytically solved the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger (HNLS) equation with non-Kerr nonlinearity under some parametric conditions and investigated explicitly bright and dark solitary wave solutions. Periodic wave solutions are also presented. The functional form of the bright and dark solitons presented are different from fundamental known sech(.) and tanh(.) respectively. We have estimated theoretically the size of the derivative non-Kerr nonlinear coefficients of the HNLS equation that agreed the reality of the waveguide made of highly nonlinear optical materials, could be used as the model parameters for sub-10fs pulse propagation.

Dynamical systems theory for nonlinear evolution equations

We observe that the fully nonlinear evolution equations of Rosenau and Hymann, often abbreviated as $K(n,\,m)$ equations, can be reduced to Hamiltonian form only on a zero-energy hypersurface belonging to some potential function associated with the equations. We treat the resulting Hamiltonian equations by the dynamical systems theory and present a phase-space analysis of their stable points. The results of our study demonstrate that the equations can, in general, support both compacton and soliton solutions. For the $K(2,\,2)$ and $K(3,\,3)$ cases one type of solutions can be obtained from the other by continuously varying a parameter of the equations. This is not true for the $K(3,\,2)$ equation for which the parameter can take only negative values. The $K(2,\,3)$ equation does not have any stable point and, in the language of mechanics, represents a particle moving with constant acceleration.

Modified KdV hierarchy : Lax pair representation and bi-Hamiltonian structure

We consider equations in the modified KdV (mKdV) hierarchy and make use of the Miura transformation to construct expressions for their Lax pair. We derive a Lagrangian-based approach to study the bi-Hamiltonian structure of the mKdV equations. We also show that the complex modified KdV (cmKdV) equation follows from the action principle to have a Lagrangian representation. This representation not only provides a basis to write the cmKdV equation in the canonical form endowed with an appropriate Poisson structure but also help us construct a semianalytical solution of it. The solution obtained by us may serve as a useful guide for purely numerical routines which are currently being used to solve the cmKdV eqution.

Evolution equations for pulse propagation in nonlinear media

We show that the complex modified KdV (cmKdV) equation and generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (GNLS) equation belong to the Ablowitz, Kaup, Newell and Segur or so-called AKNS hierarchy. Both equations do not follow from the action principle and are nonintegrable. By introducing some auxiliary fields we obtain the variational principle for them and study their canonical structures. We make use of a coupled amplitude-phase method to solve the equations analytically and derive conditions under which they can support bright and dark solitary wave solutions.

On the supersymmetric nonlinear evolution equations

Supersymmetrization of a nonlinear evolution equation in which the bosonic equation is independent of the fermionic variable and the system is linear in fermionic field goes by the name B-supersymmetrization. This special type of supersymmetrization plays a role in superstring theory. We provide B-supersymmetric extension of a number of quasilinear and fully nonlinear evolution equations and find that the supersymmetric system follows from the usual action principle while the bosonic and fermionic equations are individually non Lagrangian in the field variable. We point out that B-supersymmetrization can also be realized using a generalized Noetherian symmetry such that the resulting set of Lagrangian symmetries coincides with symmetries of the bosonic field equations. This observation provides a basis to associate the bosonic and fermionic fields with the terms of bright and dark solitons. The interpretation sought by us has its origin in the classic work of Bateman who introduced a reverse-time system with negative friction to bring the linear dissipative systems within the framework of variational principle.

Lagrangian Approach to Dispersionless KdV Hierarchy

We derive a Lagrangian based approach to study the compatible Hamiltonian structure of the dispersionless KdV and supersymmetric KdV hierarchies and claim that our treatment of the problem serves as a very useful supplement of the so-called r-matrix method. We suggest specific ways to construct results for conserved densities and Hamiltonian operators. The Lagrangian formulation, via Noether's theorem, provides a method to make the relation between symmetries and conserved quantities more precise. We have exploited this fact to study the variational symmetries of the dispersionless KdV equation.

Remarks on the conserved densities of the Camassa-Holm equation

It is pointed out that the higher-order symmetries of the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation are nonlocal and nonlocality poses problems to obtain higher-order conserved densities for this integrable equation (J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 2005, {\bf 38} 869-880). This difficulty is circumvented by defining a nolinear hierarchy for the CH equation and an explicit expression is constructed for the nth-order conserved density.

On a Generalized Fifth-Order Integrable Evolution Equation and its Hierarchy

A general form of the fifth-order nonlinear evolution equation is considered. Helmholtz solution of the inverse variational problem is used to derive conditions under which this equation admits an analytic representation. A Lennard type recursion operator is then employed to construct a hierarchy of Lagrangian equations. It is explicitly demonstrated that the constructed system of equations has a Lax representation and two compatible Hamiltonian structures. The homogeneous balance method is used to derive analytic soliton solutions of the third- and fifth-order equations.
