The element-free Galerkin （EFG） method is used in this paper to find the numerical solution to a regularized long-wave （RLW） equation. The Galerkin weak form is adopted to obtain the discrete equations, and the essential boundary conditions are imposed by the penalty method. The effectiveness of the EFG method of solving the RLW equation is investigated by two numerical examples in this paper.
In this paper,we analyse the equal width（EW） wave equation by using the mesh-free reproducing kernel particle Ritz（kp-Ritz） method.The mesh-free kernel particle estimate is employed to approximate the displacement field.A system of discrete equations is obtained through the application of the Ritz minimization procedure to the energy expressions.The effectiveness of the kp-Ritz method for the EW wave equation is investigated by numerical examples in this paper.
The element-free Galerkin （EFG） method for numerically solving the compound Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers （KdVB） equation is discussed in this paper. The Galerkin weak form is used to obtain the discrete equation and the essential boundary conditions are enforced by the penalty method. The effectiveness of the EFG method of solving the compound Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers （KdVB） equation is illustrated by three numerical examples.
In this paper, we analyze the generalized Camassa and Holm （CH） equation by the improved element-free Galerkin （IEFG） method. By employing the improved moving least-square （IMLS） approximation, we derive the formulas for the generalized CH equation with the IEFG method. A variational method is used to obtain the discrete equations, and the essential boundary conditions are enforced by the penalty method. Because there are fewer coefficients in the IMLS approximation than in the MLS approximation, and in the IEFG method, fewer nodes are selected in the entire domain than in the conventional EFG method, the IEFG method should result in a higher computing speed. The effectiveness of the IEFG method for the generalized CH equation is investigated by numerical examples in this paper.
A thermodynamic theory is formulated to describe the phase transition and critical phenomena in pedestrian flow. Based on the extended lattice hydrodynamic pedestrian model taking the interaction of the next-nearest-neighbor persons into account, the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau （TDGL） equation is derived to describe the pedestrian flow near the critical point through the nonlinear analysis method. The corresponding two solutions, the uniform and the kink solutions, are given. The coexisting curve, spinodal line, and critical point are obtained by the first and second derivatives of the thermodynamic potential.
The present paper deals with the numerical solution of the coupled Schrodinger-KdV equations using the elementfree Galerkin （EFG） method which is based on the moving least-square approximation. Instead of traditional mesh oriented methods such as the finite difference method （FDM） and the finite element method （FEM）, this method needs only scattered nodes in the domain. For this scheme, a variational method is used to obtain discrete equations and the essential boundary conditions are enforced by the penalty method. In numerical experiments, the results are presented and compared with the findings of the finite element method, the radial basis functions method, and an analytical solution to confirm the good accuracy of the presented scheme.
