    Derivation of generalized Camassa-Holm equations from Boussinesq-type equations
    (Informa Group, 2016) Erbay, Hüsnü Ata; Erbay, Saadet; Erkip, A.; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; ERBAY, Hüsnü Ata; ERBAY, Saadet
    In this paper we derive generalized forms of the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation from a Boussinesq-type equation using a two-parameter asymptotic expansion based on two small parameters characterizing nonlinear and dispersive effects and strictly following the arguments in the asymptotic derivation of the classical CH equation. The resulting equations generalize the CH equation in two different ways. The first generalization replaces the quadratic nonlinearity of the CH equation with a general power-type nonlinearity while the second one replaces the dispersive terms of the CH equation with fractional-type dispersive terms. In the absence of both higher-order nonlinearities and fractional-type dispersive effects, the generalized equations derived reduce to the classical CH equation that describes unidirectional propagation of shallow water waves. The generalized equations obtained are compared to similar equations available in the literature, and this leads to the observation that the present equations have not appeared in the literature.

    Thresholds for global existence and blow-up in a general class of doubly dispersive nonlocal wave equations
    (Elsevier, 2014-01) Erbay, Hüsnü Ata; Erbay, Saadet; Erkip, A.; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; ERBAY, Hüsnü Ata; ERBAY, Saadet
    In this paper we study the global existence and blow-up of solutions for a general class of nonlocal nonlinear wave equations with power-type nonlinearities, View the MathML source, where the nonlocality enters through two pseudo-differential operators L and B. We establish thresholds for global existence versus blow-up using the potential well method which relies essentially on the ideas suggested by Payne and Sattinger. Our results improve the global existence and blow-up results given in the literature for the present class of nonlocal nonlinear wave equations and cover those given for many well-known nonlinear dispersive wave equations such as the so-called double-dispersion equation and the traditional Boussinesq-type equations, as special cases.

    A comparison of solutions of two convolution-type unidirectional wave equations
    (Taylor and Francis, 2023) Erbay, Hüsnü Ata; Erbay, Saadet; Erkip, A.; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; ERBAY, Hüsnü Ata; ERBAY, Saadet
    In this work, we prove a comparison result for a general class of nonlinear dispersive unidirectional wave equations. The dispersive nature of one-dimensional waves occurs because of a convolution integral in space. For two specific choices of the kernel function, the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation and the Rosenau equation that are particularly suitable to model water waves and elastic waves, respectively, are two members of the class. We first prove an energy estimate for the Cauchy problem of the non-local unidirectional wave equation. Then, for the same initial data, we consider two distinct solutions corresponding to two different kernel functions. Our main result is that the difference between the solutions remains small in a suitable Sobolev norm if the two kernel functions have similar dispersive characteristics in the long-wave limit. As a sample case of this comparison result, we provide the approximations of the hyperbolic conservation law.

    Traveling waves in one-dimensional non-linear models of strain-limiting viscoelasticity
    (Elsevier, 2015-12) Erbay, Hüsnü Ata; Şengül, Yasemin; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; ERBAY, Hüsnü Ata; ŞENGÜL, Yasemin
    In this paper we investigate traveling wave solutions of a non-linear differential equation describing the behaviour of one-dimensional viscoelastic medium with implicit constitutive relations. We focus on a subclass of such models known as the strain-limiting models introduced by Rajagopal. To describe the response of viscoelastic solids we assume a non-linear relationship among the linearized strain, the strain rate and the Cauchy stress. We then concentrate on traveling wave solutions that correspond to the heteroclinic connections between the two constant states. We establish conditions for the existence of such solutions, and find those solutions, explicitly, implicitly or numerically, for various forms of the non-linear constitutive relation.

    Unidirectional wave motion in a nonlocally and nonlinearly elastic medium: The KdV, BBM and CH equations
    (Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2015) Erbay, Hüsnü Ata; Erbay, Saadet; Erkip, A.; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; ERBAY, Hüsnü Ata; ERBAY, Saadet
    We consider unidirectional wave propagation in a nonlocally and nonlinearly elastic medium whose constitutive equation is given by a convolution integral with a suitable kernel function. We first give a brief review of asymptotic wave models describing the unidirectional propagation of small-but-finite amplitude long waves. When the kernel function is the well-known exponential kernel, the asymptotic description is provided by the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony (BBM) equation, or the Camassa–Holm (CH) equation. When the Fourier transform of the kernel function has fractional powers, it turns out that fractional forms of these equations describe unidirectional propagation of the waves. We then compare the exact solutions of the KdV equation and the BBM equation with the numerical solutions of the nonlocal model. We observe that the solution of the nonlocal model is well approximated by associated solutions of the KdV equation and the BBM equation over the time interval considered.

    A thermodynamically consistent stress-rate type model of one-dimensional strain-limiting viscoelasticity
    (Springer Nature, 2020-05-28) Erbay, Hüsnü Ata; Sengul, Y.; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; ERBAY, Hüsnü Ata
    We introduce a one-dimensional stress-rate type nonlinear viscoelastic model for solids that obey the assumptions of the strain-limiting theory. Unlike the classical viscoelasticity theory, the critical hypothesis in the present strain-limiting theory is that the linearized strain depends nonlinearly on the stress and the stress rate. We show the thermodynamic consistency of the model using the complementary free energy and then using the Gibbs free energy. This allows us to take the stress and the stress rate as primitive variables instead of kinematical quantities such as deformation or strain. We also show that the non-dissipative part of the materials in consideration has a stored energy. We compare the new stress-rate type model with the strain-rate type viscoelastic model due to Rajagopal from the points of view of energy decay, the nonlinear differential equations of motion and Fourier analysis of the corresponding linear models.

    Convergence of a semi-discrete numerical method for a class of nonlocal nonlinear wave equations
    (EDP Sciences, 2018-09-13) Erbay, Hüsnü Ata; Erbay, Saadet; Erkip, A.; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; ERBAY, Hüsnü Ata; ERBAY, Saadet
    In this article, we prove the convergence of a semi-discrete numerical method applied to a general class of nonlocal nonlinear wave equations where the nonlocality is introduced through the convolution operator in space. The most important characteristic of the numerical method is that it is directly applied to the nonlocal equation by introducing the discrete convolution operator. Starting from the continuous Cauchy problem defined on the real line, we first construct the discrete Cauchy problem on a uniform grid of the real line. Thus the semi-discretization in space of the continuous problem gives rise to an infinite system of ordinary differential equations in time. We show that the initial-value problem for this system is well-posed. We prove that solutions of the discrete problem converge uniformly to those of the continuous one as the mesh size goes to zero and that they are second-order convergent in space. We then consider a truncation of the infinite domain to a finite one. We prove that the solution of the truncated problem approximates the solution of the continuous problem when the truncated domain is sufficiently large. Finally, we present some numerical experiments that confirm numerically both the expected convergence rate of the semi-discrete scheme and the ability of the method to capture finite-time blow-up of solutions for various convolution kernels.

    Long-time existence of solutions to nonlocal nonlinear bidirectional wave equations
    (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2019-05) Erbay, Hüsnü Ata; Erbay, Saadet; Erkip, A.; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; ERBAY, Hüsnü Ata; ERBAY, Saadet
    We consider the Cauchy problem defined for a general class of nonlocal wave equations modeling bidirectional wave propagation in a nonlocally and nonlinearly elastic medium whose constitutive equation is given by a convolution integral. We prove a long-time existence result for the nonlocal wave equations with a power-type nonlinearity and a small parameter. As the energy estimates involve a loss of derivatives, we follow the Nash-Moser approach proposed by Alvarez-Samaniego and Lannes. As an application to the long-time existence theorem, we consider the limiting case in which the kernel function is the Dirac measure and the nonlocal equation reduces to the governing equation of one-dimensional classical elasticity theory. The present study also extends our earlier result concerning local well-posedness for smooth kernels to nonsmooth kernels.

    The Camassa-Holm equation as the long-wave limit of the improved Boussinesq equation and of a class of nonlocal wave equations
    (AIMS, 2016-11) Erbay, Hüsnü Ata; Erbay, Saadet; Erkip, A.; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; ERBAY, Hüsnü Ata; ERBAY, Saadet
    In the present study we prove rigorously that in the long-wave limit, the unidirectional solutions of a class of nonlocal wave equations to which the improved Boussinesq equation belongs are well approximated by the solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation over a long time scale. This general class of nonlocal wave equations model bidirectional wave propagation in a nonlocally and nonlinearly elastic medium whose constitutive equation is given by a convolution integral. To justify the Camassa-Holm approximation we show that approximation errors remain small over a long time interval. To be more precise, we obtain error estimates in terms of two independent, small, positive parameters \epsilon and \delta measuring the effect of nonlinearity and dispersion, respectively. We further show that similar conclusions are also valid for the lower order approximations: the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony approximation and the Korteweg-de Vries approximation.

    Some remarks on the stability and instability properties of solitary waves for the double dispersion equation
    (Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2015) Erbay, Hüsnü Ata; Erbay, Saadet; Erkip, A.; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; ERBAY, Hüsnü Ata; ERBAY, Saadet
    In this article we give a review of our recent results on the instability and stability properties of travelling wave solutions of the double dispersion equation utt − uxx + auxxxx − buxxtt = −(|u|p−1u)xx for p > 1, a ≥ b > 0. After a brief reminder of the general class of nonlocal wave equations to which the double dispersion equation belongs, we summarize our findings for both the existence and orbital stability/instability of travelling wave solutions to the general class of nonlocal wave equations. We then state (i) the conditions under which travelling wave solutions of the double dispersion equation are unstable by blow-up and (ii) the conditions under which the travelling waves are orbitally stable. We plot the instability/stability regions in the plane defined by wave velocity and the quotient b/a for various values of p.
