Abstract
This study focuses on the Whitham modulation theory of the fifth-order modified KdV equation (5mKdV), successfully deriving the solutions for modulated periodic waves and establishing corresponding Whitham equations. Through the detailed analysis of the initial step solution, the rarefaction waves and two types of dispersive shock wave structures are revealed. Our results not only enrich the theoretical system of the 5mKdV equation but also provide valuable theoretical support for the analysis and control of wave phenomena.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Applied Mathematics Letters is to provide a means of rapid publication for important but brief applied mathematical papers. The brief descriptions of any work involving a novel application or utilization of mathematics, or a development in the methodology of applied mathematics is a potential contribution for this journal. This journal''s focus is on applied mathematics topics based on differential equations and linear algebra. Priority will be given to submissions that are likely to appeal to a wide audience.
