Abstract
In this paper, we consider wave breaking problem for a simple wave propagating along a stationary medium with its profile characterized by a power function with account of quintic nonlinearity. Based on Whitham modulation theory, the dispersive shock wave (DSW) can be approximately represented as a modulated periodic solution with correct phase shift. The motion laws of the DSWs during wave breaking via two types of singularities at the soliton edge and small-amplitude edge can be analyzed separately.
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.
