It also applies a changing magnetic field to the circular, porous, stretched sheet. The similarity transformation transforms the nonlinear controlling boundary layer partial differential equations (PDEs) of momentum, temperature and concentration into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The MATLAB bvp4c method then numerically solves the ODEs. We use graphs to illustrate the variations in flow, heat and concentration profiles resulting from various problem-related parameters, such as the Weissenberg number, magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, heat source, Eckert number, Soret number, Dufour number, radiation, temperature ratio, activation energy and chemical reaction parameters. We showed the effects on the skin friction coefficient, heat and mass transfer rate using tables for various values. When the porosity parameter, magnetic parameter and Weissenberg number increase, the fluid velocity drops. The temperature of the fluid increases as the Weissenberg number rises. As the activation energy parameter increases, the concentration profile increases. When compared to previous studies, the new results are considered quite good. Additionally, this work offers an intuitive explanation of the nonlinear radiation events in the Williamson fluid. With the ability to increase thermo-fluid flow system efficiency, the Williamson fluid has several applications in food industry, biomedicine and engineering appliances.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":743,"journal":{"name":"Pramana","volume":"99 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145143698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome these complexities, we propose a comprehensive model encompassing non-constant edge establishment driven by mixed attachment and reciprocal mechanisms. This extension offers a more accurate representation of real-world networks. Utilising various discrete probability distributions, including Poisson, binomial, zeta and log-series, our model accommodates variations in the number of new edges, providing a realistic depiction of network evolution. Analytical expressions for the limit in- and out-degree distributions and evolving dynamics of cumulative complementary in- and out-degree distributions are derived. These findings enable a detailed assessment of each mechanism’s contribution to the head and tail of the in- and out-degree distributions. Furthermore, we validate the practical relevance of our model by fitting it to real-world networks, emphasising the impact of the number of new edges and reciprocity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":743,"journal":{"name":"Pramana","volume":"99 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145165913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also obtain the interaction between two-soliton solutions utilising this technique. Initially, we have shown that the CBS passes the Painlevé test for integrability. Then, we derive the auto-Bäcklund transformation for CBS through the truncated Painlevé expansion. Next, we observe the interaction and propagation behaviours of multi-soliton solutions for CBS using the HBM. The existence of multi-soliton solutions establishes that the CBS is also integrable in the Hirota sense. Interestingly, we observe that the HBM offers a more comprehensive framework for exploring diverse interactions between bright solitons and dark solitons, compared to the auto-Bäcklund approach. The multi-solitons and solitary waves with lump excitation obtained in this study can be used to describe surface water waves, while the kink wave and multi-shock waves represent topological changes in the water surface modelled by the CBS.
