Thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations are coupled non-linear integral equations which appear frequently when solving integrable models. Those associated with models with N=2 supersymmetry can be related to differential equations, among them…

We present a systematic study of higher-order Airy-type differential equations providing the explicit form of the solutions, deriving their power series expansions and a probabilistic interpretation. Under suitable convergence hypotheses,…

Using Riemann-Hilbert methods, we establish a Tracy-Widom like formula for the generating function of the occupancy numbers of the Pearcey process. This formula is linked to a coupled vector differential equation of order three. We also…

By a probabilistic method we provide an explicit fundamental solution of the Cauchy problem associated to the heat equation on the half-line with constant drift and Dirichlet boundary condition at zero.

We study the higher-order heat-type equation with first time and M-th spatial partial derivatives, M = 2, 3, ... . We demonstrate that its exact solutions for M even can be constructed with the help of signed Levy stable functions. For M…

A relevant result independently obtained by Rayleigh and Sneddon on an identity on series involving the zeros of Bessel functions of the first kind is derived by an alternative method based on Laplace transforms. Our method leads to a…

We introduce Rayleigh functional for nonlinear systems. It is defined using the energy functional and the normalization properties of the variables of variation. The key property of the Rayleigh quotient for linear systems is preserved in…

It is shown that the Rayleigh's dissipation function can be successfully applied in the solution of mechanical problems involving friction non-linear in the velocities. Through the study of surfaces at contact we arrive at a simple integral…

Algorithms for the computation of the real zeros of hypergeometric functions which are solutions of second order ODEs are described. The algorithms are based on global fixed point iterations which apply to families of functions satisfying…

The real and complex zeros of some special entire functions such as Wright, hyper-Bessel, and a special case of generalized hypergeometric functions are studied by using some classical results of Laguerre, Obreschkhoff, P\'olya and Runckel.…

In this work we find a solution to problem of the heat equation which is annihiliated at a cubic boundary $f$. The solution turns out to be the convolution between the fundamental solution of the heat equation and a function $\phi$ which…

We construct an explicit solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for certain diffusion-type equations with variable coefficients on the entire real line. The corresponding Green function (heat kernel) is given in terms of elementary…

We are concerned with the zeros of the Macdonald functions or the modified Bessel functions of the second kind with real index. By using the explicit expressions for the algebraic equations satisfied by the zeros, we describe the behavior…

Upper bounds on time-averaged heat transport are obtained for an eight-mode Galerkin truncation of Rayleigh's 1916 model of natural thermal convection. Bounds for the ODE model---an extension of Lorenz's three-ODE system---are derived by…

Treating a boundary value problem in analytical fluid dynamics, translation of 2D steady Navier-Stokes equations to ordinary differential form leads to a second order equation of Riccati type. In the case of a compressible fluid with…

We study the distribution of zeros of general solutions of the Airy and Bessel equations in the complex plane. Our results characterize the patterns followed by the zeros for any solution, in such a way that if one zero is known it is…

We consider a problem of finding vanishing at infinity $C^1([0,\oo))$-solutions to non-homogeneous system of linear ODEs which has the pole of first order at $x=0$. The resonant case where the corresponding homogeneous problem has…

This manuscript presents a novel and reliable third-order iterative procedure for computing the zeros of solutions to second-order ordinary differential equations. By approximating the solution of the related Riccati differential equation…

A perturbation series solution is constructed in terms of Airy functions for a nonlinear two-point boundary-value problem arising in an established model of steady electrodiffusion in one dimension, for two ionic species carrying equal and…

Self-similar solutions of the so called Airy equations, equivalent to the dispersionless nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation written in Madelung coordinates, are found and studied from the point of view of complete integrability and of their…
