The critical energy constant is of significant interest for the theoretical and numerical analysis of Boussinesq type equations. In the one-dimensional case this constant is evaluated exactly. In this paper we propose a method for numerical evaluation of this constant in the multi-dimensional cases by computing the ground state. Aspects of the numerical implementation are discussed and many numerical results are demonstrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
In this paper, we numerically investigate the dynamics of the solitary waves in the presence of damping and external stochastic forces for the improved Boussinesq equation. The hydrodynamical and Stokes damping will be considered respectively. Since the analytic solutions for the considered problems are not available, Monte Carlo method will be used in random space and finite volume element method will be used in physical space. Numerical results demonstrate that solitary wave profile is not strongly affected by the Gaussian white noise in our study. The average of the velocity of the solitary waves is very close to that for the deterministic case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
