Recent work [S. O. Bilson-Thompson, e-print arXiv:hep-th/0503213; Bilson-Thompson et al., Class. Quantum Grav. 24, 3975 (2007)] suggests that topological features of certain quantum gravity theories c...

On the application of a generalized dressing method to the integration of variable-coefficient coupled Hirota equations
Based on the generalized dressing method, we propose two variable-coefficient coupled Hirota equations and derive their Lax pairs. The generalized dressing method is applied to study these variable-co...

A viscoelastic wave equation in canonical form with weakly nonlinear time-dependent dissipation and source terms is investigated in this paper. For a wider class of relaxation functions and without imposing any restrictive growth assumption on the damping term at the origin, we establish an explicit and general energy decay rate result. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
