Dynamics and soliton propagation in a modified Oskolkov equation: Phase plot insights

Abstract

This study explores the modified Oskolkov equation, which depicts the behavior of the incompressible viscoelastic Kelvin–Voigt fluid. The primary focus of this research lies in several key areas. Firstly, the Lie symmetries of the considered equation are identified. These symmetries are utilized to transform the discussed model into an ordinary differential equation. Analytical solutions are subsequently derived using the new auxiliary equation technique. Next, a comprehensive analysis of the equation’s dynamic nature is undertaken from multiple aspects. Bifurcation is carried out at fixed points within the system, and chaotic behavior is unveiled by introducing an external force to the dynamic system. Various tools, including 3D and 2D phase plots, time series, Poincaré maps, and multistability analysis, are employed to identify the chaotic nature of the system. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the model is explored across diverse initial conditions. In general, comprehending the dynamic characteristics of systems holds immense significance in forecasting outcomes and innovating new technologies.
