Abstract:
In this paper, we consider the real modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation and construct a special kind of breather solution, which can be obtained by taking the limit λj → λ1 of the Lax pair eigenvalues used in the n-fold Darboux transformation that generates the order-n periodic solution from a constant seed solution. Further, this special kind of breather solution of order n can be used to generate the order-n rational solution by taking the limit λ1 → λ0, where λ0 is a special eigenvalue associated with the eigenfunction ϕ of the Lax pair of the mKdV equation. This eigenvalue λ0, for which ϕ(λ0)=0, corresponds to the limit of infinite period of the periodic solution. Our analytical and numerical results show the effective mechanism of generation of higher-order rational solutions of the mKdV equation from the double eigenvalue degeneration process of multi-periodic solutions.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...

Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
