Exploration of solitons and analytical solutions by sub-ODE and variational integrators to Klein-Gordon model

  • In this paper, we use the sub-ODE method to analyze soliton solutions for the renowned nonlinear Klein-Gordon model (NLKGM). This method provides a variety of soliton solutions, including three positive solitons, three Jacobian elliptic function solutions, bright solitons, dark solitons, periodic solitons, rational solitons and hyperbolic function solutions. Applications for these solitons can be found in optical communication, fiber optic sensors, plasma physics, Bose-Einstein condensation and other areas. We also study some numerical solutions by using forward, backward, and central difference techniques. Moreover, we discuss variational integrators (VIs) using the projection technique for NLKGM. We develop a numerical solution for NLKGM using the discrete Euler lagrange equation, the Lagrangian and the Euler lagrange equation. At the end, in various dimensions, covering 3D, 2D, and contour, we will also plot several graphs for the obtained NLKGM solutions. A contour plot is a type of graphic representation that displays a three-dimensional surface on a two-dimensional plane by using contour lines. Each contour line in the plotted function represents one of the function's constant values, mapping the function's value across the plane. This model has been studied across multiple soliton solutions using various methods in the open literature, but this model for VIs and finite deference scheme (FDS) is the first time it has been studied. Within the various numerical techniques accessible for solving Hamiltonian systems, variational integrators distinguish themselves because of their symplectic quality. Here are some of the symplectic properties: symplectic orthogonality, energy conservation, area preservation, and structure preservation.

    The count data sets emerge in various fields like the yearly number of destructive earthquakes, number of patients of a specific disease in a hospital ward, failure of machines, number of patients due to coronavirus, number of monthly traffic accidents, hourly bacterial growth, and so on. Various discrete probability models have been utilized to model these kinds of data sets. Poisson and negative binomial distributions are frequently for modeling count observations. On the other hand, in the advanced scientific eon, the data generated from different fields is getting complex day by day, however, existing discrete models do not provide an efficient fit.

    Discretization of continuous distribution can be applied by using different approaches (survival discretization-mixed-Poisson-infinite series). The most widely used technique is the survival discretization approach by [1]. One of the important virtues of this methodology is that the generated discrete model retains the same functional form of the survival function as that of its continuous counterpart. Due to this feature, many survival characteristics of the distribution remain unchanged. The discretization approach to any continuous model depends on the domain of the random variable X. In literature, several discrete distributions are introduced and studied based on the discretization survival function. See for example, discrete Rayleigh [2], discrete a mixture of gamma and exponential [3], discrete Burr and Pareto [4], discrete Rayleigh generator [5], discrete Lindley [6], discrete Burr-XII [7], discrete Burr III [8], two-parameter discrete Lindley [9], discrete log-logistic [10], discrete Gompertz [11], discrete alpha power inverse Lomax [12], discrete Poisson and Ailamujia [13], discrete Half-Logistic [14], discrete Marshall-Olkin Weibull [15], discrete Gompertz-G family [16], discrete Burr-Hatke [17], three-parameter discrete Lindley [18], new discrete Lindley [19], exponentiated discrete Lindley [20], discrete generalized Lindley [21], discrete Gumble [22], discrete inverted Topp-Leone [23], and references cited therein.

    Although various distributions are available in literate to analyze count observations, there is still a need to introduce a more flexible and suitable distribution under different conditions. The fundamental purpose of this paper is to propose discrete Ramos-Louzada distribution, which is a one-parameter lifetime distribution introduced by [24]. The proposed one-parameter distribution herein has distinctive properties which makes it among the best choice for modeling over-dispersed and positively skewed data with leptokurtic-shaped. A continuous random variable X is said to have Ramos-Louzada distribution if its probability density function (pdf) can be written as

    g(x;λ)=1λ2(λ1)(λ22λ+x)exλ;x0,λ2, (1)

    where λ is the shape parameter. The corresponding survival function (sf) to Eq (1) can be formulated as

    G(x;λ)=λ2λ+xλ(λ1)exλ;x0,λ2. (2)

    In this article, the discrete version of Ramos and Louzada distribution is proposed and studied in detail. The following are some interesting features of the proposed distribution: Its statistical and reliability characteristics can be expressed as closed forms. Its failure rate is showing an increasing pattern. The suggested distribution evaluated time and count data sets more effectively than competing distributions. As a result, we feel that the proposed model is the greatest option for attracting a wider range of applications and industries.

    The rest of the study is organized as follows: In Section 2, we introduce a new distribution using survival discretization methodology. Different mathematical properties are derived in Section 3. Parameter estimation and simulation study are presented in Section 4. Four data sets are utilized to show the flexibility of the proposed model in Section 5. Finally, Section 6 provides some conclusions.

    Let Y be a continuous random variable with sf G(y;η), then the pmf of the discrete random variable X=Y can be expressed as

    Pr(X=x;η)=G(x;η)G(x+1;η);xZ+,

    where denotes the floor function, which returns the highest integer value smaller or equal than its argument, and η is a parameter vector 1×k. If the random variable Y have Ramos-Louzada (RL) distribution, then the pmf of discrete RL (DRL) distribution can be written as

    Pr(X=x;λ)=p(x;λ)=exλλ(λ1)[(λ2λ+x)(1e1λ)e1λ];x=0,1,2,, (3)

    where λ2 is the shape parameter. The pmf p(x+1;λ) can be expressed as a weight from the pmf p(x;λ) as follows

    p(x+1;λ)=e1λ[(λ2λ+x+1)(1e1λ)e1λ][(λ2λ+x)(1e1λ)e1λ]p(x;λ).

    Figure 1 illustrates some pmf plots of the DRL models based on different values of the model parameter λ. It is found that the pmf can be used a positively skewed data with a uni-modal shape.

    Figure 1.  The pmf plots of the DRL distribution.

    Based on F(x;λ)=Pr(Xx;λ)=1G(x;λ)+Pr(X=x;λ), the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the DRL distribution can be formulated as

    F(x;λ)=1λ2λ+x+1λ(λ1)ex+1λ;x=0,1,2,. (4)

    The corresponding sf to Eq (4) can be expressed as

    S(x;λ)=λ2λ+xλ(λ1)exλ;x=0,1,2,. (5)

    The hazard rate function (hrf) of the DRL model is given by

    h(x;λ)=(λ2λ+x)(1e1λ)e1λ(λ2λ+x);x=0,1,2,, (6)

    where h(x;λ)=Pr(X=x;λ)1F(x1;λ). Mathematically, the shape of the hrf of the DRL model is always increasing, which makes it an effective statistical tool for modeling data, especially in the engineering and medical fields. Figure 2 shows the hrf plots of the new discrete model based on various values of the model parameter.

    Figure 2.  The hrf plots of the DRL distribution.

    The reversed hazard rate function (rhrf) and the second rate of failure are given as

    ˘r=exλ[(λ2λ+x)(1e1λ)e1λ]λ(λ1)(λ2λ+x+1)ex+1λ;x=0,1,2, (7)

    and

    r(x)=log[(λ2λ+x)e1λλ2λ+x+1];x=0,1,2,, (8)

    where ˘r=Pr(X=x;λ)F(x;λ) and r(x)=log[S(x;λ)S(x+1;λ)]. Mathematically, and after simple algebra steps, it is found that the shape of the rhrf of the DRL model is decreasing only. Figure 3 shows some rhrf plots of the proposed model based on specific parameter values.

    Figure 3.  The rhrf plots of the DRL distribution.

    In this Section, the probability generating function (pgf) as well as its rth moment are investigated. Assume the random variable X have a DRL model, then the pgf can be expressed as

    WX(z)=x=0zxPr(X=x;λ)=1+(z1)x=1zx1S(x;λ)=1+e1λ(z1)[1(1ze1λ)+1λ(λ1)(1ze1λ)2]. (9)

    On replacing z by ez in Eq (9), the moment generating function (mgf) can be written as

    MX(z)=1+e1λ(ez1)[1(1eze1λ)+1λ(λ1)(1eze1λ)2]. (10)

    The first four moments around the origin (μ'1,μ'2,μ'3,μ'4) can be written as

    μ'1=λλ2+(λ2λ+1)e1λλ(λ1)(e1λ1)2,
    μ'2=(λ(λ1)+1)e2λ+3e1λλ(λ1)λ(λ1)(e1λ1)3,
    μ'3=[λ(λ1)+1]e3λ+[3λ(λ1)+10]e2λ[3λ(λ1)7]e1λλ(λ1)λ(λ1)(e1λ1)4

    and

    μ'4=[λ(λ1)+1]e4λ+[10λ(λ1)+25]e3λ+67e2λ+[10λ(λ1)3]e1λλ(λ1)λ(λ1)(e1λ1)5.

    Based on the rth moments, the variance can be expressed as

    σ2=[λ42λ3+2λ2λ]e3λ[2λ44λ3+2λ21]e2λ+[λ42λ3+λ]e1λλ2(λ1)2(e1λ1)4. (11)

    The dispersion index (di) is defined by variance to mean ratio. The di indicates that the reported model is suitable for under-, equi- or over-dispersed data sets. Using the derived moments, the coefficients skewness and kurtosis can be listed in closed forms. Some numerical computations for mean, variance, di, skewness, and kurtosis based on DRL parameters are listed in Table 1.

    According to Table 1, it is noted that the DRL model can be used effectively to model overdispersion data as di is greater than one, which makes it a proper probability tool to discuss actuarial data. Moreover, the new discrete probabilistic model can be utilized to analyze positively skewed data with leptokurtic-shaped.

    In this section, six estimation methods are used to estimate the unknown parameter of DRL distribution. The considered estimation methods are maximum likelihood estimation (mle), method of moments (mom), least-squares estimation (lse), Anderson-Darling estimation (ade), Cramer von-Misses estimation (cvme), and maximum product of spacing estimator (mpse).

    Assume a random sample x1,x2,,xn from the DRL model, then the log-likelihood function can be expressed as

    L(λ|x)=1λni=1xi+ni=1ln[(λ2λ+xi)(1e1λ)e1λ]nlnλnln(λ1). (12)

    Differentiating the Eq (12) with respect to the parameter λ, we get the non-linear equation as follows

    L(λ|x)λ=1λ2ni=1xi+ni=1[(2λ1)(1e1λ)(11λ+1λ2+xiλ2)e1λ][(λ2λ+xi)(1e1λ)e1λ]nλnλ1, (13)

    the exact solution of Eq (13) is not easy, so we will maximize it by using optimization approaches, for example, the Newton-Raphson approach using R software.

    Based on the mom definition, we must equate the sample mean to the corresponding population mean, and then solve the non-linear equation for the parameter

    λλ2+(λ2λ+1)e1λλ(λ1)(e1λ1)2=1nni=1xi. (14)

    To solve Eq (14), the uniroot function should be utilized.

    To estimate the parameter minimizing the sum of squares of residuals, a standard approach like the lse should be used. For the estimation of the parameter of DRL distribution, the lse can be obtained by minimizing

    lse(λ)=ni=1[1(λ2λ+xi:n)λ(λ1)exi:n+1λin+2]2, (15)

    with respect to the parameter λ.

    The ade of the parameter can be derived by minimizing the following equation

    ade(λ)=n1nni=1(2i1)[log(1(λ2λ+xi:n)λ(λ1)exi:n+1λ)+log((λ2λ+xi:n)λ(λ1)exi:n+1λ)]2, (16)

    with respect to the parameter λ.

    The cvme is an estimation method. This method is derived as the difference between the empirical cdf and fitted cdf where

    cvme(λ)=112n+ni=1[1(λ2λ+xi:n)λ(λ1)exi:n+1λ2i12n]2. (17)

    For u=1,2,3,,h+1, assume Du(λ)=F(x(u)|λ)F(x(u1)|λ), be the uniform spacings of a random sample from the DRL model, where F(x(0)|λ)=0, F(x(h+1)|λ)=1 and h+1r=1Du(λ)=1. The mpse of the parameter λ, say ˆλ, can be estimated by maximizing the geometric mean of the spacings

    mpse(λ)=[h+1u=1Du(λ)]1h+1, (18)

    with respect to the parameter λ.

    In this section, we discussed the results of the simulation study to compare the estimation performance of the proposed estimators based on the DRL model. The performance of considered estimators is evaluated via absolute biases and mean square errors. We simulate 10,000 random samples from the DRL distribution using the following sample sizes n=10,20,50,100,200, and 500. The results calculated for parameter values λ=(2.0,2.5,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,8.0,10.0) using R Software. The absolute bias and mse for the parameter λ are presented in Tables 2 and 3.

    Based on the simulation criteria, it is observed that all estimation approaches work quite well in estimating the parameter λ of the DRL distribution.

    In this section, the importance of the proposed distribution is discussed by using data sets from different areas. We shall compare the fits of the DRL distribution with different competitive distributions such as Poisson (Poi), discrete Pareto (DPr), discrete Rayleigh (DR), discrete inverse Rayleigh (DIR), discrete Burr-Hatke (DBH), discrete Bilal (DBi), discrete Lindley (DL), new discrete Lindley (NDL), and discrete Burr-XII (DBXII) distributions. The fitted probability distributions are compared using some criteria, namely, the negative log-likelihood (L), Akaike information criterion (aic), and Kolmogorov-Smirnov (ks) test with its p-value.

    The first data set represents the number of deaths due to coronavirus in Pakistan during the period March 18, 2020, to April 30, 2020, which were obtained from the public reports of the National Institute of Health (NIH), Islamabad, Pakistan (https://covid.gov.pk/stats/pakistan).

    In this article, a new one-parameter discrete model has been proposed entitled a discrete Ramos-Louzada (DRL) distribution. The new model can be used effectively in modeling asymmetric data with overdispersion phenomena. Some of its statistical properties have been derived. It was found that all its properties can be expressed in closed forms, which makes the new model can be utilized in different analysis, especially, in time series and regression. Various estimation techniques including maximum likelihood, moments, least squares, Anderson's-Darling, Cramer von-Mises, and maximum product of spacing estimator, have been investigated to get the best estimator for the real data. The estimation performance of these estimation techniques has been assessed via a comprehensive simulation study. The flexibility of the proposed discrete model has been tested utilizing four distinctive real data sets in various fields. Finally, we hope that the DRL distribution attracts wider sets of applications in different fields.

    The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest to report regarding the present study.
