Moving boundary problems with Ermakov symmetry reduction: nonlinear superposition principle and reciprocal transformation applications
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Moving boundary problems of Stefan-type for a novel third order nonlinear evolution equation with temporal modulation are here shown to be amenable to exact Airy-type solution via a classical Ermakov equation with its admitted nonlinear superposition principle. Application of the latter together with a class of involutory transformations sets the original moving boundary problem in a wide class with temporal modulation. As an appendix, reciprocally associated exactly solvable moving boundary problems are derived. 11 pages
