Kink Wave Phenomena in the Nonlinear Partial Differential Equation Representing the Transmission Line Model of Microtubules for Nanoionic Currents

Abstract

This paper provides several new traveling wave solutions for a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) by applying symbolic computation and a new approach, the Riccati–Bernoulli sub-ODE method, in a computer algebra system. Herein, employing the Bäcklund transformation, we solve a nonlinear PDE associated with nanobiosciences and biophysics based on the transmission line model of microtubules for nanoionic currents. The equation introduced here in this form is suitable for critical nanoscience concerns like cell signaling and might continue to explain some of the basic cognitive functions in neurons. We employ advanced procedures to replicate the previously detected solitary waves. We offer our solutions in graphical forms, such as 3D and contour plots, using Mathematica. We can generalize the elementary method to other nonlinear equations in physics, requiring only a few steps.
