The application of the Kudryashov method for finding exact solutions of the high order nonlinear evolution equations is considered. Some classes of solitary wave solutions for the families of nonlinear evolution equations of fifth, sixth and seventh order are obtained. The efficiency of the Kudryashov method for finding exact solutions of the high order nonlinear evolution equations is demonstrated.

Nonlinear waves are studied in a mixture of liquid and gas bubbles. Influence of viscosity and heat transfer is taken into consideration on propagation of the pressure waves. Nonlinear evolution equations of the second and the third order for describing nonlinear waves in gas-liquid mixtures are derived. Exact solutions of these nonlinear evolution equations are found. Properties of nonlinear waves in a liquid with gas bubbles are discussed.

The Liénard equation is of a high importance from both mathematical and physical points of view. However a question about integrability of this equation has not been completely answered yet. Here we provide a new criterion for integrability of the Liénard equation using an approach based on nonlocal transformations. We also obtain some of previously known criteria for integrability of the Liénard equation as a straightforward consequences of our approach's application. We illustrate our results by several new examples of integrable Liénard equations.

Recently, an asymptotic solution of the Rayleigh equation for an empty bubble in $N$ dimensions has been obtained. Here we give the closed--from general analytical solution of this equation. We also find the general solution of the Rayleigh equation in $N$ dimensions for the case of a gas--filled hyperspherical bubble. In addition, we include a surface tension into consideration

The Rayleigh equation for bubble dynamics is widely used. However, analytical solutions of this equation have not been obtained previously. Here we find closed-form general solutions of the Rayleigh equation both for an empty and gas-filled spherical bubble. We present an approach allowing us to construct exact solutions of the Rayleigh equation. We show that our solutions are useful for testing numerical algorithms.

In this work we generalize the models for nonlinear waves in a gas-liquid mixture taking into account an interphase heat transfer, a surface tension and a weak liquid compressibility simultaneously at the derivation of the equations for nonlinear waves. We also take into consideration high order terms with respect to the small parameter. Two new nonlinear differential equations are derived for long weakly nonlinear waves in a liquid with gas bubbles by the reductive perturbation method considering both high order terms with respect to the small parameter and the above mentioned physical properties. One of these equations is the perturbation of the Burgers equation and corresponds to main influence of dissipation on nonlinear waves propagation. The other equation is the perturbation of the Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation and corresponds to main influence of dispersion on nonlinear waves propagation.

We study nonlinear dynamics of two coupled contrast agents that are micro-meter size gas bubbles encapsulated into a viscoelastic shell. Such bubbles are used for enhancing ultrasound visualization of blood flow and have other promising applications like targeted drug delivery and noninvasive therapy. Here we consider a model of two such bubbles interacting via the Bjerknes force and exposed to an external ultrasound field. We demonstrate that in this five-dimensional nonlinear dynamical system various types of complex dynamics can occur, namely, we observe periodic, quasi-periodic, chaotic and hypechaotic oscillations of bubbles. We study the bifurcation scenarios leading to the onset of both chaotic and hyperchaotic oscillations. We show that chaotic attractors in the considered system can appear via either Feigenbaum's cascade of period doubling bifurcations or Afraimovich-Shilnikov scenario of torus destruction. For the onset of hyperchaotic attractor we propose a new bifurcation scenario, which is based on the appearance of a homoclinic chaotic attractor containing a saddle-focus periodic orbit with its two-dimensional unstable manifold. Finally, we demonstrate that the bubbles' dynamics can be multistable, i.e. various combinations of co-existence of the above mentioned attractors are possible. These cases include co-existence of hyperchaotic regime with any of the other remaining types of dynamics for different parameter values. Thus, the model of two coupled gas bubbles provide a new examples of physically relevant system with multistable hyperchaos.
