The study of nonlinear evolution equations has garnered considerable attention across diverse scientific and engineering disciplines due to their effectiveness in representing intricate phenomena [1]. Among these equations, the nonlinear Peyrard-Bishop DNA dynamic model stands out, designed to elucidate the behavior of DNA molecules by accounting for hydrogen bonds between base pairs and stacking interactions among adjacent base pairs [2]. Obtaining analytical solutions for nonlinear evolution equations presents a formidable challenge, and the Peyrard-Bishop model is no exception. While numerical and computational techniques have been instrumental in investigating this model, analytical solutions offer deeper insights into its underlying dynamics, thereby fostering a more comprehensive understanding of DNA behavior [3].
The primary objective of this study is to construct analytical solutions for the Peyrard-Bishop DNA dynamic model using the Khater Ⅲ and enhanced Kudryashov methods. Additionally, the stability of these solutions will be scrutinized through Hamiltonian system characterization [4,5]. The analytical solutions and stability analysis of the Peyrard-Bishop model hold promise for advancing biophysics and enhancing our comprehension of DNA dynamics [6]. These findings carry potential implications for various domains, including drug design, gene therapy, and molecular biology, where a profound understanding of DNA behavior is indispensable [7]. Previous investigations into the Peyrard-Bishop model have employed diverse methodologies. Numerical simulations have shed light on its behavior under various conditions [8], while perturbation methods and analytical approaches have yielded approximate solutions [9]. However, the quest for exact analytical solutions and their stability analysis remains an active area of research.
This study focuses exclusively on the nonlinear Peyrard-Bishop DNA dynamic model and its analytical solutions derived through the Khater Ⅲ and enhanced Kudryashov methods. The analysis is delimited to stability assessments via Hamiltonian system characterization, with other aspects such as model applications or extensions lying beyond the study's scope [10]. The nonlinear Peyrard-Bishop DNA dynamic model stands as a critical tool in biophysics, offering insights into DNA dynamics and responses to external forces such as denaturation and thermal fluctuations [11]. Through analytical techniques, researchers can uncover exact solutions that unveil the intricate dynamics of DNA molecules, facilitating a deeper comprehension of the model's behavior and enabling the development of more accurate simulations and predictions [12,13]. Additionally, stability analysis of the obtained solutions is crucial for understanding the model's robustness and reliability under various conditions[14,15].
The Peyrard-Bishop model shares similarities with other well-known nonlinear evolution equations, such as the sine-Gordon equation, the modified Khater method, and the Khater Ⅱ model, yet it incorporates additional terms and parameters tailored to elucidate DNA dynamics [16,17]. This unique feature distinguishes it and allows for a more accurate representation of DNA behavior amidst a complex array of interactions and properties [18].
The Peyrard-Bishop DNA dynamic model can be expressed in various forms, each capturing specific aspects of DNA dynamics [19]. The original form, proposed by Peyrard and Bishop in 1989, incorporates terms representing stacking interactions between adjacent base pairs and hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs [20]. Alternatively, a dimensionless form is often employed to simplify analysis, rescaling variables and parameters for more general interpretations [21]. Despite variations in form, the underlying physics and dynamics described by the model remain consistent. The original formulation of the Peyrard-Bishop DNA dynamic model is represented by the following nonlinear partial differential equation [22]:
M∂2yn∂t2=V′(yn+1−yn)−V′(yn−yn−1)+W′(yn). | (1.1) |
Here, the equation characterizes the dynamics of a one-dimensional chain of base pairs, where yn denotes the displacement of the n-th base pair from its equilibrium position at time t [23]. The distinct terms within the equation depict the various interactions and forces acting on the base pairs [24]:
● M∂2yn∂t2: This term signifies the inertial force acting on the n-th base pair, where M represents the reduced mass of a base pair.
● V′(yn+1−yn) and V′(yn−yn−1): These terms denote the stacking interactions between adjacent base pairs, originating from the π-π stacking interactions between the aromatic rings of neighboring base pairs. The function V(r) denotes the Morse potential, which models the stacking interactions, and V′(r) represents its derivative with respect to the relative displacement r.
● W′(yn): This term encompasses the hydrogen bonding interactions between complementary base pairs within the same base pair. The function W(r) denotes an anharmonic potential modeling the hydrogen bond interactions, with W′(r) representing its derivative with respect to the displacement r.
The Morse potential and the anharmonic potential typically assume the following forms [25]:
V(r)=Z[exp(−a(r−r0))−1]2,W(r)=ρ[exp(−αr)−1]2, |
where Z,a,r0,ρ, and α are parameters determining the strength and shape of the potentials. The Peyrard-Bishop model integrates these terms to encapsulate the fundamental interactions that govern the dynamics of DNA molecules [26]. The interplay between inertial forces, stacking interactions, and hydrogen bonding interactions gives rise to the observed complex behaviors in DNA, including the formation of breathers (localized, oscillating modes), solitons, and other nonlinear phenomena [27].
It is noteworthy that the original formulation of the Peyrard-Bishop model assumes a one-dimensional chain of base pairs and disregards certain effects such as torsional angles, base-pair openings, and long-range interactions [28]. However, it serves as a fundamental framework for comprehending the dynamics of DNA molecules and has been extended and modified in subsequent studies to incorporate additional complexities and effects [29]. To simplify the analysis and allow for more general interpretations, the Peyrard-Bishop model is often expressed in a dimensionless form by rescaling the variables and parameters. One such form is as follows [30]:
∂2yn∂τ2=(yn+1−2yn+yn−1)−ϵ[exp(−κ(yn+1−yn))−1]+ϵ[exp(−κ(yn−yn−1))−1]+γ[exp(−αyn)−1], | (1.2) |
where τ is the dimensionless time, ϵ and κ are parameters related to the stacking interactions, and γ, α are parameters associated with the hydrogen bonds.
The physical difference between these forms lies in the choice of variables and parameters, which can affect the interpretation and numerical values of the solutions. However, the underlying physics and dynamics described by the model remain the same. While, it also takes the next form [31]
∂2u∂t2−∂2u∂x2(3ω2(∂u∂x)2+ω1)−2γω3e−γu(e−γu−1)=0. | (1.3) |
Equation (1.3) constitutes a representation of the Peyrard-Bishop DNA dynamic model, elucidating the behavior of DNA molecules by considering the hydrogen bonds between base pairs and the stacking interactions between adjacent base pairs [32]. Within this equation, the variable u denotes the displacement or stretching of the hydrogen bonds in the DNA molecule from their equilibrium position. The physical interpretation of each term and parameter is as follows [33]:
● ∂2u∂t2: This term denotes the inertial force or the acceleration of the hydrogen bonds.
● ∂2u∂x2: This term signifies the spatial derivative of the stretching of the hydrogen bonds, incorporating the coupling or interactions between adjacent base pairs along the DNA chain.
● 3ω2(∂u∂x)2+ω1: This term signifies the stacking interactions between adjacent base pairs, arising from the π-π stacking interactions between the aromatic rings of neighboring base pairs. The term (∂u∂x)2 represents the relative displacement between adjacent base pairs, and the parameters ω1 and ω2 are related to the strength and nonlinearity of the stacking interactions, respectively.
● 2γω3e−γu(e−γu−1): This term denotes the hydrogen bonding interactions between the complementary base pairs within the same base pair. The exponential term e−γu models the anharmonic potential of the hydrogen bonds, and the parameter γ determines the strength and shape of this potential. The parameter ω3 is related to the overall strength of the hydrogen bonding interactions.
The parameters in this model possess the following physical interpretations [34]:
● ω1: This parameter represents the linear component of the stacking interactions between adjacent base pairs.
● ω2: This parameter represents the nonlinear component of the stacking interactions between adjacent base pairs.
● ω3: This parameter represents the strength of the hydrogen bonding interactions between complementary base pairs.
● γ: This parameter determines the strength and shape of the anharmonic potential modeling the hydrogen bonding interactions.
It is pertinent to note that this manifestation of the Peyrard-Bishop model assumes a one-dimensional chain of base pairs and disregards certain effects, such as torsional angles, base-pair openings, and long-range interactions. Nonetheless, it encapsulates the fundamental interactions governing the dynamics of DNA molecules, encompassing inertial forces, stacking interactions, and hydrogen bonding interactions, which collectively give rise to the observed complex behavior in DNA [35].
Within this framework, we apply the subsequent wave transformation u=u(x,t)=ψ(ζ),ζ=ct+x, where c stands as an arbitrary constant to be subsequently determined, to Eq (1.3), thereby transmuting it into the ensuing ordinary differential equation.
ψ″(c2−3ω2(ψ′)2−ω1)+2γω3e−2γψ(eγψ−1)=0. | (1.4) |
Upon multiplication of Eq (1.4) by ψ′ and subsequent integration with respect to ζ, employing a null integration constant, the following expression emerges:
12(c2−ω1)ψ′(x)2−2ω3e−γψ(x)+ω3e−2γψ(x)−143ω2ψ′(x)4=0. | (1.5) |
Equation (1.5) converts into the next equation
2γ2(c2−ω1)φ2φ′2+4γ4ω3(φ−2)φ5−3ω2φ′4=0, | (1.6) |
where
e−γψ=φ,(e−γψ)2=φ2,andψ′=−φ′γφ. |
Additionally, Eq (1.6) also takes the next form
r1φ6−r3(φ′)4+r2φ2(φ′)2+φ5=0, | (1.7) |
where
r1=−12,r2=ω1−c24γ2ω3,r3=−3ω28γ4ω3. |
Applying the prescribed analytical methodologies and the principle of homogeneous balance to Eq (1.7) leads to the subsequent formula for the solution:
φ(ζ)={2n∑i=0ai(Kf(ζ))i=a1Kf(ζ)+a2K2f(ζ)+a0,n∑i=1(aif(ζ)i+bi(f′(ζ)f(ζ))i)+a0=a2f(ζ)2+a1f(ζ)+a0+b2f′(ζ)2f(ζ)2+b1f′(ζ)f(ζ), | (1.8) |
where a0,a1,a2,b1 and b2 are arbitrary constants to be evaluated later. While f(ζ) and ϕ(ζ) satisfies the next ordinary differential equation
{f′(ζ)2=α+Kf(ζ)(β+σKf(ζ))ln2(K)for Khater III method,f′(ζ)2=f(ζ)2(1−τf(ζ)2),for an enhanced Kudryashov scheme, |
where, α,β,σ and τ denote arbitrary constants, the determination of which will be elucidated subsequently.

a0=0,r1=4a2a21,r2=a1√r32√a2,α=a12√a2√r3,β=√a2√r3,σ=a3/222a1√r3. |

The computational wave solutions of the investigated model can be expressed in the following manner:
φ(x,t)=−a214a2sech2(√a1(ct+x)2√24√a24√r3), | (2.1) |
φ(x,t)=r22r3csch2(12√r2r3(ct+x)). | (2.2) |
Utilizing an improved Kudryashov scheme and employing the auxiliary equation delineated in (1.9), in conjunction with Mathematica 13.1 software, facilitates the resolution of Eq (1.7). This approach streamlines the process of determining values for the aforementioned parameters, resulting in the following outcomes:
a0=−b2,a1=0,b1=0,r1=τb2τ−a2,r2=14(b2−a2τ),r3=−a2−b2τ16τ. |
The computational wave solutions of the investigated model can be articulated as follows:
φ(x,t)=−sech2(ct+x)(−2a2+b1τsinh(2(ct+x))+2b2τ)2τ, | (2.3) |
φ(x,t)=16c2(a2−b2τ)e2(ct+x)−16b1c4e4(ct+x)+b1τ2(4c2e2(ct+x)+τ)2. | (2.4) |
A comprehensive analysis of the stability of solitary wave solutions is essential for a thorough understanding of the dynamic behavior and applicability of the Peyrard-Bishop DNA model. This model, acclaimed for its nonlinear dynamics and soliton solutions, has become a crucial framework for exploring the complex biophysics associated with DNA transcription and denaturation. The model's significance and accuracy are profoundly dependent on the stability of its solutions within specified system parameters.
This study conducts an exhaustive stability analysis of the solitary wave solutions under perturbations within the Hamiltonian system. The Hamiltonian structure provides a fundamental basis for evaluating solution stability, employing the Lyapunov method for rigorous scrutiny. Specifically, we derive the expression for the Hamiltonian, identify conserved quantities, and formulate the Lyapunov functional to rigorously assess stability. Evaluating the momentum of Eqs (2.1) and (2.3) yields
M|Eq.(2.1)=−124c(tanh2(5(c−1)2√2)−2tanh2(5(c+1)2√2)+tanh2(5−5c2√2)+8log(cosh(5(c−1)2√2))−8log(cosh(5(c+1)2√2))), | (2.5) |
M|Eq.(2.3)=18c(−27sech2(5(c+1))+27sech2(5−5c)+10(640c+log(1−tanh2(5(c+1)))−log(1−tanh2(5−5c)))). | (2.6) |
Consequently, we get
dMdc={0.441542829,for(c=−1),2.77777766,for(c=3). | (2.7) |
Hence, the solutions constructed above (Eqs (2.1) and (2.3)) demonstrate stability within the domain x∈[−5,5] and t∈[−5,5]. The results of the stability analysis carry profound implications for the validity and utility of the model in DNA dynamics research. Unstable solutions would manifest as non-physical artifacts, undermining the model's quantitative reliability in accurately describing DNA behavior. Conversely, stable and robust solutions, confined within appropriate parameter boundaries, inspire confidence in utilizing the model to elucidate DNA transcription mechanisms and guide experimental endeavors. Essentially, this stability analysis provides crucial insights into the dynamic structures within the model, delineates accurate parameter ranges, and defines suitable application domains. It establishes the groundwork for constructing precise DNA models and offers deeper insights into the intricate equilibrium of forces governing DNA molecular processes.

● Figure 4: Interpretation of the Bright Solitary Wave Solution Stream Plot:
The stream plot depicted in Figure 4, representing the bright solitary wave solution expressed by Eqs (2.1) and (2.2), provides a visual representation of localized melting bubbles within the DNA strand. The continuous lines illustrate the gradual variation in DNA strand displacement (u) with respect to distance (x) and time (t), capturing the dynamic process of bubble nucleation, growth, and propagation along the DNA strand during the denaturation process.
The smooth, continuous nature of the lines reflects the bubble breathing dynamics, wherein the denaturation bubbles exhibit oscillatory behavior as they expand and contract. This phenomenon is directly related to the nonlinear strand fluctuations governed by the Peyrard-Bishop model, accounting for the interplay between hydrogen bond interactions and stacking forces between adjacent base pairs.
As the denaturation process progresses, the localized melting bubbles smoothly rise and fall along the strand, indicating the formation and dissolution of these unstable regions.

The localized ripples propagating along the strand, while retaining their shape and amplitude, effectively illustrate the collective behavior of denaturation bubbles and their interactions through Ripple-Like soliton interactions. This visual representation provides valuable insights into the dynamics of bubble propagation and coalescence during the denaturation-renaturation transitions.
The oscillating contour pattern reflects the periodic nature of the denaturation-renaturation process, wherein the bubbles undergo cycles of growth and shrinkage. This behavior is governed by the complex interplay between hydrogen bond breaking, stacking interactions, and the nonlinear dynamics inherent to the Peyrard-Bishop model.
Moreover, the propagation of localized ripples along the strand highlights the collective behavior of denaturation bubbles, where individual bubbles can interact, merge, or split, leading to the formation of larger or smaller bubbles.

By encapsulating the dynamic behavior of denaturation bubbles, including their nucleation, growth, propagation, and interactions, these graphical illustrations offer invaluable insights into the underlying mechanisms steering DNA dynamics.
A noteworthy contribution of this study lies in the comprehensive stability analysis conducted within the Hamiltonian system framework. The conserved quantities, specifically the momentum M described by Eqs (2.5) and (2.6), provide valuable insights into the equilibrium conditions maintaining DNA strand integrity. The graphical representations of these conserved quantities, as depicted in Figure 3, establish the robustness and reliability of the obtained solutions within defined parameter ranges, bolstering our confidence in utilizing the Peyrard-Bishop DNA model for accurate predictions and simulations. The findings of this research bear profound implications for various domains within biophysics and molecular biology. By advancing our understanding of DNA dynamics and the interplay between various forces and interactions, this study lays the groundwork for further advancements in areas such as drug design, gene therapy, and the development of innovative therapeutic interventions.
Moreover, the analytical solutions and stability analyses presented herein provide a sturdy foundation for future investigations and model extensions. Researchers can build upon this work by incorporating additional complexities and effects, such as torsional angles, base-pair openings, and long-range interactions, to further refine the model's accuracy and predictive capabilities.
In summation, this study represents a significant stride in the exploration of DNA dynamics within the realm of nonlinear dynamics and biophysics. The novel analytical solutions, comprehensive stability analysis, and visual representations collectively contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate mechanisms governing DNA behavior. These findings not only enrich our fundamental knowledge but also pave the way for future advancements in areas such as drug design, gene therapy, and the development of innovative biomedical technologies, ultimately benefiting humanity through improved healthcare and therapeutic interventions.
