Nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations are among the important models of nonlocal integrable systems. This paper aims to present a general formula for arbitrary-order breather solutions to multi-component nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations by using the Hirota bilinear method. In particular, abundant wave solutions of two- and three-component nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations, including periodic and mixed-wave solutions, are obtained by taking appropriate values for the involved parameters in the general solution formula. Moreover, diverse wave structures of the resulting breather and periodic wave solutions with different parameters are discussed in detail.

A fully discrete analysis of the finite element heterogeneous multiscale method (FE-HMM) for elliptic problems with N+1 well-separated scales is discussed. The FE-HMM is a numerical homogenization method that relies on a macroscopic scheme (macro FEM) for the approximation of the effective solution corresponding to the multiscale problem. The effective data are recovered from micro scale computation (micro FEM) on sampling domains located at appropriate quadrature points of the macroscopic mesh. At the macroscopic level, the numerical method can be seen as an FEM with numerical quadrature for a modified effective problem, hence variational crimes are made when designing this method. Up to now, the method has been analysed for two scales and the micro FEM was assumed to be conforming. For more than two scales, variational crimes are committed also at the intermediate (meso) scales and the effective data of the macroscopic scheme are obtained from a cascade of FEMs with numerical integration, which require a careful analysis. Numerical experiments for three-scale problems illustrate the theoretical convergence rates.

On one hand, we construct λ-symmetries and their corresponding integrating factors and invariant solutions for two kinds of ordinary differential equations. On the other hand, we present μ-symmetries for a (2+1)-dimensional diffusion equation and derive group-reductions of a first-order partial differential equation. A few specific group invariant solutions of those two partial differential equations are constructed.

In this paper, the Lie symmetries of the Jaulent-Miodek (JM) equations are calculated and one dimensional optimal systems of Lie algebra are obtained. Furthermore, the conservation laws are constructed by using the adjoint equation method. Finally, the exact solutions of the equations are obtained by the conservation laws.
