We study an approach to constructing multiple soliton solutions of the (3 1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation.We take the (3 1)-dimensional Jimbo-Miwa(JM) equation as an example.Using the extended homogeneous balance method,one can find a backlund transformation to decompose the (3 1)-dimensional JM equation into a linear partial differential equation and two bilinear partial differential equations.Starting from these linear and bilinear partial differential equations,some multiple soliton solutions for the (3 1)-dimensional JM equation are obtained by introducing a class of formal solutions.     

Soliton and rogue wave solutions of two-component nonlinear Schr?dinger equation coupled to the Boussinesq equation

The nonlinear Schr?dinger(NLS) equation and Boussinesq equation are two very important integrable equations.They have widely physical applications. In this paper, we investigate a nonlinear system, which is the two-component NLS equation coupled to the Boussinesq equation. We obtain the bright–bright, bright–dark, and dark–dark soliton solutions to the nonlinear system. We discuss the collision between two solitons. We observe that the collision of bright–bright soliton is inelastic and two solitons oscillating periodically can happen in the two parallel-traveling bright–bright or bright–dark soliton solution. The general breather and rogue wave solutions are also given. Our results show again that there are more abundant dynamical properties for multi-component nonlinear systems.     

An Explicit Backlund Transformation of Burgers Equation with Applications

In this paper, an explicit Bgcklund transformation （BT） of the Burgers equation is obtained by using the further extended tanh method [Phys. Lett. A 307 （2003） 269; Chaos, Solitons ＆ Fractals 17 （2003） 669]. Based on the BT and some newly obtained seed solutions, infinite sequences of exact solutions for the Burgers equation are generated. Further more, this BT of the Burgers equation is applied to solve the variant Boussinesq equations and the approximate equations of long water wave.

A new generalized Jacobi elliptic function method is used to construct the exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in a unified way. The main idea of this method is to take full advantage of the elliptic equation which has more new solutions. More new doubly periodic and multiple soliton solutions are obtained for the generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kronig－Penny (KP) equation with variable coefficients. This method can be applied to other equations with variable coefficients.

Darboux Transformations and N-soliton Solutions of Two （2＋1）-Dimensional Nonlinear Equations

Two Darboux transformations of the （2＋1）-dimensional Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon-Kotera-Sawaka （ CDGKS） equation and （2＋1）-dimensional modified Korteweg-de Vries （mKdV） equation are constructed through the Darboux matrix method, respectively. N-soliton solutions of these two equations are presented by applying the Darboux trans- formations N times. The right-going bright single-soliton solution and interactions of two and three-soliton overtaking collisions of the （2＋1）-dimensional CDGKS equation are studied. By choosing different seed solutions, the right-going bright and left-going dark single-soliton solutions, the interactions of two and three-soliton overtaking collisions, and kink soliton solutions of the （2＋1）-dimensional mKdV equation are investigated. The results can be used to illustrate the interactions of water waves in shallow water.     

Analytic Approximations for Soliton Solutions of Short-Wave Models for Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi Equations

In this paper, the short-wave model equations are investigated, which are associated with the Camassa- Holm （CH） and Degasperis Procesi （DP） shallow-water wave equations. Firstly, by means of the transformation of the independent variables and the travelling wave transformation, the partial differential equation is reduced to an ordinary differential equation. Secondly, the equation is solved by homotopy analysis method. Lastly, by the transformatioas back to the original independent variables, the solution of the original partial differential equation is obtained. The two types of solutions of the short-wave models are obtained in parametric form, one is one-cusp soliton for the CH equation while the other one is one-loop soliton for the DP equation. The approximate analytic solutions expressed by a series of exponential functions agree well with the exact solutions. It demonstrates the validity and great potential of homotopy analysis method for complicated nonlinear solitary wave problems.

Soliton structures in the (1+1)-dimensional Ginzburg–Landau equation with a parity-time-symmetric potential in ultrafast optics

In this paper, the(1+1)-dimensional variable-coefficient complex Ginzburg–Landau(CGL) equation with a paritytime(PT) symmetric potential U(x) is investigated. Although the CGL equations with a PT-symmetric potential are less reported analytically, the analytic solutions for the CGL equation are obtained with the bilinear method in this paper. Via the derived solutions, some soliton structures are presented with corresponding parameters, and the influences of them are analyzed and studied. The single-soliton structure is numerically verified, and its stability is analyzed against additive and multiplicative noises. In particular, we study the soliton dynamics under the impact of the PT-symmetric potential. Results show that the PT-symmetric potential plays an important role for obtaining soliton structures in ultrafast optics, and we can design fiber lasers and all-optical switches depending on the different amplitudes of soliton-like structures.

The results found here are tested on computer and therefore their validity is ensured.
