Darboux Transformation and Soliton Solutions for a Variable-Coefficient Modified Kortweg-de Vries Model from Fluid Mechanics,Ocean Dynamics,and Plasma Mechanics

This paper is to investigate a variable-coefficient modified Kortweg-de Vries （vc-mKdV） model, which describes some situations from fluid mechanics, ocean dynamics, and plasma mechanics. By the AblowRz-Kaup-NewellSegur procedure and symbolic computation, the Lax pair of the vc-MKdV model is derived. Then, based on the aforementioned Lax pair, the Darboux transformation is constructed and a new one-soliton-like solution is obtained as weft Features of the one-soliton-like solution are analyzed and graphically discussed to illustrate the influence of the variable coefficients in the solitonlike propagation.     

Consistent Riccati expansion solvability,symmetries, and analytic solutions of a forced variable-coefficient extended Korteveg-de Vries equation in fluid dynamics of internal solitary waves

We study a forced variable-coefficient extended Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation in fluid dynamics with respect to internal solitary wave. Bäcklund transformations of the forced variable-coefficient extended KdV equation are demonstrated with the help of truncated Painlevé expansion. When the variable coefficients are time-periodic, the wave function evolves periodically over time. Symmetry calculation shows that the forced variable-coefficient extended KdV equation is invariant under the Galilean transformations and the scaling transformations. One-parameter group transformations and one-parameter subgroup invariant solutions are presented. Cnoidal wave solutions and solitary wave solutions of the forced variable-coefficient extended KdV equation are obtained by means of function expansion method. The consistent Riccati expansion (CRE) solvability of the forced variable-coefficient extended KdV equation is proved by means of CRE. Interaction phenomenon between cnoidal waves and solitary waves can be observed. Besides, the interaction waveform changes with the parameters. When the variable parameters are functions of time, the interaction waveform will be not regular and smooth.

In this paper, we consider the (2+1)-dimensional variable-coefficient Nizhnik–Novikov–Veselov system in an inhomogeneous medium, which is the isotropic Lax integrable extension of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Infinitely-many conservation laws are constructed. N-soliton solutions in terms of the Wronskian are obtained via the Hirota method. Velocity and shape of the soliton can be influenced by those variable coefficients, while the amplitude of the soliton can not be affected. Collision between the two solitons is shown to be elastic. Breather wave solutions are constructed via the trilinear method. Such phenomena as the deceleration and compression of the breather waves are studied graphically. Rogue wave solutions are derived when the periods of the breather wave solutions go to the infinity. Separated and united composite rogue waves are discussed graphically.

A connection between the （G′/G）-expansion method and the truncated Painlev ＇e expansion method and its application to the mKdV equation

Recently the （G′/G）-expansion method was proposed to find the traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. This paper shows that the （G′/G）-expansion method is a special form of the truncated Painlev＇e expansion method by introducing an intermediate expansion method. Then the generalized （G′/G）-（G/G′） expansion method is naturally derived from the standpoint of the nonstandard truncated Painlev＇e expansion. The application of the generalized method to the mKdV equation shows that it extends the range of exact solutions obtained by using the （ G′/ G）-expansion method.
