Exact Solutions to (3+1) Conformable Time Fractional Jimbo–Miwa,Zakharov–Kuznetsov and Modified Zakharov–Kuznetsov Equations

Exact solutions to conformable time fractional (3+1)-dimensional equations are derived by using the modified form of the Kudryashov method. The compatible wave transformation reduces the equations to an ODE with integer orders. The predicted solution of the finite series of a rational exponential function is substituted into this ODE.The resultant polynomial equation is solved by using algebraic operations. The method works for the Jimbo–Miwa, the Zakharov–Kuznetsov, and the modified Zakharov–Kuznetsov equations in conformable time fractional forms. All the solutions are expressed in explicit forms.     

Lump Solutions and Interaction Phenomenon for (2+1)-Dimensional Sawada–Kotera Equation

In this paper, a class of lump solutions to the (2+1)-dimensional Sawada–Kotera equation is studied by searching for positive quadratic function solutions to the associated bilinear equation. To guarantee rational localization and analyticity of the lumps, some sufficient and necessary conditions are presented on the parameters involved in the solutions. Then, a completely non-elastic interaction between a lump and a stripe of the(2+1)-dimensional Sawada–Kotera equation is obtained, which shows a lump solution is drowned or swallowed by a stripe soliton. Finally, 2-dimensional curves, 3-dimensional plots and density plots with particular choices of the involved parameters are presented to show the dynamic characteristics of the obtained lump and interaction solutions.     

B?cklund transformation and multiple soliton solutions for the (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo-Miwa equation

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 B?cklund 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.     

A KdV-Type Wronskian Formulation to Generalized KP,BKP and Jimbo–Miwa Equations

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a class of generalized nonlinear evolution equations, which can be widely applied to describing a variety of phenomena in nonlinear physical science. A Kd V-type Wronskian formulation is constructed by employing the Wronskian conditions of the Kd V equation. Applications are made for the(3+1)-dimensional generalized KP, BKP and Jimbo–Miwa equations, thereby presenting their Wronskian sufficient conditions.An N-soliton solution in terms of Wronskian determinant is obtained. Under a dimensional reduction, our results yield Wronskian solutions of the Kd V equation.

Lump-type solutions of a generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation in(3+1)-dimensions

Through the Hirota bilinear formulation and the symbolic computation software Maple, we construct lump-type solutions for a generalized(3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili(KP) equation in three cases of the coefficients in the equation. Then the sufficient and necessary conditions to guarantee the analyticity of the resulting lump-type solutions(or the positivity of the corresponding quadratic solutions to the associated bilinear equation) are discussed. To illustrate the generality of the obtained solutions, two concrete lump-type solutions are explicitly presented, and to analyze the dynamic behaviors of the solutions specifically, the three-dimensional plots and contour profiles of these two lump-type solutions with particular choices of the involved free parameters are well displayed.     

Interactions Between Solitons and Cnoidal Periodic Waves of the(2+1)-Dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky Equation

The(2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation is an important prototypic model in nonlinear physics, which can be applied to many fields. Various nonlinear excitations of the(2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation have been found by many methods. However, it is very difficult to find interaction solutions among different types of nonlinear excitations. In this paper, with the help of the Riccati equation, the(2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation is solved by the consistent Riccati expansion(CRE). Furthermore, we obtain the soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solution of the(2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation.

Soliton molecules and mixed solutions of the(2+1)-dimensional bidirectional Sawada-Kotera equation

In this paper, we investigate some new interesting solution structures of the(2+1)-dimensional bidirectional Sawada–Kotera(bSK) equation. We obtain soliton molecules by introducing velocity resonance. On the basis of soliton molecules, asymmetric solitons are obtained by changing the distance between two solitons of molecules. Based on the N-soliton solutions,several novel types of mixed solutions are generated, which include the mixed breather-soliton molecule solution by the module resonance of the wave number and partial velocity resonance,the mixed lump-soliton molecule solution obtained by partial velocity resonance and partial long wave limits, and the mixed solutions composed of soliton molecules(asymmetric solitons), lump waves, and breather waves. Some plots are presented to clearly illustrate the dynamic features of these solutions.     

CONDITIONAL SIMILARITY REDUCTION APPROACH: JIMBO－MIWA EQUATION

The direct method developed by Clarkson and Kruskal (1989 J. Math. Phys. 30 2201) for finding the symmetry reductions of a nonlinear system is extended to find the conditional similarity solutions. Using the method of the Jimbo－Miwa (JM) equation, we find that three well-known (2+1)-dimensional models－the asymmetric Nizhnik--Novikov－Veselov equation, the breaking soliton equation and the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation－can all be obtained as the conditional similarity reductions of the JM equation.     

Dynamical analysis of diversity lump solutions to the (2+1)-dimensional dissipative Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segure equation

In this paper, we study the lump solution and lump-type solutions of (2+1)-dimensional dissipative Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segure (AKNS) equation by the Hirota bilinear method and test function method. With the help of Maple, we draw three-dimensional plots of the lump solution and lump-type solutions, and by observing the plots, we analyze the dynamic behavior of the (2+1)-dimensional dissipative AKNS equation. We find that the interaction solutions come in a variety of interesting forms.

Resonance Y-type soliton solutions and some new types of hybrid solutions in the(2+1)-dimensional Sawada–Kotera equation

In this paper, based on N-soliton solutions, we introduce a new constraint among parameters to find the resonance Y-type soliton solutions in (2+1)-dimensional integrable systems. Then, we take the (2+1)-dimensional Sawada–Kotera equation as an example to illustrate how to generate these resonance Y-type soliton solutions with this new constraint. Next, by the long wave limit method, velocity resonance and module resonance, we can obtain some new types of hybrid solutions of resonance Y-type solitons with line waves, breather waves, high-order lump waves respectively. Finally, we also study the dynamics of these interaction solutions and indicate mathematically that these interactions are elastic.     

Solitons and periodic waves for a generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation in fluid dynamics and plasma physics

Under investigation in this paper is a generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation in fluid dynamics and plasma physics. Soliton and one-periodic-wave solutions are obtained via the Hirota bilinear method and Hirota–Riemann method. Magnitude and velocity of the one soliton are derived. Graphs are presented to discuss the solitons and one-periodic waves: the coefficients in the equation can determine the velocity components of the one soliton, but cannot alter the soliton magnitude; the interaction between the two solitons is elastic; the coefficients in the equation can influence the periods and velocities of the periodic waves. Relation between the one-soliton solution and one-periodic wave solution is investigated.

Dynamics of mixed lump-soliton for an extended (2+1)-dimensional asymmetric Nizhnik–Novikov–Veselov equation

A new (2+1)-dimensional higher-order extended asymmetric Nizhnik–Novikov–Veselov (eANNV) equation is proposed by introducing the additional bilinear terms to the usual ANNV equation. Based on the independent transformation, the bilinear form of the eANNV equation is constructed. The lump wave is guaranteed by introducing a positive constant term in the quadratic function. Meanwhile, different class solutions of the eANNV equation are obtained by mixing the quadratic function with the exponential functions. For the interaction between the lump wave and one-soliton, the energy of the lump wave and one-soliton can transfer to each other at different times. The interaction between a lump and two-soliton can be obtained only by eliminating the sixth-order bilinear term. The dynamics of these solutions are illustrated by selecting the specific parameters in three-dimensional, contour and density plots.     

Consistent Burgers equation expansion method and its applications to high- dimensional Burgers-type equations

In this paper, a novel method, named the consistent Burgers equation expansion (CBEE) method, is proposed to solve nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) by the celebrated Burgers equation. NLEEs are said to be CBEE solvable if they are satisfied by the CBEE method. In order to verify the effectiveness of the CBEE method, we take (2+1)-dimensional Burgers equation as an example. From the (1+1)-dimensional Burgers equation, many new explicit solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Burgers equation are derived. The obtained results illustrate that this method can be effectively extended to other NLEEs.     

Propagation of local spatial solitons in power-law nonlinear PT-symmetric potentials based on finite difference

We consider the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with power-law nonlinearity under the parity-time-symmetry potential by using the Crank–Nicolson alternating direction implicit difference scheme, which can also be used to solve general boundary problems under the premise of ensuring accuracy. We use linear Fourier analysis to verify the unconditional stability of the scheme. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme, we compare the numerical results with the exact soliton solutions. Moreover, by using the scheme, we test the stability of the solitons under the small environmental disturbances.     

Multiple exp-function method for soliton solutions of nonlinear evolution equations

We applied the multiple exp-function scheme to the(2+1)-dimensional Sawada-Kotera(SK) equation and(3+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation and analytic particular solutions have been deduced. The analytic particular solutions contain one-soliton, two-soliton, and three-soliton type solutions. With the assistance of Maple, we demonstrated the efficiency and advantages of the procedure that generalizes Hirota's perturbation scheme. The obtained solutions can be used as a benchmark for numerical solutions and describe the physical phenomena behind the model.
