Abstract:
A new multisoliton solution to the
(2+1)-dimensional KdV equation is obtained by means of the
truncated Painleve expansion method and a direct ansatz technique.
This new exact solution is periodic in the propagating direction
x and exponentially decaying in y and thus it is called
periodic solitons. A typical spatial structure of it is
illustrated by the figures.
