Pfaffian solutions and extended Pfaffian solutions to (3 + 1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation

Based on the Pfaffian derivative formula and Hirota bilinear method, the Pfaffian solutions to (3 + 1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation are obtained under a set of linear partial differential condition. Moreover, we extend the linear partial differential condition and proved that (3 + 1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation has extended Pfaffian solutions. As examples, special exact two-soliton solution and three-soliton solution are computed and plotted. Our results show that (3 + 1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation has Pfaffian solutions like BKP equation.

Localized waves and interaction solutions to an extended (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation

Based on Hirota bilinear method, four kinds of localized waves, solitons, breathers, lumps and rogue waves of the extended (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation are constructed. Breathers are obtained through choosing appropriate parameters on soliton solutions, while lumps and rogue waves are derived via the long wave limit on the soliton solutions. The energy, phase shift, shape, and propagation direction of these localized waves can be influenced and controlled by parameters. Considering mixed cases of the above four types of solutions, we also give many kinds of interaction solutions in the same plane with different parameters or different planes with the same parameters. Dynamical characteristics of these localized waves and interaction solutions are further analyzed and vividly demonstrated through figures.     

Several classes of exact solutions to the 1 + 1 Born–Infeld equation

We obtain closed-form exact solutions to the 1 + 1 Born–Infeld equation arising in nonlinear electrodynamics. In particular, we obtain general traveling wave solutions of one wave variable, solutions of two wave variables, similarity solutions, multiplicatively separable solutions, and additively separable solutions. Then, putting the Born–Infeld model into correspondence with the minimal surface equation using a Wick rotation, we are able to construct complex helicoid solutions, transformed catenoid solutions, and complex analogues of Scherk’s first and second surfaces. Some of the obtained solutions are new, whereas others are generalizations of solutions in the literature. These exact solutions demonstrate the fact that solutions to the Born–Infeld model can exhibit a variety of behaviors. Exploiting the integrability of the Born–Infeld equation, the solutions are constructed elegantly, without the need for complicated analytical algorithms.

A new approach for solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation

A new method to solve the nonlinear evolution equations is presented, which combines the two kind methods – the tanh function method and symmetry group method. To demonstrate the method, we consider the (2 + 1)-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. As a result, some novel solitary solutions of the Schrödinger equation are obtained. And graphs of some solutions are displayed.     

New soliton and periodic solutions of (1 + 2)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with dual-power law nonlinearity

With the aid of symbolic computation, the new generalized algebraic method is extended to the (1 + 2)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with dual-power law nonlinearity for constructing a series of new exact solutions. Because of the dual-power law nonlinearity, the equation cannot be directly dealt with by the method and require some kinds of techniques. By means of two proper transformations, we reduce the NLSE to an ordinary differential equation that is easy to solve and find a rich variety of new exact solutions for the equation, which include soliton solutions, combined soliton solutions, triangular periodic solutions and rational function solutions. Numerical simulations are given for a solitary wave solution to illustrate the time evolution of the solitary creation. Finally, conditional stability of the solution in Lyapunov’s sense is discussed.

We demonstrate that four solutions from 13 of the (3 + 1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation obtained by Khalfallah [1] are wrong and do not satisfy the equation. The other nine exact solutions are the same and all “new” solutions by Khalfallah can be found from the well known solution.

A method is proposed by extending the linear traveling wave transformation into the nonlinear transformation with the (G′/G)-expansion method. The non-traveling wave solutions with variable separation can be constructed for the (2 + 1)-dimensional Broer–Kaup equations with variable coefficients via the method. A novel class of fractal soliton, namely, the cross-like fractal soliton is observed by selecting appropriately the arbitrary functions in the solutions.     

Multiple lump solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation

In this paper, multiple lump solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation are obtained by means of the Hirota bilinear method. With the aid of positive quartic-quadratic-functions, we can get the 1-lump solutions, 3-lump solutions, and 6-lump solutions. Via the density plots and three-dimensional plots, the dynamic properties of multiple lump solutions are discussed by choosing the appropriate parameters. It is expected that our results are valuable for revealing the high-dimensional dynamic phenomenon of the nonlinear evolution equations.

Many new exact traveling wave solutions are successfully obtained, which contain soliton-like and periodic-like solutions. This method is straightforward and concise, and it can be also applied to other nonlinear evolution equations.

Through the Painlevé–Bäcklund transformation, we derive four types of lump-kink solutions composed of two quadratic functions and N exponential functions. It is shown that fission and fusion interactions occur in the lump-kink solutions. Furthermore, a new variable separation solution with two arbitrary functions is obtained, the localized excitations including lumps, dromions and periodic waves are analyzed by some graphs.     

Field theoretical Lie symmetry analysis: The Möbius group,exact solutions of conformal autonomous systems,and predictive model-building

We study single and coupled first-order differential equations (ODEs) that admit symmetries with tangent vector fields, which satisfy the N-dimensional Cauchy–Riemann equations. In the two-dimensional case, classes of first-order ODEs which are invariant under Möbius transformations are explored. In the N dimensional case we outline a symmetry analysis method for constructing exact solutions for conformal autonomous systems. A very important aspect of this work is that we propose to extend the traditional technical usage of Lie groups to one that could provide testable predictions and guidelines for model-building and model-validation. The Lie symmetries in this paper are constrained and classified by field theoretical considerations and their phenomenological implications. Our results indicate that conformal transformations are appropriate for elucidating a variety of linear and nonlinear systems which could be used for, or inspire, future applications. The presentation is pragmatic and it is addressed to a wide audience.
