Soliton-like and periodic form solutions to (2 + 1)-dimensional Toda equation

In this paper, we present a further extended tanh method for constructing exact solutions to nonlinear difference-differential equation(s) (NDDEs) and Lattice equations. By using this method via symbolic computation system MAPLE, we obtain abundant soliton-like and period-form solutions to the (2 + 1)-dimensional Toda equation. Solitary wave solutions are merely a special case in one family. This method can also be used to other nonlinear difference differential equations.

Exact coherent structures in the (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equations

Different from the (1 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear systems, (2 + 1) or higher dimensional nonlinear systems admit more rich coherent structures. Taking (2 + 1)-dimensional Korteweg de Vries (KdV for short) equations as an example, the singular manifold method is applied to search these coherent structures in an analytical form. With the aid of symbolic computation and plot representation of Maple, some coherent structures expressed in terms of new forms, such as dromions and solitoffs, have been illustrated by means of arbitrary functions in the analytical forms. In the paper, we will show these results by changing some specific choices for three different special cases for singular variable in details.     

Doubly periodic wave and folded solitary wave solutions for (2 + 1)-dimensional higher-order Broer–Kaup equation

A general solution including three arbitrary functions is obtained for the (2 + 1)-dimensional high-order Broer–Kaup equation by means of WTC truncation method. From the general solution, doubly periodic wave solutions in terms of the Jacobian elliptic functions with different modulus and folded solitary wave solutions determined by appropriate multiple valued functions are obtained. Some interesting novel features and interaction properties of these exact solutions and coherent localized structures are revealed.     

On generating (2 + 1)-dimensional hierarchies of evolution equations

Two isospectral problems are constructed with the help of a 6-dimensional Lie algebra. By using the Tu scheme, a (1 + 1)-dimensional expanding integrable couplings of the KdV hierarchy is obtained and the corresponding Hamiltonian structure is established. In addition, the 2-order matrix operators proposed by Tuguizhang are extended to the case where some 4-order matrices are given. Based on the extension, a new hierarchy of 2 + 1 dimensions is obtained by the Hamiltonian operator of the above (1 + 1)-dimensional case and the TAH scheme. The new hierarchy of 2 + 1 dimensions can be reduced to a coupled (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear equation and furthermore it can be reduced to the (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation which has important physics applications. The Hamiltonian structure for the (2 + 1)-dimensional hierarchy is derived with the aid of an extended trace identity. To the best of our knowledge, generating the (2 + 1)-dimensional equation hierarchies by virtue of the TAH scheme has not been studied in detail except to previous little work by Tu et al.

By means of the method, new types of variable-separation solutions (including solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions and rational function solutions) for the KD system are successfully obtained. The improved mapping approach and variable separation method can be applied to other higher-dimensional coupled nonlinear evolution equations.

Some new soliton-like solutions and double-like periodic solutions of a (2 + 1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equation are obtained.     

Numerical solution for (2 + 1)‐dimensional time‐fractional coupled Burger equations using fractional natural decomposition method

The aim of the present work is to find the numerical solutions for time‐fractional coupled Burgers equations using a new novel technique, called fractional natural decomposition method (FNDM). Two examples are considered in order to illustrate and validate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. The numerical simulation has been conducted to ensure the exactness of the present method, and the obtained solutions are offered graphically to reveal the applicability and reliability of the FNDM. The outcomes of the study reveal that the FNDM is computationally very effective and accurate to study the (2 + 1)‐dimensional coupled Burger equations of arbitrary order.     

Multiple soliton solutions for a (2 + 1)-dimensional integrable KdV6 equation

In this work, a completely integrable (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV6 equation is investigated. The Cole-Hopf transformation method combined with the Hirota’s bilinear sense are used to determine two sets of solutions for this equation. Multiple soliton solutions are formally derived to emphasize its complete integrability. Moreover, multiple singular soliton solutions are also developed for this equation. The resonance relation for this equation does not exist.

Exotic localized structures based on variable separation solution of (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation via the extended tanh-function method

In this paper, firstly, we obtain the variable separation solutions of (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation by the extended tanh-function method (ETM) based on mapping method. Novel localized coherent structures about multi-valued functions, i.e. special dromion, special peakon and foldon, and the interactions among them, are discussed. The interactions between two special dromions and between two special peakons possess novel property, that is, there exists a multi-valued foldon in the process of their collision, which is different from the reported cases in previous literature. Moreover, the explicit phase shifts for all the local excitations offered by the quantity u have been given, and are applied to these novel interactions in detail.

In this paper, the F-expansion method is extended and applied to construct the exact solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional generalized Wick-type stochastic Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation by the aid of the symbolic computation system Maple. Some new stochastic exact solutions which include kink-shaped soliton solution, singular soliton solution and triangular periodic solutions are obtained via this method and Hermite transformation.     

Rational and semi‐rational solutions of a nonlocal (2 + 1)‐dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider the fully parity‐time (PT) symmetric nonlocal (2 + 1)‐dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with respect to x and y. By using Hirota's bilinear method, we derive the N‐soliton solutions of the nonlocal NLS equation. By using the resulting N‐soliton solutions and employing long wave limit method, we derive its nonsingular rational solutions and semi‐rational solutions. The rational solutions act as the line rogue waves. The semi‐rational solutions mean different types of combinations in rogue waves, breathers, and periodic line waves. Furthermore, in order to easily understand the dynamic behaviors of the nonlocal NLS equation, we display some graphics to analyze the characteristics of these solutions.

Generalized Lagrange Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto vs Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto collocation approximations for solving (2 + 1)-dimensional Sine-Gordon equations

The Sine-Gordon (SG) equations are very important in that they can accurately model many essential physical phenomena. In this paper, the Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto collocation (JGL-C) and Generalized Lagrange Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto collocation (GLJGL-C) methods are adopted and compared to simulate the (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear SG equations. In order to discretize the time variable t, the Crank-Nicolson method is employed. For the space variables, two numerical methods based on the aforementioned collocation methods are applied. Furthermore, error estimation for both methods is provided. The present numerical method is truly effective, free of integration and derivative, and easy to implement. The given examples and the results assert that the GLJGL-C method outperforms the JGL-C method in terms of computation speed. Also, the presented methods are very valid, effective, and reliable.     

Optimal solutions of a (3 + 1)-dimensional B-Kadomtsev-Petviashvii equation

We explored and specialized new Lie infinitesimals for the (3 + 1)-dimensional B-Kadomtsev-Petviashvii (BKP) using the commutation product, which results a system of nonlinear ODEs manually solved. Through two stages of Lie symmetry reduction, (3 + 1)-dimensional BKP equation is reduced to nonsolvable nonlinear ODEs using various combinations of optimal Lie vectors. Using the integration and Riccati equation methods, we investigate new analytical solutions for these ODEs. Back substituting to the original variables generates new solutions for BKP. Some selected solutions illustrated through three-dimensional plots.
