Two new integrable Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations with time-dependent coefficients: multiple real and complex soliton solutions

ABSTRACT

In this work, we develop two new integrable Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equations with time-dependent coefficients. The integrability property of each equation is explicitly demonstrated exhibiting the Painlevé test to confirm its integrability. Moreover, each equation admits multiple real and multiple complex soliton solutions. We introduce complex forms of the simplified Hirota's method to derive multiple complex soliton solutions. These two model equations are likely to be of applicative relevance, because it may be considered an application of a large class of nonlinear KP equations.

Three types of generalized Kadomtsev－Petviashvili equations arising from baroclinic potential vorticity equation

By means of the reductive perturbation method, three types of generalized (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev--Petviashvili (KP) equations are derived from the baroclinic potential vorticity (BPV) equation, including the modified KP (mKP) equation, standard KP equation and cylindrical KP (cKP) equation. Then some solutions of generalized cKP and KP equations with certain conditions are given directly and a relationship between the generalized mKP equation and the mKP equation is established by the symmetry group direct method proposed by Lou et al. From the relationship and the solutions of the mKP equation, some solutions of the generalized mKP equation can be obtained. Furthermore, some approximate solutions of the baroclinic potential vorticity equation are derived from three types of generalized KP equations.

In a recent article(Commun. Theor. Phys. 67(2017) 207), three(2+1)-dimensional equations — KP equation, cylindrical KP equation and spherical KP equation, have been reduced to the same Kd V equation by using different transformation of variables, respectively. In this short note, by adding an adjustment item to original transformation, three more general transformation of variables corresponding to above three equations have been given.Substituting the solutions of the Kd V equation into our transformation of variables, more new exact solutions of the three(2+1)-dimensional equations can be obtained.

Based on the Weierstrass elliptic function equation, a new Weierstrass semi-rational expansion method and its algorithm are presented. The main idea of the method changes the problem solving soliton equations into another one solving the corresponding set of nonlinear algebraic equations. With the aid of Maple, we choose the modified KdV equation, (2+1)-dimensional KP equation, and (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo-Miwa equation to illustrate our algorithm. As a consequence, many types of new doubly periodic solutions are obtained in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function. Moreover the corresponding new Jacobi elliptic function solutions and solitary wave solutions are also presented as simple limits of doubly periodic solutions.     

An Invariance for (2+1)-Extension of Burgers Equation and Formulae to Obtain Solutions of KP Equation

In this article, we study the (2+1)-extension of Burgers equation and the KP equation. At first, based on a known Bäcklund transformation and corresponding Lax pair, an invariance which depends on two arbitrary functions for (2+1)-extension of Burgers equation is worked out. Given a known solution and using the invariance, we can find solutions of the (2+1)-extension of Burgers equation repeatedly. Secondly, we put forward an invariance of Burgers equation which cannot be directly obtained by constraining the invariance of the (2+1)-extension of Burgers equation. Furthermore, we reveal that the invariance for finding the solutions of Burgers equation can help us find the solutions of KP equation. At last, based on the invariance of Burgers equation, the corresponding recursion formulae for finding solutions of KP equation are digged out. As the application of our theory, some examples have been put forward in this article and some solutions of the (2+1)-extension of Burgers equation, Burgers equation and KP equation are obtained.

Exact Travelling-Wave Solutions of the Extended Fifth-Order Korteweg-de Vries Equation via Simple Equations Method (SEsM): The Case of Two Simple Equations

We apply the Simple Equations Method (SEsM) for obtaining exact travelling-wave solutions of the extended fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. We present the solution of this equation as a composite function of two functions of two independent variables. The two composing functions are constructed as finite series of the solutions of two simple equations. For our convenience, we express these solutions by special functions V, which are solutions of appropriate ordinary differential equations, containing polynomial non-linearity. Various specific cases of the use of the special functions V are presented depending on the highest degrees of the polynomials of the used simple equations. We choose the simple equations used for this study to be ordinary differential equations of first order. Based on this choice, we obtain various travelling-wave solutions of the studied equation based on the solutions of appropriate ordinary differential equations, such as the Bernoulli equation, the Abel equation of first kind, the Riccati equation, the extended tanh-function equation and the linear equation.
