Rational Solutions with Non-zero Asymptotics of the Modified Korteweg-de Vries Equation

Using the relation between the mKdV equation and the KdV-mKdV equation, we derive non-singular rational solutions for the mKdV equation. The solutions are given in terms of Wronskians. Dynamics of some solutions is investigated by means of asymptotic analysis. Wave trajectories of high order rational solutions are asymptotically governed by cubic curves.     

A Note on the Transformation of Variables of KP Equation,Cylindrical KP Equation and Spherical KP Equation

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.     

Solitons on a Periodic Wave Background of the Modified KdV-Sine-Gordon Equation

The Bäcklund transformation(BT) of the mKdV-sG equation is constructed by introducing a new transformation. Infinitely many nonlocal symmetries are obtained in terms of its BT. The soliton-periodic wave interaction solutions are explicitly derived by the classical Lie-group reduction method. Particularly, some special concrete soliton and periodic wave interaction solutions and their behaviours are discussed both in analytical and graphical ways.

NEW TYPE OF NONISOSPECTRAL KP EQUATION WITH SELF-CONSISTENT SOURCES AND ITS BILINEAR BÄCKLUND TRANSFORMATION

A new type of the nonisospectral KP equation with self-consistent sources is constructed by using the source generation procedure. A new feature of the obtained nonisospectral system is that we allow y-dependence of the arbitrary constants in the determinantal solution for the nonisospectral KP equation. In order to further show integrability of the novel nonisospectral KP equation with self-consistent sources, we give a bilinear Bäcklund transformation.     

Covariant Prolongation Structure of Konno-Asai-Kakuhata Equation

Based upon the covariant prolongation structures theory, we construct the sl(2,R)×R(ρ) prolongation structure for Konno-Asai-Kakuhata equation. By taking two and one-dimensional prolongation spaces, we obtain the inverse scattering equations given by Konno et al. and the corresponding Riccati equation. The Bäcklund transformations are also presented.

The extended simplest equation method is used to solve exactly a new differential-difference equation of fractional-type, proposed by Narita [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 381 （2011） 963] quite recently, related to the discrete MKdV equation. It is shown that the model supports three types of exact solutions with arbitrary parameters： hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational, which have not been reported before.     

Abundant New Explicit Exact Soliton—Like Solutions and Painleve Test for the Generalized Burgers Equation in （2＋1）—Dimensional Space

We obtain Backlund transformation and some new kink-like solitary wave solutions for the generalized Burgers equation in (2 1)-dimensional space,ut 1/2(uδy^-1ux)x-uxx=0,by using the extended homogeneous balance method.As is well known,the introduction of the concept of dromions (the exponentially localized solutions in (2 1)-dimensional space)has triggered renewed interest in (2 1)-dimensional soliton systems.The solutions obtained are used to show that the variable ux admits exponentially localized solutions rather than the physical field u(x,y,t) itself.In addition,it is shown that the equation passes Painleve test.     

Scattering of Solitons of Modified KdV Equation with Self-consistent Sources

This paper investigates in detail the dynamics of the modified KdV equation with self-consistent sources, including characteristics of one-soliton, scattering conditions and phase shifts of two solitons, degenerate case of two solitons and ＂ghost＂ solitons, etc. Co-moving coordinate frames are employed in asymptotic analysis.     

Residual Symmetry of the Alice-Bob Modified Korteweg-de Vries Equation

Starting from the truncated Painlev′e expansion, the residual symmetry of the Alice-Bob modified Kortewegde Vries(AB-mKdV) equation is derived. The residual symmetry is localized and the AB-mKdV equation is transformed into an enlarged system by introducing one new variable. Based on Lie's first theorem, the finite transformation is obtained from the localized residual symmetry. Further, considering the linear superposition of multiple residual symmetries gives rises to N-th B?cklund transformation in the form of the determinant. Moreover, the P_sT_d(the shifted parity and delayed time reversal) symmetric exact solutions(including invariant solution, breaking solution and breaking interaction solution) of AB-mKdV equation are presented and two classes of interaction solutions are depicted by using the particular functions with numerical simulation.     

On the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources

The modified discrete KP equation is the Bäcklund transformation for the Hirota’s discrete KP equation or the Hirota-Miwa equation. We construct the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources via source generation procedure and clarify the algebraic structure of the resulting coupled modified discrete KP system by presenting its discrete Gram-type determinant solutions. It is also shown that the commutativity between the source generation procedure and Bäcklund transformation is valid for the discrete KP equation. Finally, we demonstrate that the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources yields the modified differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources through a continuum limit. The continuum limit of an explicit solution to the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources also gives the explicit solution for the modified differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources.     

Bäcklund Transformation and Multisoliton Solutions in Terms of Wronskian Determinant for (2+1)-Dimensional Breaking Soliton Equations with Symbolic Computation

In this paper, two types of the (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equations are investigated, which describe the interactions of the Riemann waves with the long waves. With symbolic computation, the Hirota bilinear forms and Bäcklund transformations are derived for those two systems. Furthermore, multisoliton solutions in terms of the Wronskian determinant are constructed, which are verified through the direct substitution of the solutions into the bilinear equations. Via the Wronskian technique, it is proved that theBäcklund transformations obtained are the ones between the (N-1)- and N-soliton solutions. Propagations and interactions of the kink-/bell-shaped solitons are presented. It is shown that the Riemann waves possess the solitonic properties, and maintain the amplitudes and velocities in the collisions only with some phase shifts.

Exact solutions and residual symmetries of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur system

The residual symmetries of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur(AKNS)equations are obtained by the truncated Painleve′analysis.The residual symmetries for the AKNS equations are proved to be nonlocal and the nonlocal residual symmetries are extended to the local Lie point symmetries of a prolonged AKNS system.The local Lie point symmetries of the prolonged AKNS equations are composed of the residual symmetries and the standard Lie point symmetries,which suggests that the residual symmetry method is a useful complement to the classical Lie group theory.The calculation on the symmetries shows that the enlarged equations are invariant under the scaling transformations,the space–time translations,and the shift translations.Three types of similarity solutions and the reduction equations are demonstrated.Furthermore,several types of exact solutions for the AKNS equations are obtained with the help of the symmetry method and the Bcklund transformations between the AKNS equations and the Schwarzian AKNS equation.     

Similarity Reductions of Nonisospectral KP Equation by a Direct Method

On bases of the direct method developed by Clarkson and Kruskal [J. Math. Phys. 27 （1989） 2201], the （2＋1）-dimensional nonisospectral Kadomtsev-Petviashvili （KP） equation has been reduced to three types of （1 ＋1）- dimensional partial differential equations. We focus on solving the third type of reduction and dividing them into three subcases, from which we obtain rich solutions including some arbitrary functions.
