Bifurcations and exact solutions of an asymptotic rotation-Camassa–Holm equation

This paper investigates the rotation-Camassa–Holm equation, which appears in long-crested shallow-water waves propagating in the equatorial ocean regions with the Coriolis effect due to the earth’s rotation. The rotation-Camassa–Holm equation contains the famous Camassa–Holm equation and is a special case of the generalized Camassa–Holm equation. By using the approach of dynamical systems and singular traveling wave theory to its traveling wave system, in different parameter conditions of the five-parameter space, the bifurcations of phase portraits are studied. Some exact explicit parametric representations of the smooth solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions, peakons and anti-peakons, periodic peakons as well as compacton solutions are obtained.

Interactions among different types of nonlinear waves described by the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

In nonlinear science, the interactions among solitons are well studied because the multiple soliton solutions can be obtained by various effective methods. However, it is very difficult to study interactions among different types of nonlinear waves such as the solitons (or solitary waves), the cnoidal periodic waves and Painlevé waves. In this paper, taking the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation as an illustration model, a new method is established to find interactions among different types of nonlinear waves. The nonlocal symmetries related to the Darboux transformation (DT) of the KP equation is localized after embedding the original system to an enlarged one. Then the DT is used to find the corresponding group invariant solutions. It is shown that the essential and unique role of the DT is to add an additional soliton on a Boussinesq-type wave or a KdV-type wave, which are two basic reductions of the KP equation.

A new (n+1)-dimensional generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation: integrability characteristics and localized solutions

Searching for higher-dimensional integrable models is one of the most significant and challenging issues in nonlinear mathematical physics. This paper aims to extend the classic lower-dimensional integrable models to arbitrary spatial dimension. We investigate the celebrated Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation and propose its (n+1)-dimensional integrable extension. Based on the singularity manifold analysis and binary Bell polynomial method, it is found that the (n+1)-dimensional generalized KP equation has N-soliton solutions, and it also possesses the Painlevé property, Lax pair, Bäcklund transformation as well as infinite conservation laws, and thus the (n+1)-dimensional generalized KP equation is proven to be completely integrable. Moreover, various types of localized solutions can be constructed starting from the N-soliton solutions. The abundant interactions including overtaking solitons, head-on solitons, one-order lump, two-order lump, breather, breather-soliton mixed solutions are analyzed by some graphs.

Based on this constructed bilinear Bäcklund transformation, some classes of exponential and rational traveling wave solutions with arbitrary wave numbers are presented.
