Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to study the stability analysis and optical solitary wave solutions of a (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which are derived from a multicomponent plasma with nonextensive distribution.

Design Methodology Approach

Based on the ansatz and sub-equation theories, the authors use a direct method to find stability analysis and optical solitary wave solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional equation.

Findings

By considering the ansatz method, the authors successfully construct the bright and dark soliton solutions of the equation. The sub-equation method is also extended to find its complexitons solutions. Moreover, the explicit power series solution is also derived with its convergence analysis. Finally, the influences of each parameter on these solutions are discussed via graphical analysis.

Originality Value

The dynamics of these solutions are analyzed to enrich the diversity of the dynamics of high-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation type nonlinear wave fields.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present numerical solutions for the space‐ and time‐fractional Korteweg‐de Vries (KdV) equation using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The space and time‐fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The paper witnesses the extension of HAM for fractional KdV equations.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper presents numerical solutions for the space‐ and time‐fractional KdV equation using HAM. The space and time‐fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense.

Findings

In this paper, the application of homotopy analysis method was extended to obtain explicit and numerical solutions of the time‐ and space‐fractional KdV equation with initial conditions. The homotopy analysis method was clearly a very efficient and powerful technique in finding the solutions of the proposed equations.

Originality/value

In this paper, the application of HAM was extended to obtain explicit and numerical solutions of the time‐ and space‐fractional KdV equation with initial conditions. The HAM was clearly very efficient and powerful technique in finding the solutions of the proposed equations. The obtained results demonstrate the reliability of the algorithm and its wider applicability to fractional nonlinear evolution equations. Finally, the recent appearance of nonlinear fractional differential equations as models in some fields such as the thermal diffusion in fractal media makes it necessary to investigate the method of solutions for such equations and the authors hope that this paper is a step in this direction.

The purpose of this paper is to propose an approximate method for solving a fractional population growth model in a closed system. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense.

Design/methodology/approach

The approach is based on the differential transform method. The solutions of a fractional model equation are calculated in the form of convergent series with easily computable components.

Findings

The diagonal Padé approximants are effectively used in the analysis to capture the essential behavior of the solution.

Originality/value

Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique.

Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study is to offer a contemporary approach for getting optical soliton and traveling wave solutions for the Date–Jimbo–Kashiwara–Miwa equation.

Design/methodology/approach

The approach is based on a recently constructed ansätze strategy. This method is an alternative to the Painleve test analysis, producing results similarly, but in a more practical, straightforward manner.

Findings

The approach proved the existence of both singular and optical soliton solutions. The method and its application show how much better and simpler this new strategy is than current ones. The most significant benefit is that it may be used to solve a wide range of partial differential equations that are encountered in practical applications.

Originality/value

The approach has been developed recently, and this is the first time that this method is applied successfully to extract soliton solutions to the Date–Jimbo–Kashiwara–Miwa equation.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to find homoclinic breather waves, rogue waves and soliton waves for a (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (gKP) equation, which can be used to describe the propagation of weakly nonlinear dispersive long waves on the surface of a fluid.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors apply the extended Bell polynomial approach, Hirota’s bilinear method and the homoclinic test technique to find the rogue waves, homoclinic breather waves and soliton waves of the (3 + 1)-dimensional gKP equation.

Findings

The results imply that the gKP equation admits rogue waves, homoclinic breather waves and soliton waves. Moreover, the authors also find that rogue waves can come from the extreme behavior of the breather solitary wave. The authors analyze the propagation and interaction properties of these solutions to better understand the dynamic behavior of these solutions.

Originality/value

These results may help us to further study the local structure and the interaction of waves in KP-type equations. It is hoped that the results can help enrich the dynamic behavior of such equations.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to construct the algebraic traveling wave solutions of the (3 + 1)-dimensional modified KdV-Zakharov-Kuznetsve (KdV-Z-K) equation, which can be usually used to express shallow water wave phenomena.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors apply the planar dynamical systems and invariant algebraic cure approach to find the algebraic traveling wave solutions and rational solutions of the (3 + 1)-dimensional modified KdV-Z-K equation. Also, the planar dynamical systems and invariant algebraic cure approach is applied to considered equation for finding algebraic traveling wave solutions.

Findings

As a result, the authors can find that the integral constant is zero and non-zero, the algebraic traveling wave solutions have different evolutionary processes. These results help to better reveal the evolutionary mechanism of shallow water wave phenomena and find internal connections.

Research limitations/implications

The paper presents that the implemented methods as a powerful mathematical tool deal with (3 + 1)-dimensional modified KdV-Z-K equation by using the planar dynamical systems and invariant algebraic cure.

Practical implications

By considering important characteristics of algebraic traveling wave solutions, one can understand the evolutionary mechanism of shallow water wave phenomena and find internal connections.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the algebraic traveling wave solutions have not been reported in other places. Finally, the algebraic traveling wave solutions nonlinear dynamics behavior was shown.
