Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the dynamical behavior of higher dimensional nonlinear wave by searching for the multi-wave solutions to the (3+1)-D Jimbo-Miwa equation.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors apply bilinear form and extended homoclinic test approach to the (3+1)-D Jimbo-Miwa equation.

Findings

In this paper, by using bilinear form and extended homoclinic test approach, the authors obtain new cross-kink multi-soliton solutions of the (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo-Miwa equation, including the periodic breathertype of kink three-soliton solutions, the cross-kink four-soliton solutions, the doubly periodic breather-type of soliton solutions and the doubly periodic breather-type of cross-kink two-soliton solutions. It is shown that the extended homoclinic test approach, with the help of symbolic computation, provides an effective and powerful mathematical tool for solving higher dimensional nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to explore new reduced form of the (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (BKP) equation by considering its bilinear equations, derived from connection between the Hirota’s transformation and Bell polynomials.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on the bilinear form of new reduced form of the (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized BKP equation, lump solutions with sufficient and necessary conditions to guarantee analyticity and rational localization of the solutions are discovered. Also, extended homoclinic approach is applied to considered equation for finding solitary wave solutions.

Findings

A class of the bright-dark lump waves are fabricated for studying different attributes of (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized BKP equation and some new exact solutions including kinky periodic solitary wave solutions and line breathers periodic are also obtained by Following the extended homoclinic approach.

Research limitations/implications

The paper presents that the implemented methods have emerged as a promising and robust mathematical tool to manage (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized BKP equation by using the Hirota’s bilinear equation.

Practical implications

By considering important characteristics of lump and solitary wave solutions, one can understand the shapes, amplitudes and velocities of solitons after the collision with another soliton.

Social implications

The analysis of these higher-dimensional nonlinear wave equations is not only of fundamental interest but also has important practical implications in many areas of mathematical physics and ocean engineering.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the acquired solutions given in various cases have not been reported for new reduced form of the (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized BKP equation in the literature. These obtained solutions are advantageous for researchers to know objective laws and grab the indispensable features of the development of the mathematical physics.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to find the exact solutions of a (3 + 1)-dimensional non-integrable Korteweg-de Vries type (KdV-type) equation, which can be used to describe the stability of soliton in a nonlinear media with weak dispersion.

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 non-integrable KdV-type equation. The used approach formally derives the essential conditions for these solutions to exist.

Findings

The results show that the equation exists rogue waves, homoclinic breather waves and soliton waves. To better understand the dynamic behavior of these solutions, the authors analyze the propagation and interaction properties of the these solutions.

Originality/value

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

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to produce families of exact soliton solutions (2+1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, that describes shallow water waves, using an ansätze approach.

Design/methodology/approach

This article aims to introduce a recently developed ansätze for creating soliton and travelling wave solutions to nonlinear nonintegrable partial differential equations, especially those with physical significance.

Findings

A recently developed ansätze solution was used to successfully construct soliton solutions to the (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation. This straightforward method is an alternative to the Painleve test analysis, yielding similar results. The strategy demonstrated the existence of a single soliton solution, also known as a localized wave or bright soliton, as well as singular solutions or kink solitons.

Originality/value

The ansätze solution used to construct soliton solutions to the (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation is novel. New soliton solutions were also obtained.
