Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to both determine the effects of the nonlinearity on the wave dynamics and assess the temporal and spatial accuracy of five finite difference methods for the solution of the inviscid generalized regularized long-wave (GRLW) equation subject to initial Gaussian conditions.
Design/methodology/approach
Two implicit second- and fourth-order accurate finite difference methods and three Runge-Kutta procedures are introduced. The methods employ a new dependent variable which contains the wave amplitude and its second-order spatial derivative. Numerical experiments are reported for several temporal and spatial step sizes in order to assess their accuracy and the preservation of the first two invariants of the inviscid GRLW equation as functions of the spatial and temporal orders of accuracy, and thus determine the conditions under which grid-independent results are obtained.
Findings
It has been found that the steepening of the wave increase as the nonlinearity exponent is increased and that the accuracy of the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is comparable to that of a second-order implicit procedure for time steps smaller than 100th, and that only the fourth-order compact method is almost grid-independent if the time step is on the order of 1,000th and more than 5,000 grid points are used, because of the initial steepening of the initial profile, wave breakup and solitary wave propagation.
Originality/value
This is the first study where an accuracy assessment of wave breakup of the inviscid GRLW equation subject to initial Gaussian conditions is reported.

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.

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.

Design/methodology/approach
The author applies the Hirota’s bilinear method, extended homoclinic test approach and parameter limit method to construct the homoclinic breather waves and rogue waves of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Mel’nikov equation. Moreover, multi-soliton waves are constructed by using the three-wave method.
Findings
The results imply that the (2 + 1)-dimensional Mel’nikov equation has breather waves, rogue waves and multi-soliton waves. Moreover, the dynamic properties of such solutions are displayed vividly by figures.
Research limitations/implications
This paper presents efficient methods to find breather waves, rogue waves and multi-soliton waves for nonlinear evolution equations.
Originality/value
The outcome suggests that the extreme behavior of the homoclinic breather waves yields the rogue waves. Moreover, the multi-soliton waves are constructed, including the new breather two-solitary and two-soliton solutions. Meanwhile, the dynamics of these solutions will greatly enrich the diversity of the dynamics of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Mel’nikov 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.

Abstract
Aims to analyse unique deformation properties of textile materials in terms of basic mechanical properties. Models fabric deformation as a nonlinear dynamical system so that a fabric can be completely specified in terms of its mechanical behaviour under general boundary conditions. Fabric deformation is dynamically analogous to waves travelling in a fluid. A localized two‐dimensional deformation evolves through the fabric to form a three‐dimensional drape or fold configuration. The nonlinear differential equations arising in the analysis of fabric deformation belong to the Klein‐Gordon family of equations which becomes the sine‐Gordon equation in three dimensions. The sine‐Gordon equation has its origins in the study of Bäcklund Transformations in differential geometry. Describes fabric deformation as a series of transformations of surfaces, defined in terms of curvature parameters using Gaussian representation of surfaces. By considering a deformed fabric as a two‐dimensional surface, algebraically constructs analytical solutions of fabric deformation by solving the sine‐Gordon Equation. The theory of Bäcklund Transformations is used to transform a trivial solution into a series of solitary wave solutions. These analytical expressions describing the curvature parameters of a surface represent actual solutions of fabric dynamical systems.

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.

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.
