1. Introduction
One and higher dimensional Boussinesq equations are generally used in coastal and ocean engineering, modelling tidal oscillations and tsunami wave modelling. These equations are classified as hyperbolic equations, like nonlinear shallow water equations, and they were originally derived as a model for water waves. They in fact describe the irrotational motion of an incompressible fluid in the long wave limit and they are described by the Navier-Stokes equations. Boussinesq equations also appear as acoustic, elastic, electromagnetic or gravitational waves. Some developments of Boussinesq equations for one and multi-dimensional spaces can be found, for example, in Wei et al. [1], Madsen and Schaffer [2], Guido Schneider [3], Nwogu [4] and Kirby [5].
During the last three decades, many methods have been developed and used to solve these equations, such as homotopy analysis and homotopy perturbation methods (Francisco and Fernández [6], Gupta and Saha [7] and Dianhen et al. [8]), the analytic method [9], the modified decomposition method (Wazwaz [10], Fang et al. [11] and Basem and Attili [12]) the Laplace Adomian Decomposition Method (Hardik et al. [13], Zhang et al. [14], Liang et al. [15]) the transformed rational function method (Wang [16], Engui [17]) the integral transform method (Charles et al. [18]) the energy integral method (Joseph [19], Mesloub [20]) the inverse scattering method (Peter et al. [21]) and other different numerical methods were used to investigate problems dealing with Boussinesq equations, see for example, Jang [22], Iskandar and Jain [23], Bratsos [24], Dehghan and Salehi [25], Boussinesq [26], and Onorato et al. [27]. For the bifurcation of solutions and possible applications of Boussinesq equations, we may refer to References [28,29]. The purpose of the main result of this work is to use the modified double Laplace decomposition method for solving a singular generalized modified linear Boussinesq equation and a singular nonlinear Boussinesq equation. We also obtain an a priori estimate for the solution and we provide some examples to validate and illustrate the modified double Laplace decomposition method.
This paper is organized as follows—in Section 2, we introduce some tools to be used in the subsequent sections. In Section 3, we set and pose the first problem dealing with an initial boundary value problem for a singular modified linear Boussinesq equation with Bessel operator. Section 4 is devoted to establishing an a priori bound for the solution of problem (14)–(16) from which we deduce the uniqueness of its solutions in a weighted Sobolev space. In Section 5, we discuss the use of the modified double Laplace decomposition method for solving the posed problem (14)–(16) and an example is considered to illustrate the method. In Section 6, we consider an initial value problem for the one dimensional singular nonlinear Boussinesq equation. We have again used the modified double Laplace decomposition method to obtain the solution of this nonlinear problem and an example is given to confirm the validity of the method in the last section.

In the rectangle we consider an initial boundary value problem for the singular generalized improved modified linear Boussinesq equation with damping and with Bessel operator
where and are given functions that satisfy certain conditions which will be specified later on. We obtain an a priori estimate for the solution of problem (14)–(16) and use the modified double Laplace decomposition method for solving it.
4. A Priori Estimate for the Solution of Problem (14)–(16)
In this section, we establish an a priori estimate for the solution of problem (14)–(16) from which we deduce the uniqueness of the solution.
Theorem 1.
The solution ψ of the initial boundary value problem (14)–(16) satisfies the a priori estimate
Proof.
We consider the scalar product in of the operators and where , with , , we obtain
By using initial and boundary conditions (15) and (16), terms on the right hand side of (18) can be evaluated as follows:
Combination of (18)–(22), and Cauchy - inequality lead to
We now consider the elementary inequality
By summing inequalities (23) and (24) side to side, we obtain
Application of Gronwall’s lemma [32] to inequality (25) with
gives
By discarding the last two terms in the left-hand side of (26) and then taking the upper bound for both sides with respect to over of the obtained inequality, we obtain the following a priori estimate for the solution of the posed problem (14)–(16)

5. The Modified Double Laplace Decomposition Method
The main aim of this section is to discuss the use of the modified double Laplace decomposition method for solving the linear initial value problem (14) and (15).
By using (6)–(9), we obtain
Integration of both sides of Equation (28) from 0 to p with respect to p, yields

The modified double Laplace decomposition method (MDLDM) defines the solutions by the infinite series
Upon substitution of Equation (31) into (30), we get
On comparing both sides of (32), we get
In general, the recursive relation is given by
where is the double inverse Laplace transform with respect to s. Here we assume that the double inverse Laplace transform with respect to p and s exists for each term in the right hand side of Equations (33) and (34). To illustrate this method, we consider the following example.
Example 1.
Consider the following singular generalized modified linear Boussinesq equation with Bessel operator:
subject to the initial conditions
By multiplying Equation (35) by x and using the definition of partial derivatives of the double Laplace transform and single Laplace transform for Equations (35) and (36), we obtain
By integrating both sides of (37) from 0 to p with respect to p, we obtain
Application of the inverse double Laplace transform to (38), yields
Putting (31) into (39) to have
By modified Laplace decomposition method, we have
and
Now the components of the series solution are
and,
Eventually, the approximate solution of the unknown functions is given by
Hence, the exact solution is given by
6. A Nonlinear Singular Boussinesq Equation with Bessel Operator
In this section, we consider the following nonlinear singular one dimensional Boussinesq equation [34]

On using the differentiation property of double Laplace transform and initial conditions (42), we get
By integrating both sides of (44) from 0 to p with respect to p, we have
Using double inverse Laplace transform, it follows from (45) that
Moreover, the nonlinear terms and are defined by
where the Adomian polynomials for and are defined by
and
By substitution of Equations (47)–(49) into (46), we obtain:
where some few terms of and for are given by

Some examples are given to confirm the validity, efficiency and accuracy of the method. It is found that this method is efficient and easier to apply to the studied linear and nonlinear Boussinesq models.
