The Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation serves as a powerful model for investigating various nonlinear wave phenomena in fluid dynamics, plasma physics, optics, and engineering. In this paper, by combining the method of separation of variables with the modified generalized exponential rational function method (mGERFM), abundant explicit exact non-traveling wave solutions for a (3+1)-dimensional generalized form of the equation are constructed. The proposed method utilizes a transformation approach to reduce the original equation to a simpler form. The derived solutions include several arbitrary functions, which enable the construction of a wide variety of exact solutions to the model. These solutions are expressed through diverse functional forms, such as exponential, trigonometric, and Jacobi elliptic functions. To the best of the author’s knowledge, these results are novel and have not been documented in prior studies. This study enhances understanding of wave dynamics in the equation and provides a practical method applicable to other related equations. Full article

This study sought to deepen our understanding of the dynamical properties of the newly extended (3+1)-dimensional integrable Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation, which models the behavior of ion acoustic waves in plasmas and nonlinear optics. This paper aimed to perform Lie symmetry analysis and derive lump, breather, and soliton solutions using the extended hyperbolic function method and the generalized logistic equation method. It also analyzed the dynamical system using chaos detection techniques such as the Lyapunov exponent, return maps, and the fractal dimension. Initially, we focused on constructing lump and breather soliton solutions by employing Hirota’s bilinear method. Secondly, employing Lie symmetry analysis, symmetry generators were utilized to satisfy the Lie invariance conditions. This approach revealed a seven-dimensional Lie algebra for the extended (3+1)-dimensional integrable KP equation, incorporating translational symmetry (including dilation or scaling) as well as translations in space and time, which were linked to the conservation of energy. The analysis demonstrated that this formed an optimal sub-algebraic system via similarity reductions. Subsequently, a wave transformation method was applied to reduce the governing system to ordinary differential equations, yielding a wide array of exact solitary wave solutions. The extended hyperbolic function method and the generalized logistic equation method were employed to solve the ordinary differential equations and explore closed-form analytical solitary wave solutions for the diffusive system under consideration. Among the results obtained were various soliton solutions. When plotting the results of all the solutions, we obtained bright, dark, kink, anti-kink, peak, and periodic wave structures. The outcomes are illustrated using 2D, 3D, and contour plots. Finally, upon introducing the perturbation term, the system’s behavior was analyzed using chaos detection techniques such as the Lyapunov exponent, return maps, and the fractal dimension. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamic properties of the extended KP equation in fluid mechanics. Full article

In this article, novel methods of analysis to solve the (3+1)-dimensional generalized fractional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation, which plays a crucial role in the modelling of fluid dynamics, particularly wave propagation in complicated media, are presented. The fractional KP equation, a well-established mathematical model, uses fractional derivatives to more adequately describe more general types of nonlinear wave phenomena, with a richer and improved understanding of the dynamics of fluids with non-classical characteristics, such as anomalous diffusion or long-range interactions. Two efficient methods, the exponential rational function technique (ERFT) and the generalized Kudryashov technique (GKT), have been applied to find exact travelling solutions describing soliton behaviour. Solitons, localized waveforms that do not deform during propagation, are central to the dynamics of waves in fluid systems. The characteristics of the obtained results are explored in depth and presented both by three-dimensional plots and by two-dimensional contour plots. Plots provide an explicit picture of how the solitons evolve in space and time and provide insight into the underlying physical phenomena. We also added modulation instability. Our analysis of modulation instability further underscores the robustness and physical relevance of the obtained solutions, bridging theoretical advancements with observable phenomena. Full article

This study investigates the (2+1)-dimensional asymmetric Nizhnik–Novikov–Veselov (ANNV) equation, a significant model in nonlinear science, using the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy reduction method. Despite the extensive research on the ANNV equation, a comprehensive exploration of its solutions using the KP hierarchy reduction method is lacking. This gap is addressed by identifying constraint conditions that transform a specific KP hierarchy equation into the ANNV equation, thereby enabling the derivation of its Gram determinant solutions. By selecting appropriate τ functions, we obtain breather solutions and analyze their dynamic behavior during wave oscillations. Additionally, lump solutions are derived through long-wave limit analysis, revealing their unique characteristics. This study further explores hybrid solutions that combine breathers and lumps, providing new insights to the interaction between these localized wave phenomena. Our findings enhance the understanding of the ANNV equation’s dynamics and contribute to the broader field of nonlinear wave theory. Full article

In this work, we prove that the initial value problem for a system of two Kadomtsev–Petviashvili II (KP II) equations coupled via both dispersive and nonlinear terms is locally well-posed in anisotropic Gevrey spaces Gs1,s2δ1,δ2,ϱ(R2)×Gs1,s2δ1,δ2,ϱ(R2) with 1/3<s1<0 and s20. This advancement extends recent findings regarding the well-posedness of this model within anisotropic Sobolev spaces Hs1,s2(R2)×Hs1,s2(R2). The current strategy is based on both linear and nonlinear estimates. Additionally, to further explore the system’s temporal behavior, we establish that Gevrey regularity of order 3ρ (or simply Gevrey—3ρ regularity in time) exists. Full article

In a recent paper, denoted by MG24 in this text, we used a modified Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation to describe the evolution of wind-driven water wave packets in shallow water. The modifications were several forcing/friction terms describing wave growth due to critical-level instability in the air, wave decay due to laminar friction in the water at the air–water interface, wave growth due to turbulent wave stress in the air near the interface, and wave decay due to a turbulent bottom boundary layer. The outcome was a KdV–Burgers type of equation that can be a stable or unstable model depending on the forcing/friction parameters. In most cases that we examined, many solitary waves are generated, suggesting the formation of a soliton gas. In this paper, we extend that model in the horizontal direction transverse to the wind forcing to produce a similarly modified Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (KPII for water waves in the absence of surface tension). A modulation theory is described for the cnoidal and solitary wave solutions of the unforced KP equation, focusing on the forcing/friction terms and the transverse dependence. Then, using similar initial conditions to those used in MG24, that is a sinusoidal wave with a slowly varying envelope, but supplemented here with a transverse sinusoidal term, we find through numerical simulations that the radiation field upstream is enhanced, but that a soliton gas still emerges downstream as in MG24.

We give some of our results over the past few years about rogue waves concerning some partial differential equations, such as the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS), the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (KPI), the Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel equation (LPD) and the Hirota equation (H). For the NLS and KP equations, we give different types of representations of the solutions, in terms of Fredholm determinants, Wronskians and degenerate determinants of order 2N. These solutions are called solutions of order N. In the case of the NLS equation, the solutions, explicitly constructed, appear as deformations of the Peregrine breathers PN as the last one can be obtained when all parameters are equal to zero. At order N, these solutions are the product of a ratio of two polynomials of degree N(N+1) in x and t by an exponential depending on time t and depending on 2N2 real parameters: they are called quasi-rational solutions. For the KPI equation, we explicitly obtain solutions at order N depending on 2N2 real parameters. We present different examples of rogue waves for the LPD and Hirota equations. Full article

We looked at the (3+1)-dimensional fractional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili–Boussinesq (KP-B) equation, which comes up in fluid dynamics, plasma physics, physics, and superfluids, as well as when connecting the optical model and hydrodynamic domains. Furthermore, unlike the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (KPE), which permits the modeling of waves traveling in both directions, the zero-mass assumption, which is required for many scientific applications, is not required by the KP-B equation. In several applications in engineering and physics, taking these features into account allows researchers to acquire more precise conclusions, particularly in studies pertaining to the dynamics of water waves. The foremost purpose of this manuscript is to establish diverse solutions in the form of exponential, trigonometric, hyperbolic, and rational functions of the (3+1)-dimensional fractional (KP-B) via the application of four analytical methods. This KP-B model has fruitful applications in fluid dynamics and plasma physics. Additionally, in order to better explain the potential and physical behavior of the equation, the relevant models of the findings are visually indicated, and 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) graphics are drawn.

This study focuses on the mathematical and physical analysis of a truncated M-fractional (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Kadomtsev–Petviashvili-modified equal-width model. The distinct types of the exact wave solitons of an important real-world equation called the truncated M-fractional (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Kadomtsev–Petviashvili-modified equal-width (KP-mEW) model are achieved. This model is used to explain ocean waves, matter-wave pulses, waves in ferromagnetic media, and long-wavelength water waves. The diverse patterns of waves on the oceans are yielded by the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili-modified equal-width (KP-mEW) equation. We obtain kink-, bright-, and periodic-type soliton solutions by using the expa function and modified extended tanh function methods. The solutions are more valuable than the existing results due to the use of a truncated M-fractional derivative. These solutions may be useful in different areas of science and engineering. The methods applied are simple and useful. Full article

The nonlinear excitations of ion acoustic (IA) structures in an electron beam embedded plasma composed of Vasyliunas–Cairns (VC) distributed hot electrons has been studied. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) from the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation with suitable transformation has been derived from rational solutions of NLSE; breathers have been studied. It has been shown that the nonthermality and superthermality of the electrons, the electron beam density, and the beam velocity alter the characteristics of different kinds of breathers. This investigation may be important in interpreting the physics of nonlinear structures in the upper layer of magnetosphere. Full article

To develop new hyperbolic, trigonometric, elliptic, and rational solutions, the Riccati equation and Jacobi elliptic function methods are employed. Because the KP equation is required for explaining the development of quasi-one-dimensional shallow-water waves, the solutions obtained can be used to interpret various attractive physical phenomena. To display how the multiplicative white noise and beta-derivative impact the exact solutions of the SKPE-BD, we plot a few graphs in MATLAB and display different 3D and 2D figures. We deduce how multiplicative noise stabilizes the solutions of SKPE-BD at zero. Full article

Symmetries are crucial to the investigation of nonlinear physical processes, particularly the evaluation of a differential problem in the real world. This study focuses on the investigation of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) model within a (3+1)-dimensional domain, governing the behavior of wave propagation in a medium characterized by both nonlinearity and dispersion. The inquiry employs two distinct analytical techniques to derive multiple soliton solutions and multiple solitary wave solutions. These methods include the modified Sardar sub-equation technique and the Darboux transformation (DT). The modified Sardar sub-equation technique is used to obtain multiple soliton solutions, while the DT is introduced to develop two bright and two dark soliton solutions. These solutions are presented alongside their corresponding constraint conditions and illustrated through 3-D, 2-D, and contour plots to physically portray the derived solutions. The results demonstrate that the employed analytical techniques are useful and have not yet been explored in the context of the analyzed models. The proposed methodologies are valuable and can be applied to additional nonlinear evolutionary models employed to describe nonlinear physical models within the domain of nonlinear science.

We examined the (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili–Boussinesq (KP-B) equation, which arises not only in fluid dynamics, superfluids, physics, and plasma physics but also in the construction of connections between the hydrodynamic and optical model fields. Moreover, unlike the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (KPE), the KP-B equation allows the modeling of waves traveling in both directions and does not require the zero-mass assumption, which is necessary for many scientific applications. Considering these properties enables researchers to obtain more precise results in many physics and engineering applications, especially in research on the dynamics of water waves. We used the modified extended tanh function method (METFM) and Kudryashov’s method, which are easily applicable, do not require further mathematical manipulations, and give effective results to investigate the physical properties of the KP-B equation and its soliton solutions. As the output of the work, we obtained some new singular soliton solutions to the governed equation and simulated them with 3D and 2D graphs for the reader to understand clearly. These results and graphs describe the single and singular soliton properties of the (3+1)-dimensional KP-B equation that have not been studied and presented in the literature before, and the methods can also help in obtaining the solution to the evolution equations and understanding wave propagation in water wave dynamics.

The celebrated Korteweg–de Vries and Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equations are prototypical examples of integrable evolution equations in one and two spatial dimensions, respectively. The question of constructing integrable evolution equations in three-spatial dimensions has been one of the most important open problems in the history of integrability. Here, we study an integrable extension of the KP equation in three-spatial dimensions, which can be derived using a specific reduction of the integrable generalization of the KP equation in four-spatial and two-temporal dimensions derived in (Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, (2006) 190201). For this new integrable extension of the KP equation, we construct smooth multi-solitons, high-order breathers, and high-order rational solutions, by using Hirota’s bilinear method. Full article

This investigation focuses on two novel Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equations with time-dependent variable coefficients that describe the nonlinear wave propagation of small-amplitude surface waves in narrow channels or large straits with slowly varying width and depth and non-vanishing vorticity. These two variable coefficients, Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (VCKP) equations in (2+1)-dimensions, are the main extensions of the KP equation. Applying the Lie symmetry technique, we carry out infinitesimal generators, potential vector fields, and various similarity reductions of the considered VCKP equations. These VCKP equations are converted into nonlinear ODEs via two similarity reductions. The closed-form analytic solutions are achieved, including in the shape of distinct complex wave structures of solitons, dark and bright soliton shapes, double W-shaped soliton shapes, multi-peakon shapes, curved-shaped multi-wave solitons, and novel solitary wave solitons. All the obtained solutions are verified and validated by using back substitution to the original equation through Wolfram Mathematica. We analyze the dynamical behaviors of these obtained solutions with some three-dimensional graphics via numerical simulation. The obtained variable coefficient solutions are more relevant and useful for understanding the dynamical structures of nonlinear KP equations and shallow water wave models. Full article
