Title: Lump solutions to a generalized Bogoyavlensky-Konopelchenko equation
A (2 + 1)-dimensional generalized Bogoyavlensky-Konopelchenko equation that possesses a Hirota bilinear form is considered. Starting with its Hirota bilinear form, a class of explicit lump solutions is computed through conducting symbolic computations with Maple, and a few plots of a specicpresented lump solution are made to shed light on the characteristics of lumps. The result provides a new example of (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations which possess lump solutions.  more » « less

  1. We aim to show the diversity of interaction solutions to the (2+1)-dimensional Ito equation, based on its Hirota bilinear form. The proof is given through Maple symbolic computations. An interesting characteristic in the resulting interaction solutions is the involvement of an arbitrary function. Special cases lead to lump solutions, lump-soliton solutions and lump-kink solutions. Two illustrative examples of the resulting solutions are displayed by three-dimensional plots and contour plots.

  2. Based on the Hirota bilinear form of the (2+1)-dimensional Ito equation, one class of lump solutions and two classes of interaction solutions between lumps and line solitons are generated through analysis and symbolic computations with Maple. Analyticity is naturally guaranteed for the presented lump and interaction solutions, and the interaction solutions reduce to lumps (or line solitons) while the hyperbolic-cosine (or the quadratic function) disappears. Three-dimensional plots and contour plots are made for two specific examples of the resulting interaction solutions.

  4. A (2+1)-dimensional fifth-order KdV-like equation is introduced through a generalized bilinear equation with the prime number . The new equation possesses the same bilinear form as the standard (2+1)-dimensional fifth-order KdV equation. By Maple symbolic computation, classes of lump solutions are constructed from a search for quadratic function solutions to the corresponding generalized bilinear equation. We get a set of free parameters in the resulting lump solutions, of which we can get a nonzero determinant condition ensuring analyticity and rational localization of the solutions. Particular classes of lump solutions with special choices of the free parameters are generated and plotted as illustrative examples.

  5. Lump solutions are analytical rational function solutions localized in all directions in space. We analyze a class of lump solutions, generated from quadratic functions, to nonlinear partial differential equations. The basis of success is the Hirota bilinear formulation and the primary object is the class of positive multivariate quadratic functions. A complete determination of quadratic functions positive in space and time is given, and positive quadratic functions are characterized as sums of squares of linear functions. Necessary and sufficient conditions for positive quadratic functions to solve Hirota bilinear equations are presented, and such polynomial solutions yield lump solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations under the dependent variable logarithmic derivative transformations. Applications are made for a few generalized KP and BKP equations.
