Title: Soliton resonance and web structure in the Davey–Stewartson system
Abstract We write down and characterize a large class of nonsingular multi-soliton solutions of the defocusing Davey–Stewartson II equation. In particular we study their asymptotics at space infinities as well as their interaction patterns in the xy -plane, and we identify several subclasses of solutions. Many of these solutions describe phenomena of soliton resonance and web structure. We identify a subclass of solutions that is the analogue of the soliton solutions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili II equation. In addition to this subclass, however, we show that more general solutions exist, describing phenomena that have no counterpart in the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation, including V-shape solutions and soliton reconnection.  more » « less

  1. Based on symbolic computations, lump solutions to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili I (KPI) equation with a self-consistent source (KPIESCS) are constructed by using the Hirota bilinear method and an ansatz technique. In contrast with lower-order lump solutions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation, the presented lump solutions to the KPIESCS exhibit more diverse nonlinear phenomena. The method used here is more natural and simpler.

  2. Resonant Y-shaped soliton solutions to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili II (KPII) equation are modelled as shock solutions to an infinite family of modulation conservation laws. The fully two-dimensional soliton modulation equations, valid in the zero dispersion limit of the KPII equation, are demonstrated to reduce to a one-dimensional system. In this same limit, the rapid transition from the larger Y soliton stem to the two smaller legs limits to a travelling discontinuity. This discontinuity is a multivalued, weak solution satisfying modified Rankine–Hugoniot jump conditions for the one-dimensional modulation equations. These results are applied to analytically describe the dynamics of the Mach reflection problem, V-shaped initial conditions that correspond to a soliton incident upon an inward oblique corner. Modulation theory results show excellent agreement with direct KPII numerical simulation.

  3. With the aid of a computer algebra system, we present lump solutions to a (2+1)-dimensional extended Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (eKP) and give the sufficient and necessary conditions to guarantee analyticity and rational localization of the solutions. We plot a few solutions for some specific values of the free parameters involved and finally derive one of the lump solutions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equations from the lump solutions of the eKP equation.

  4. Abstract

    We construct a broad class of solutions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP)‐I equation by using a reduced version of the Grammian form of the‐function. The basic solution is a linear periodic chain of lumps propagating with distinct group and wave velocities. More generally, our solutions are evolving linear arrangements of lump chains, and can be viewed as the KP‐I analogues of the family of line‐soliton solutions of KP‐II. However, the linear arrangements that we construct for KP‐I are more general, and allow degenerate configurations such as parallel or superimposed lump chains. We also construct solutions describing interactions between lump chains and individual lumps, and discuss the relationship between the solutions obtained using the reduced and regular Grammian forms.

  5. Abstract

    In the present paper, we are with integrable discretization of a modified Camassa–Holm (mCH) equation with linear dispersion term. The key of the construction is the semidiscrete analog for a set of bilinear equations of the mCH equation. First, we show that these bilinear equations and their determinant solutions either in Gram‐type or Casorati‐type can be reduced from the discrete Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation through Miwa transformation. Then, by scrutinizing the reduction process, we obtain a set of semidiscrete bilinear equations and their general soliton solution in Gram‐type or Casorati‐type determinant form. Finally, by defining dependent variables and discrete hodograph transformations, we are able to derive an integrable semidiscrete analog of the mCH equation. It is also shown that the semidiscrete mCH equation converges to the continuous one in the continuum limit.
