It was reported in the literature that some nonlinear wave equations have the so-called loop- and inverted-loop-soliton solutions, as well as the so-called loop-periodic solutions. Are these true mathematical solutions or just numerical artifacts? To answer the question, this article investigates all traveling wave solutions in the parameter space for three typical nonlinear wave equations from a theoretical viewpoint of dynamical systems. Dynamical analysis shows that all these loop- and inverted-loop-solutions are merely visual illusion of numerical artifacts. To reveal the nature of such special phenomena, this article also offers the mathematical parametric representations of these traveling wave solutions precisely in analytic forms.

The paper presents the results of point symmetrys Lie algebras for third-order nonlinear wave equations calculating linked into a chain by Bäcklund transformations. Calculations are carried out by using Lie-Ovsyannikov method of group analysis. The basic algebras of point symmetries of the indicated equations are found, all possible cases of their extension are revealed, and the commutator tables of algebras found are calculated.

We present a method for the classification of all weak travelling-wave solutions for some dispersive nonlinear wave equations. When applied to the Camassa–Holm or the Degasperis–Procesi equation, the approach shows the existence of not only smooth, peaked and cusped travelling-wave solutions, but also more exotic solutions with fractal-like wave profiles.
