A consistent Riccati expansion (CRE) method is proposed for obtaining interaction solutions to the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation. Using the CRE method, it is shown that interaction solutions such as the soliton-tangent (or soliton-cotangent) wave cannot be constructed for the mKdV equation. More importantly, exact soliton-cnoidal periodic wave interaction solutions are presented. While soliton-cnoidal interaction solutions were found to degenerate to special resonant soliton solutions for the values of modulus (n) closer to one (upper bound of modulus) in the Jacobi elliptic function, a normal kink-shaped soliton was observed for values of n closer to zero (lower bound).
AbstractThe truncated Painlevé method is developed to obtain the nonlocal residual symmetry and the Bäcklund transformation for the (2+1)-dimensional KdV–mKdV equation. The residual symmetry is localised after embedding the (2+1)-dimensional KdV–mKdV equation to an enlarged one. The symmetry group transformation of the enlarged system is computed. Furthermore, the (2+1)-dimensional KdV–mKdV equation is proved to be consistent Riccati expansion (CRE) solvable. The soliton–cnoidal wave interaction solution in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions and the third type of incomplete elliptic integral is obtained by using the consistent tanh expansion (CTE) method, which is a special form of CRE.
AbstractFrom the known Lax pair of the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, the Lie symmetry group method is successfully applied to find exact invariant solutions for the KdV equation with nonlocal symmetries by introducing two suitable auxiliary variables. Meanwhile, based on the prolonged system, the explicit analytic interaction solutions related to the hyperbolic and Jacobi elliptic functions are derived. Figures show the physical interaction between the cnoidal waves and a solitary wave.
AbstractIn this paper, the integrability of the (2+1)-dimensional cylindrical modified Korteweg-de Vries equation and the (3+1)-dimensional cylindrical Korteweg-de Vries equation with variable coefficients arising in dusty plasmas in its generalised form was studied by two different techniques: the Painlevé test and the consistent Riccati expansion solvability. The integrability conditions and Bäcklund transformations are constructed. By using Bäcklund transformations and the solutions of the Riccati equation many new exact solutions are found for the two equations in this study. Finally, the application of the obtained solutions in dusty plasmas is investigated.
Based on the Hirota bilinear form, lump-type solutions, interaction solutions and periodic wave solutions of a (3[Formula: see text]+[Formula: see text]1)-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation are obtained. The interaction between a lump-type soliton and a stripe soliton including two phenomena: fission and fusion, are illustrated. The dynamical behaviors are shown more intuitively by graphics.
