Prediction of general high-order lump solutions in the Davey–Stewartson II equation

Abstract

Under investigation in this work is the Davey–Stewartson (DS) II equation. Based on the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) reduction method and Schur polynomial theory, we construct the general high-order lump solutions. The prediction solutions consisting of fundamental lumps and their positions are derived by extracting leading-order asymptotics of the Schur polynomials of true solutions. When indexes of the solutions are chosen as different positive integer combinations, the prediction solutions at large time reflect two classes of lump patterns of the true solutions. The first class of lump pattern with triangle shape is analytically described by root structure of the Yablonskii–Vorob’ev polynomial. When time t evolves from large negative to large positive, the triangle lump reverses itself along the y -direction. The second class of lump pattern consists of non-triangle in outer region, which is analytically described by non-zero root structure of the Wronskian–Hermit polynomial, together with possible triangle in the inner region, which is analytically described by root structure of the Yablonskii–Vorob’ev polynomial. In addition, the non-triangle lump pattern in outer regions rotates at an angle while the possible triangle lump pattern in the inner region reverses itself along the y -direction when time t evolves from large negative to large positive. The obtained results improve our understanding of time evolution mechanisms of high-order lumps.
