Soliton and lump-soliton solutions in the Grammian form for the Bogoyavlenskii–Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

Abstract

AbstractThis paper investigates the Bogoyavlenskii–Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (BKP) equation by using Hirota’s direct method and the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy reduction method. Soliton solutions in the Grammian determinant form for the BKP-II equation are obtained and soliton collisions are shown graphically. Lump-soliton solutions for the BKP-I equation are presented in terms of the Grammian determinants. Various evolution processes of the lump-soliton solutions are demonstrated graphically through the study of three kinds of lump-soliton solutions. The fusion of lumps and kink solitons into kink solitons and the fission of kink solitons into lumps and kink solitons are observed in the interactions of lumps and solitons.
