Soliton molecules and some novel hybrid solutions for (3+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

Abstract

In recent years, soliton molecules have received reinvigorating scientific interests in physics and other fields. Soliton molecules have been successfully found in optical experiments. In this paper, we attribute the solutions of the (3+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (BKP) equation by employing the bilinear method. Based on the [Formula: see text]-soliton solutions, we establish the soliton molecules, asymmetric solitons and some novel hybrid solutions of this equation by means of the velocity resonance mechanism and the long wave limit method. Finally, we give dynamic graphs of soliton molecules, asymmetric solitons and some novel hybrid solutions.
