Derivation of some solitary wave solutions for the (3+1)-dimensional pKP-BKP equation via the IME tanh function method

Abstract

This study is focusing on the integrable (3+1)-dimensional equation that combines the potential Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (pKP) equation with B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (BKP) equation, also known as the pKP-BKP equation. The idea of combining integrable equations has the potential to produce a variety of unexpected outcomes such as resonance of solitons. This article provides a wide range of alternative exact solutions for the pKP-BKP equation in three dimensional form, including dark solitons, singular solitons, singular periodic solutions, Jacobi elliptic function (JEF) solutions, rational solutions and exponential solution. The improved modified extended (IME) tanh function method is employed to investigate these solutions. All of the obtained solutions for the investigated model are presented using the Wolfram Mathematica program. To further help in understanding the solutions’ physical characteristics and dynamic structure, the article provides visual representations of some derived solutions using 2D representation in addition to the 3D graphs via symbolic computation. This article aims to use a potent strategy using a powerful scheme to derive different solutions with various structures. Additionally, the results greatly improve and enhance the literature’s solutions to a combined pKP-BKP equation and allow deep understanding of the nonlinear dynamic system through different exact solutions.
