Solutions of a generalized constrained discrete KP (gcdKP) hierarchy with constraint on Lax operator $L^k=(L^k)_{\geq m}+\sum_{i=1}^lq_i\Delta^{-1}\Lambda^mr_i$, are invesitigated by Darboux transformations $T_D(f)=f^{[1]}\cdot\Delta\cdot f^{-1}$ and $T_I(g)=(g^{[-1]})^{-1}\cdot\Delta^{-1}\cdot g$. Due to this special constraint on Lax operator, it is showed that the generating functions $f$ and $g$ of the corresponding Darboux transformations, can only be chosen from (adjoint) wave functions or $(L^k)_{

Elastic collisions of solitons generally have a finite phase shift. When the phase shift has a finitely large value, the two vertices of the (2+1)-dimensional 2-soliton are significantly separated due to the phase shift, accompanied by the formation of a local structure connecting the two V-shaped solitons. We define this local structure as the stem structure. This study systematically investigates the localized stem structures between two solitons in the (2+1)-dimensional asymmetric Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov system. These stem structures, arising from quasi-resonant collisions between the solitons, exhibit distinct features of spatial locality and temporal invariance. We explore two scenarios: one characterized by weakly quasi-resonant collisions (i.e. $a_{12}\approx 0$), and the other by strongly quasi-resonant collisions (i.e. $a_{12}\approx +\infty$). Through mathematical analysis, we extract comprehensive insights into the trajectories, amplitudes, and velocities of the soliton arms. Furthermore, we discuss the characteristics of the stem structures, including their length and extreme points. Our findings shed new light on the interaction between solitons in the (2+1)-dimensional asymmetric Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov system., Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures;Accepted by journal of mathematical physics(July, 2024)

Rogue waves (RWs) can form on the ocean surface due to quasi-four wave resonant interaction or superposition principle. Both mechanisms have been acutely studied. The first of the two is known as the nonlinear focusing mechanism and leads to an increased probability of rogue waves when wave conditions are favourable, i.e., when unidirectionality and high narrowband energy of the wave field are satisfied. This work delves into the dynamics of extreme wave focusing in crossing seas, revealing a distinct type of nonlinear RWs, characterized by a decisive longevity compared to those generated by the dispersive focusing mechanism. In fact, through fully nonlinear hydrodynamic numerical simulations, we show that the interactions between two crossing unidirectional wave beams can trigger fully localized and robust development of RWs. These coherent structures, characterized by a typical spectral broadening then spreading in the form of dual bimodality and recurrent wave group focusing, not only defy the weakening expectation of quasi-four wave resonant interaction in directionally spread wave fields, but also differ from classical focusing mechanisms already mentioned. This has been determined following a rigorous lifespan-based statistical analysis of extreme wave events in our fully nonlinear simulations. Utilizing the coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger framework, we also show that such intrinsic focusing dynamics can also be captured by weakly nonlinear wave evolution equations. This opens new research avenues for further explorations of these complex and intriguing wave phenomena in hydrodynamics as well as other nonlinear and dispersive multi-wave systems.

Analytically solvable models are benchmarks in studies of phase transitions and pattern-forming bifurcations. Such models are known for phase transitions of the second kind in uniform media, but not for localized states (solitons), as integrable equations which produce solitons do not admit intrinsic transitions in them. We introduce a solvable model for symmetry-breaking phase transitions of both the first and second kinds (alias sub- and supercritical bifurcations) for solitons pinned to a combined linear-nonlinear double-well potential, represented by a symmetric pair of delta-functions. Both self-focusing and defocusing signs of the nonlinearity are considered. In the former case, exact solutions are produced for symmetric and asymmetric solitons. The solutions explicitly demonstrate a switch between the symmetry-breaking transitions of the first and second kinds (i.e., sub- and supercritical bifurcations, respectively). In the self-defocusing model, the solution demonstrates the transition of the second kind which breaks antisymmetry of the first excited state., Comment: to be published in Scientific Reports

General higher-order breather and rogue wave (RW) solutions to the two-component long wave--short wave resonance interaction (2-LSRI) model are derived via the bilinear Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy reduction method and are given in terms of determinants. Under particular parametric conditions, the breather solutions can reduce to homoclinic orbits, or a mixture of breathers and homoclinic orbits. There are three families of RW solutions, which correspond to a simple root, two simple roots, and a double root of an algebraic equation related to the dimension reduction procedure. The first family of RW solutions consists of $\frac{N(N+1)}{2}$ bounded fundamental RWs, the second family is composed of $\frac{N_1(N_1+1)}{2}$ bounded fundamental RWs coexisting with another $\frac{N_2(N_2+1)}{2}$ fundamental RWs of different bounded state ($N,N_1,N_2$ being positive integers), while the third one have ${[\widehat{N}_1^2+\widehat{N}_2^2-\widehat{N}_1(\widehat{N}_2-1)]}$ fundamental bounded RWs ($\widehat{N}_1,\widehat{N}_2$ being non-negative integers). The second family can be regarded as the superpositions of the first family, while the third family can be the degenerate case of the first family under particular parameter choices. These diverse RW patterns are illustrated graphically., Comment: This paper contains 32 panges,10 figures and will be published in journal " Stud. Appl. Math."

In this paper, we establish $L^2$-Sobolev space bijectivity of the inverse scattering transform related to the defocusing Ablowitz-Ladik system. On the one hand, in the direct problem, based on the spectral problem, we establish the reflection coefficient and the corespondent Riemann-Hilbert problem. And we also prove that if the potential belongs to $l^{2,k}$ space, then the reflection coefficient belongs to $H^k_\theta(\Sigma)$. On the other hand, in the inverse problem, based on the Riemann-Hilbert problem, we obtain the corespondent reconstructed formula and recover potentials from reflection coefficients. And we also confirm that if reflection coefficients are in $H^k_\theta(\Sigma)$, then we show that potentials also belong to $l^{2,k}$. This study also confirm that for the initial-valued problem of defocusing Ablowitz-Ladik equations, it the initial potential belongs to $l^{2,k}$ and satisfying $\parallel q\parallel_\infty<1$, then the solution for $t\ne0$ also belongs to $l^{2,k}$.

A family of higher-order rational lumps on non-zero constant background of Davey-Stewartson (DS) II equation are investigated. These solutions have multiple peaks whose heights and trajectories are approximately given by asymptotical analysis. It is found that the heights are time-dependent and for large time they approach the same constant height value of the first-order fundamental lump. The resulting trajectories are considered and it is found that the scattering angle can assume arbitrary values in the interval of $(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi)$ which is markedly distinct from the necessary orthogonal scattering for the higher-order lumps on zero background. Additionally, it is illustrated that the higher-order lumps containing multi-peaked $n$-lumps can be regarded as a nonlinear superposition of $n$ first-order ones as $|t|\rightarrow\infty$., Comment: 17 pages,10 figures

In this paper, the PT -symmetric version of the Maccari system is introduced, which can be regarded as a two-dimensional generalization of the defocusing nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Various exact solutions of the nonlocal Maccari system are obtained by means of the Hirota bilinear method, long-wave limit, and Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy method. Bilinear forms of the nonlocal Maccari system are derived for the first time. Simultaneously, a new nonlocal Davey-Stewartson-type equation is derived. Solutions for breathers and breathers on top of periodic line waves are obtained through the bilinear form of the nonlocal Maccari system. Hyperbolic line rogue-wave solutions and semi-rational ones, composed of hyperbolic line rogue wave and periodic line waves are also derived in the long-wave limit. The semi-rational solutions exhibit a unique dynamical behavior. Additionally, general line soliton solutions on constant background are generated by restricting different tau-functions of the KP hierarchy, combined with the Hirota bilinear method. These solutions exhibit elastic collisions, some of which have never been reported before in nonlocal systems. Additionally, the semi-rational solutions, namely (i) fusion of line solitons and lumps into line solitons, and (ii) fission of line solitons into lumps and line solitons, are put forward in terms of the KP hierarchy. These novel semi-rational solutions reduce to 2N-lump solutions of the nonlocal Maccari system with appropriate parameters. Finally, different characteristics of exact solutions for the nonlocal Maccari system are summarized. These new results enrich the structure of waves in nonlocal nonlinear systems, and help to understand new physical phenomena., Comment: "Studies Applied Mathematics, in press"

Within the (2 + 1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries equation framework, new bilinear Backlund transformation and Lax pair are presented based on the binary Bell polynomials and gauge transformation. By introducing an arbitrary function, a family of deformed soliton and deformed breather solutions are presented with the improved Hirotas bilinear method. Choosing the appropriate parameters, their interesting dynamic behaviors are shown in three-dimensional plots. Furthermore, novel rational solutions are generated by taking the limit of obtained solitons. Additionally, two dimensional [2D] rogue waves (localized in both space and time) on the soliton plane are presented, we refer to it as deformed 2D rogue waves. The obtained deformed 2D rogue waves can be viewed as a 2D analog of the Peregrine soliton on soliton plane, and its evolution process is analyzed in detail. The deformed 2D rogue wave solutions are constructed successfully, which are closely related to the arbitrary function. This new idea is also applicable to other nonlinear systems., Comment: "Chinese Physics B, in press"

An integrable extension of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) and Davey-Stewartson (DS) equations is investigated in this paper.We will refer to this integrable extension as the (4+1)-dimensional Fokas equation. The determinant expressions of soliton, breather, rational, and semi-rational solutions of the (4 + 1)-dimensional Fokas equation are constructed based on the Hirota's bilinear method and the KP hierarchy reduction method. The complex dynamics of these new exact solutions are shown in both three-dimensional plots and two-dimensional contour plots. Interestingly, the patterns of obtained high-order lumps are similar to those of rogue waves in the (1 + 1)-dimensions by choosing different values of the free parameters of the model. Furthermore, three kinds of new semi-rational solutions are presented and the classification of lump fission and fusion processes is also discussed. Additionally, we give a new way to obtain rational and semi-rational solutions of (3 + 1)-dimensional KP equation by reducing the solutions of the (4 + 1)-dimensional Fokas equation. All these results show that the (4 + 1)-dimensional Fokas equation is a meaningful multidimensional extension of the KP and DS equations. The obtained results might be useful in diverse fields such as hydrodynamics, non-linear optics and photonics, ion-acoustic waves in plasmas, matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates, and sound waves in ferromagnetic media., Comment: Nonlinear Dynamics, 99, (2020) 3013-3028

A prototypical example of a rogue wave structure in a two-dimensional model is presented in the context of the Davey-Stewartson~II (DS~II) equation arising in water waves. The analytical methodology involves a Taylor expansion of an eigenfunctionof the model's Lax pair which is used to form a hierarchy of infinitely many new eigenfunctions. These are used for the construction of two-dimensional (2D) rogue waves (RWs) of the DS~II equation by the even-fold Darboux transformation (DT). The obtained 2D RWs, which are localized in both space and time, can be viewed as a 2D analogue of the Peregrine soliton and are thus natural candidates to describe oceanic RW phenomena,as well as ones in 2D fluid systems and water tanks., Comment: 6 pages, 3 color figures

Based on the degenerate Darboux transformation, the $n$-order smooth positon solutions for the derivative nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation are generated by means of the general determinant expression of the $N$-soliton solution, and interesting dynamic behaviors of the smooth positons are shown by the corresponding three dimensional plots in this paper. Furthermore, the decomposition process, bent trajectory and the change of the phase shift for the positon solutions are discussed in detail. Additional, three kinds of mixed solutions, namely (1) the hybrid of one-positon and two-positon solutions, (2) the hybrid of two-positon and two-positon solutions, and (3) the hybrid of one-soliton and three-positon solutions are presented and their rather complicated dynamics are revealed., Comment: 11 pages,6 figures

Recently, an integrable system of coupled (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equations was introduced by Fokas (eq. (18) in Nonlinearity 29}, 319324 (2016)). Following this pattern, two integrable equations [eqs.2 and 3] with specific parity-time symmetry are introduced here, under different reduction conditions. For eq. 2, two kinds of periodic solutions are obtained analytically by means of the Hirota's bilinear method. In the long-wave limit, the two periodic solutions go over into rogue waves (RWs) and semi-rational solutions, respectively. The RWs have a line shape, while the semi-rational states represent RWs built on top of the background of periodic line waves. Similarly, semi-rational solutions consisting of a line RW and line breather are derived. For eq. 3, three kinds of analytical solutions,\textit{viz}., breathers, lumps and semi-rational solutions, representing lumps, periodic line waves and breathers are obtained, using the Hirota method. Their dynamics are analyzed and demonstrated by means of three-dimensional plots. It is also worthy to note that eq. 2 can reduce to a (1+1)-dimensional \textquotedblleft reverse-space" nonlocal NLS equation by means of a certain transformation, Lastly, main differences between solutions of eqs.2 and 3 are summarized., Comment: Accepted by Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 13 pages including 10 figures
