Lump solutions of the fractional Kadomtsev--Petviashvili equation
Abstract
Of concern are lump solutions for the fractional Kadomtsev--Petviashvili (fKP) equation. As in the classical Kadomtsev--Petviashvili equation, the fKP equation comes in two versions: fKP-I (strong surface tension case) and fKP-II (weak surface tension case). We prove the existence of nontrivial lump solutions for the fKP-I equation in the energy subcritical case $\alpha>\frac{4}{5}$ by means of variational methods. It is already known that there exist neither nontrivial lump solutions belonging to the energy space for the fKP-II equation nor for the fKP-I when $\alpha \leq \frac{4}{5}$. Furthermore, we show that for any $\alpha>\frac{4}{5}$ lump solutions for the fKP-I equation are smooth and decay quadratically at infinity. Numerical experiments are performed for the existence of lump solutions and their decay. Moreover, numerically, we observe cross-sectional symmetry of lump solutions for the fKP-I equation.
