Line-solitons, line-shocks, and conservation laws of a universal KP-like equation in 2+1 dimensions

A universal KP-like equation in 2+1 dimensions, which models general nonlinear wave phenomena exhibiting p-power nonlinearity, dispersion, and small transversality, is studied. Special cases include the integrable KP (Kadomtsev-Petviashvili) equation and it is modified version, as well as their p-power generalizations. Two main results are obtained. First, all low-order conservation laws are derived, including ones that arise for special powers p. The conservation laws comprise momenta, energy, and Galilean-type quantities, as well as topological charges. Their physical meaning and properties are discussed. Second, all line-soliton solutions are obtained in an explicit form. A parameterization is given using the speed and the direction angle of the line-soliton, and the allowed kinematic region is determined in terms of these parameters. Basic kinematical properties of the line-solitons are also discussed. These properties differ significantly compared to those for KP line-solitons and their p-power generalizations. A line-shock solution is shown to emerge when a special limiting case of the kinematic region is considered.

Conservation laws and line soliton solutions of a family of modified KP equations

A family of modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations (mKP) in 2+1 dimensions is studied. This family includes the integrable mKP equation when the coefficients of the nonlinear terms and the transverse dispersion term satisfy an algebraic condition. The explicit line soliton solution and all conservation laws of low order are derived for all equations in the family and compared to their counterparts in the integrable case.

Conservation laws, symmetries, and line soliton solutions of generalized KP and Boussinesq equations with p-power nonlinearities in two dimensions

Nonlinear generalizations of integrable equations in one dimension, such as the KdV and Boussinesq equations with $p$-power nonlinearities, arise in many physical applications and are interesting in analysis due to critical behaviour. This paper studies analogous nonlinear $p$-power generalizations of the integrable KP equation and the Boussinesq equation in two dimensions. Several results are obtained. First, for all $p\neq 0$, a Hamiltonian formulation of both generalized equations is given. Second, all Lie symmetries are derived, including any that exist for special powers $p\neq0$. Third, Noether's theorem is applied to obtain the conservation laws arising from the Lie symmetries that are variational. Finally, explicit line soliton solutions are derived for all powers $p>0$, and some of their properties are discussed.

Nonlocal symmetries of Riccati and Abel chains and their similarity reductions

We study nonlocal symmetries and their similarity reductions of Riccati and Abel chains. Our results show that all the equations in Riccati chain share the same form of nonlocal symmetry. The similarity reduced $N^{th}$ order ordinary differential equation (ODE), $N=2, 3,4,...$, in this chain yields $(N-1)^{th}$ order ODE in the same chain. All the equations in the Abel chain also share the same form of nonlocal symmetry (which is different from the one that exist in Riccati chain) but the similarity reduced $N^{th}$ order ODE, $N=2, 3,4,$, in the Abel chain always ends at the $(N-1)^{th}$ order ODE in the Riccati chain. We describe the method of finding general solution of all the equations that appear in these chains from the nonlocal symmetry.

Classical Lie symmetries and reductions of a nonisospectral Lax pair

The classical Lie method is applied to a nonisospectral problem associated with a system of partial differential equations in 2+1 dimensions (Maccari A, J. Math. Phys. 39, (1998), 6547-6551). Identification of the classical Lie symmetries provides a set of reductions that give rise to different nontrivial spectral problems in 1+1 dimensions. The form in which the spectral parameter of the 1+1 Lax pair is introduced is carefully described.

1+1 spectral problems arising from the Manakov-Santini system

This paper deals with the spectral problem of the Manakov Santini system. The point Lie symmetries of the Lax pair have been identified. Several similarity reductions arise from these symmetries. An important benefit of our procedure is that the study of the Lax pair instead of the partial differential equations yields the reductions of the eigenfunctions and also the spectral parameter. Therefore, we have obtained five interesting spectral problems in 1+1 dimensions.
