An exact two loop soliton solution to the Vakhnenko equation is found. The key step in finding this solution is to transform the independent variables in the equation. This leads to a transformed equation for which it is straightforward to find an exact explicit 2-soliton solution by use of Hirota's method. The exact two loop soliton solution to the Vakhnenko equation is then found in implicit form by means of a transformation back to the original independent variables. The nature of the interaction between the two loop solitons depends on the ratio of their amplitudes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
