In this work, we consider the chiral nonlinear Schrödinger equation in (2 + 1)-dimensions, which describes the envelope of amplitude in many physical media. We employ the Lie symmetry analysis method to study the vector field and the optimal system of the equation. The similarity reductions are analyzed by considering the optimal system. Furthermore, we find the power series solution of the equation with convergence analysis. Based on a new conservation law, we construct the conservation laws of the equation by using the resulting symmetries.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to find the exact solutions of a (3 + 1)-dimensional non-integrable Korteweg-de Vries type (KdV-type) equation, which can be used to describe the stability of soliton in a nonlinear media with weak dispersion.Design/methodology/approachThe authors apply the extended Bell polynomial approach, Hirota’s bilinear method and the homoclinic test technique to find the rogue waves, homoclinic breather waves and soliton waves of the (3 + 1)-dimensional non-integrable KdV-type equation. The used approach formally derives the essential conditions for these solutions to exist.FindingsThe results show that the equation exists rogue waves, homoclinic breather waves and soliton waves. To better understand the dynamic behavior of these solutions, the authors analyze the propagation and interaction properties of the these solutions.Originality/valueThese results may help to investigate the local structure and the interaction of waves in KdV-type equations. It is hoped that the results can help enrich the dynamic behavior of such equations.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the lump solutions of the (3 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations by considering a (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (gKP) equation and a (3 + 1)-dimensional variable-coefficient generalized B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (vcgBKP) equation as examples. Design/methodology/approach Based on Hirota’s bilinear theory, a direct method is used to examine the lump solutions of these two equations. Findings The complete non-elastic interaction solutions between a lump and a stripe are also discussed for the equations, which show that the lump solitons are swallowed by the stripe solitons. Originality/value The dynamics of these solutions are analyzed to enrich the diversity of the dynamics of high-dimensional KP-type nonlinear wave equations.
