Under investigation in this paper is a (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation generated via the Jaulent-Miodek hierarchy for nonlinear water waves. With the aid of binary Bell polynomials and symbolic computation, bilinear forms and Bäcklund transformations are derived. N -soliton solutions are obtained through the Hirota method. Soliton propagation is discussed analytically. The bell-shaped soliton, anti-bell-shaped soliton and shock wave can be seen with some parameters selected. Soliton interactions are analyzed graphically: four kinds of elastic interactions are presented: two parallel bell-shaped solitons, two parallel anti-bell-shaped solitons, three parallel bell-shaped solitons and three parallel anti-bell-shaped solitons. We see that (1) the solitons maintain their original amplitudes, widths and directions except for some phase shifts after each interaction, and (2) the smaller the soliton amplitude is, the faster the soliton travels.

Under investigation in this paper is the [Formula: see text]-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system for an optical fiber with birefringence. With the Hirota method, bilinear forms of the system are derived via an auxiliary function, and the bright one- and two-soliton solutions are constructed. Based on those soliton solutions, soliton propagation and interaction are investigated analytically and graphically. Non-singular cases of the bright one-soliton solutions are presented, from which the single-peak and two-peak solitons can arise, respectively. Through the analysis on the bright two-soliton solutions, the elastic and inelastic interactions are investigated. Three kinds of the elastic interactions are presented, between the two one-peak solitons, a one-peak soliton and a two-peak soliton, and the two two-peak solitons.
