“…As pointed out in our pervious work [2,7], soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solutions can be regarded as dressed solitons, namely, solitons dressed by cnoidal periodic waves. After taking the limit tanh(f) = ±1 in the solution (14), i.e., removing the soliton cores of v and w, only the cnoidal periodic wave parts remain. To illustrate the soliton-cnoidal periodic wave structure in more detail, it is exhibited in a graphical way with the parameters c 2 = 0, δ = b 1 = λ = 1, ω 0 = 2 and m = 0.01; Figures 1A,B display the profiles of the soliton-cnoidal wave structures at t = 0; Figures 1C,D depict the soliton cores of v and w, where the dashed lines show the left parts of the solitons, i.e., taking tanh(f) = −1 in the solution (14), and the right parts are displayed by the solid lines.…”
