In this paper, we investigate a (3+1)-dimensional Boiti-Leon-Manna-Pempinelli equation (3D-BMLP). By using bilinear forms under certain conditions, we obtain different wave structures for the 3D-BMLP. Among these waves, lump waves, breather waves, mixed waves, and multi-soliton wave solutions are constructed. The propagation and the dynamical behavior of the obtained solutions are discussed for different values of the free parameters.

INTRODUCTIONDuring the last decades, solitons have been put forward in the study of nonlinear phenomena. Many researchers have extensively studied the dynamical behaviors for different nonlinear evolution equation models that are closely related to the concept of soliton by using different approaches. [1][2][3] The different types of solitons include the lump waves (usually called rogue waves in the presence of certain conditions), breather waves, and mixed waves that describe the interaction between lump wave and another type of soliton waves. 1,2,4,5 It is well known that solitons, of a diversity of physical structures, have attracted much attention in scientific fields, such as optical fiber communications, fluid dynamics, propagation of waves, marine engineering, fluid dynamics, plasma physics, incompressible fluid, ocean and rogue waves, photonics, and many other applications.As stated earlier, the Boiti-Leon-Manna-Pempinelli (BLMP) equation describes the fluid propagation and can be considered as a model for incompressible fluid. The BLMP equation describes the evolution of the horizontal velocity component of the water waves propagating in the xy-plane in an infinite narrow channel of constant depth. 6,7 It is worth noting that incompressible means that the effects of pressure on the fluid density are zero, where the density and the specific volume of the fluid do not change during the flow. Water and many liquids, at constant temperature, can be considered incompressible in most cases.The main objective of this work is to seek for lump waves, breather waves, multi-soliton waves, and mixed waves for a (3+1)-dimensional Boiti-Leon-Manna-Pempinelli equation (3D-BLMP). 3,6 These solutions are obtained by using different choices for the arbitrary functions in bilinear forms. Lump waves, as special nonlinear wave phenomena, have been observed in many fields. 1,2 Lump waves are theoretically regarded as a limit form of soliton in some ways and propagate with higher propagating energy than general solitons. Recently, research works on the lump solutions have been growing more and more that led to promising findings. Therefore, theoretically researches on lump waves are helpful to better understand and predict possible extremes for nonlinear evolution systems.
