Line Soliton Interactions for Shallow Ocean Waves and Novel Solutions with Peakon, Ring, Conical, Columnar, and Lump Structures Based on Fractional KP Equation

Abstract

It is well known that the celebrated Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation has many important applications. The aim of this article is to use fractional KP equation to not only simulate shallow ocean waves but also construct novel spatial structures. Firstly, the definitions of the conformable fractional partial derivatives and integrals together with a physical interpretation are introduced and then a fractional integrable KP equation consisting of fractional KPI and KPII equations is derived. Secondly, a formula for the fractional n -soliton solutions of the derived fractional KP equation is obtained and fractional line one-solitons with bend, wavelet peaks, and peakon are constructed. Thirdly, fractional X-, Y- and 3-in-2-out-type interactions in the fractional line two- and three-soliton solutions of the fractional KPII equation are simulated for shallow ocean waves. Besides, a falling and spreading process of a columnar structure in the fractional line two-soliton solution is also simulated. Finally, a fractional rational solution of the fractional KP equation is obtained including the lump solution as a special case. With the development of time, the nonlinear dynamic evolution of the fractional lump solution of the fractional KPI equation can change from ring and conical structures to lump structure.

Modified Homotopy Perturbation Method and Approximate Solutions to a Class of Local Fractional Integrodifferential Equations

“…The local fractional calculus [1] developed in recent years provides a powerful mathematical tool to handling with such type of nondifferentiable functions. Fractional calculus, which is widely believed to have originated more than 300 years ago, has attracted much attention [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. It is of theoretical and practical value to solve fractional differential equations (DEs) directly connecting with fractional dynamical processes in a great many fields.…”

Riemann–Hilbert Approach for Constructing Analytical Solutions and Conservation Laws of a Local Time-Fractional Nonlinear Schrödinger Type Equation

“…Fractional calculus and fractal calculus have attracted much attention [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] due to the increasing number of applications in different fields. Among them, the two-scale fractal theory developed by He et al [17][18][19] is effectively established for dealing with many discontinuous problems; the local fractional derivative (LFD) [5,20,21] can be adopted to solve some non-differentiable problems.…”
