Painlevé Properties And Exact Solutions Of The Generalized Coupled Kdv Equations

Abstract

The generalized coupled Korteweg-de Vries (GCKdV) equations as one case of the four-reduction of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy are studied in details. The Painlevé properties of the model are proved by using the standard Weiss-Tabor-Carnevale (WTC) method, invariant, and perturbative Painlevé approaches. The meaning of the negative index k = −2 is shown, which is indistinguishable from the index k = −1. Using the standard and nonstandard Painlevé truncation methods and the Jacobi elliptic function expansion approach, some types of new exact solutions are obtained.
