Abstract

In this paper, with the aid of symbolic computation, several kinds of exact solutions including periodic waves, cross-kink waves, and breather are proposed by using a trilinear form for the (2 + 1)-dimensional Sharmo–Tasso–Olver equation. Then, by combing the different forms, the interactions between a lump and one-kink soliton and between a lump and periodic waves are generated. Moreover, the dynamic characteristics of interaction solutions are analyzed graphically by selecting suitable parameters with the help of Maple.

1. Introduction

In soliton theory, the study of exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDES) has attracted more and more attention. Therefore, finding exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations is becoming more and more important for the study of oceanographic engineering, atmosphere, chemistry, biology, finance, and social science. With the aid of Maple or Mathematica, one can get the complex solutions including periodic wave, cross-kink wave, and breather of nonlinear partial differential equations. For example, the complex solutions of the Jimbo-Miwa-like equation [1] and the (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation [2] have been obtained. Later on, interaction solutions to lump-kink, lump-soliton, and lump periodic waves of many NLPDES have been presented so that the complex solutions can be constructed. To get the interaction between the lump and other nonlinear waves, Ma, Lou, and Yang et al. obtained some new ways by using the bilinear method and CRE method [35], which have been applied in many fields [623]. All of them are very important and useful. In this article, based on a trilinear form, our main purpose is to study the periodic waves, cross-kink waves, breather, and interaction solutions between lump-soliton and lump periodic waves of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Sharmo–Tasso–Olver equation by combining a positive quadratic function with an exponential function or a trigonometric function. The (2 + 1)-dimensional Sharmo–Tasso–Olver equation is usually written as follows [24]:where is an analytic function.

The abovementioned equation is a generalization of the (1 + 1)-dimensional Sharmo–Tasso–Olver equation [2527]. It can describe the propagation of a nonlinear dispersive wave of inhomogeneous media. The generalized Kaup–Newell-type hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations is explicitly related to the Sharma-Tasso-Olver equation. By the Hirota direct method and the Bäcklund transformation, the fission and fusion of the solitary waves have been obtained. [28].

In this paper, based on a transformation, we mainly introduce a trilinear form of generalized the (2 + 1)-dimensional Sharmo–Tasso–Olver equation. In Section 3, we present a breather of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Sharmo–Tasso–Olver equation. In Section 4, we study periodic waves and cross-kink waves of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Sharmo–Tasso–Olver equation. In Section 5, with the help of analysis and symbolic computations, by mixing a positive quadratic function with an exponential function or a trigonometric function, the interaction between a lump and one-kink soliton and the interaction between a lump and periodic waves of equation (1) are studied. At the same time, plots are presented to show the change of the equation, and the interactional phenomena are discussed.

2. The Trilinear Equation for the Sharmo–Tasso–Olver Equation

Hirota bilinear forms play an important role in solving the lump solutions. With the widespread use of the bilinear form, trilinear forms and even polylinearity forms gradually appear. By truncated Painleve analysis [29], we can get the solutions of (1) as follows:where is an unknown real function. Through equation (2), the trilinear equation of (1) can be presented as follows:where and are the arbitrary positive numbers. Next, we will use equation (3) to get a series of solutions.

3. Breather Wave Solutions for the Sharmo–Tasso–Olver Equation

We use the extended homoclinic test method [3032] to construct as a form of solutions, which isand and are defined bywhere , are all real numbers. By substituting equation (4) into equation (2), we can get the breather solution of equation (1), which isand and are defined bywhere , , are all real numbers. By substituting (4) into (3), we can get some relations of parameters as follows:where , , and are some free real numbers.
