Periodic wave solutions of nonlinear equations by Hirota's bilinear method

We present a review of the normal form theory for weakly dispersive nonlinear wave equations where the leading order phenomena can be described by the KdV equation. This is an infinite dimensional extension of the well-known Poincar\'e-Dulac normal form theory for ordinary differential equations. We also provide a detailed analysis of the interaction problem of solitary wavesas an important application of the normal form theory. Several explicit examples are discussed based o...

In this paper we consider a class of nonlinear wave equation with $x$-dependent coefficients and prove existence of families of time-periodic solutions under the general boundary conditions. Such a model arises from the forced vibrations of a nonhomogeneous string and the propagation of seismic waves in nonisotropic media. The proofs are based on a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction together with a differentiable Nash-Moser iteration scheme.

In this paper, we first consider the Rosenau equation with the quadratic nonlinearity and identify its Lie symmetry algebra. We obtain reductions of the equation to ODEs, and find periodic analytical solutions in terms of elliptic functions. Then, considering a general power-type nonlinearity, we prove the non-existence of solitary waves for some parameters using Pohozaev type identities. The Fourier pseudo-spectral method is proposed for the Rosenau equation with this single...

In this paper, based on the nonlinear fractional equations proposed by Ablowitz, Been, and Carr in the sense of Riesz fractional derivative, we explore the fractional coupled Hirota equation and give its explicit form. Unlike the previous nonlinear fractional equations, this type of nonlinear fractional equation is integrable. Therefore, we obtain the fractional $n$-soliton solutions of the fractional coupled Hirota equation by inverse scattering transformation in the reflect...

In this paper, we present the two-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with the Lax pair. These equations are related to many physical phenomena in the Bose-Einstein condensates, surface waves in deep water and nonlinear optics. The existence of the Lax pair defines integrability for the partial differential equation, so the two-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations are integrable. We obtain bilinear forms of the two-dimensional GNLS e...

The analysis of nonlinear wave equations has experienced a dramatic growth in the last ten years or so. The key factor in this has been the transition from linear analysis, first to the study of bilinear and multilinear wave interactions, useful in the analysis of semilinear equations, and next to the study of nonlinear wave interactions, arising in fully nonlinear equations. The dispersion phenomena plays a crucial role in these problems. The purpose of this article is to hi...

We prove the existence of periodic solutions in a class of nonlinear partial differential equations, including the nonlinear Schroedinger equation, the nonlinear wave equation, and the nonlinear beam equation, in higher dimension. Our result covers cases where the bifurcation equation is infinite-dimensional, such as the nonlinear Schroedinger equation with zero mass, for which solutions which at leading order are wave packets are shown to exist.

Using the generalized perturbation reduction method the Hirota equation is transformed to the coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations for auxiliary functions. A solution in the form of a two-component vector nonlinear pulse is obtained. The components of the pulse oscillate with the sum and difference of the frequencies and the wave numbers. Explicit analytical expressions for the shape and parameters of the two-component nonlinear pulse are presented.

Hirota's bilinear approach is a very effective method to construct solutions for soliton systems. In terms of this method, the nonlinear equations can be transformed into linear equations, and can be solved by using perturbation method. In this paper, we study the bilinear Boussinesq equation and obtain its bilinear B\"{a}cklund transformation. Starting from this bilinear B\"{a}cklund transformation, we also derive its Lax pair and test its integrability.

The Hirota algorithm for solving several integrable nonlinear evolution equations is suggestive of a simple quantized representation of these equations and their soliton solutions over a Fock space of bosons or of fermions. The classical nonlinear wave equation becomes a nonlinear equation for an operator. The solution of this equation is constructed through the operator analog of the Hirota transformation. The classical N-solitons solution is the expectation value of the sol...
