In this article, the lump-type solutions of the new integrable time-dependent coefficient (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation are investigated by applying the Hirota bilinear technique and a suitable ansatz. The equation is applied in the modeling of propagation of small-amplitude surface waves in large channels or straits of slowly varying width, depth and non-vanishing vorticity. Applying the Bell's polynomials approach, we successfully acquire the bilinear form of the equation. We firstly find a general form of quadratic function solution of the bilinear form and then expand it as the sums of squares of linear functions satisfying some conditions. Most importantly, we acquire two lump-type and a bell-shaped soliton solutions of the equation. To our knowledge, the lump type solutions of the equation are reported for the first time in this paper. The physical interpretation of the results are discussed and represented graphically.

1. Introduction

Nonlinear equations (NLEs) have been the subject of concentrate in different parts of numerical physical sciences, for example, material science, science, and so forth. The explanatory arrangements of such conditions are of essential significance since a great deal of scientific physical models are depicted by NLEs [1]. Among the conceivable answers for NLEs, certain unique frame arrangements may depend just on a solitary blend of factors, for example, solitons. In soliton theory [2], optical solitons, painleve analysis, investigation of integrability of systems of equations, Hamiltonian structure, Bell's polynomials, Backlaund transformations, etc. are the hot topics in recent time. Lump solutions are important models to used to describe certain complicated physical phenomena in science [3]. Lump solution is a kind of special rational function solutions localized along all directions in the space. Lump solitons have been intensively studied and some of the results have been reported in [46]. The be integrable time-dependent coefficient (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili model that will be studied in this work is given by Wazwaz [7]:

(ψt+ψψx+ψxxx)x+3ψyy+g(t)ψxx=0,    (1)

where ψ(x, t, y) is a function of the temporal variable t and two scaled spatial variables x and y. g(t) is a functions of t. The equation is applied in the modeling of propagation of small-amplitude surface waves in large channels or straits of slowly varying width, depth and non-vanishing vorticity. (1) was proposed by WazWaz in [7] where the integrability property of the equation were explicitly demonstrated and the multiple complex and multiple real soliton solutions of the equation were reported. Variable-coefficients KP equations have been investigated thoroughly in the literature [811].

To our knowledge, the lump soliton solutions to (1) have not been studied using the Hirota Bilinear methods. In this article, by applying the concept of Bell polynomials [3, 4] and Hirota Bilinear approach [1214], the lump soliton solutions of (1) will be derived. In addition, a Bell-shaped soliton solution will also be derived using an efficient ansatz [15].

2. Bell Polynomial

In this part, we recall some important terminologies about the Bell polynomials [1214].

Let f = f(y1, y2, …, yn) be a ℂ function, the multi-dimensional Bell polynomials are defined by the following:

Yn1y1,...,mryr(f)Ym1,...,mr(fl1y1,...,flryr)=efy1m1...yrmref,    (2)

where (fl1y1,,flryr)=y1l1yrlr(0limi,  i=1,2,r). Taking m = 1, Bell polynomials is given by:

Ymy(f)Ym(f1,...,fm) m!s1!...sm!(1!)s1...(m!)smf1s1...fnsm,       m=k = 1mksk.    (3)

The multi-dimensional Bell polynomials can be represented by Gilson et al. [14]:

Ym1y1,...mryr(v,w)=Ym1,...,mr(f)|fl1y1,...,flryr                                                 ={ vl1y1,...,flryr,  l1+...lr  is oddwl1y1,...,flryr,  l1+...lr  is even    (4)
Yy=vy,  Y2y(v,w)=vx2+w2y,  Yy,t(v,w)=vyvt+wyt,             Y3y(v,w)=v3y+3vyw2y+vy2,...    (5)

The conjunction between Y-polynomials and the Hirota bilinear operator are related by the following identity:

Ym1y1,...,mryr(v=lnF/G,  w=lnFG).(FG)1Dy1m1...DyrmrF.G,    (6)

where F and G are functions of y and t. Setting F = G, the identity (6) becomes:

F2Dy1m1...DyrmrF.F=Y(0,2lnF)                                             ={ 0,      m 1 +... m r   is odd Y m 1 y 1 ,... m r y r (q),     m 1 +... m r   is even.       (7)

The first few P-polynomials can be represented by the following:

P2y(q)=q2y,    Pyt(q)=qyt,    P4y(q)=q4y+3q2y2,    P6y(q)=q6y+15q2yq4y+15q2y3,    (8)

The Bell polynomials Ym1y1, …mryr(v, w) can be separated into certain polynomials and Y-polynomials:

(FG)1Dy1m1DyrmrF.G=Ym1y1,mryr(v,w)|v=lnF/G,w=lnFG)=m1++mr=evenl1 = 0m1lr = 0mri = 0r( m i l i)Pl1y1,,lryr(q)Y(mrlr)yr(v).    (9)

The main property of the Bell polynomials:

Ym1y1,nryr(v)|v = ln  ψ = ψm1y1,,mryr/ψ    (10)

means that the binary Bell polynomials Ym1y1, …mryr(v, w) can be linearized by applying the Hopf-Cole transformation v = lnψ, that is ψ = F/G

Theorem 1. By applying the transformation,

ψ=12(lnf)xx,    (11)

(1) bilinearized into

(Dx4+g(t)Dx2+DtDx+3Dy2).f.f=0,    (12)

where f = f(x, t, y).

Proof: Introducing the potential field variable q on setting

ψ=h(t)qxx,    (13)

where h = h(t) is a function of t. Substituting (13), we can obtain

12h(t)qxx2+g(t)qxx+3qyy+qxxxx+qxt=0.    (14)

Integrating (14) with respect to x, setting h(t) = 6 and by means of formula (8), (14) can be converted to P-polynomials represented by:

3P2y(q)+g(t)P2x(q)+P4x(q)+Pxt(q)=0.    (15)

By applying (10), we obtain:

ψ=2lnfψ=h(t)qxx=12(lnf)xx.    (16)

3. Lump-Type Solitons to (1)

The Hirota bilinear form (12) of (1) is equivalent to the following:

3ffyy2g(t)fx2+2fg(t)fxx+6fxx28fxfxxx+2ffxxxx2fxft+2ffxt=0.    (17)

To derive the lump-type soliton of (1), we consider f in the following form [3]

f=XTBX+f0,    (18)

where B = (aij)4×4 is a symmetric matrix, X = (1, x, y, t)T, aij and f0 are constants. (18) can be expanded as:

f=a22x2+a44t2+a33y2+2a12x+2a13y+2a14t+a23xy+2a24tx+2a34ty+a11+f0.    (19)

Putting (19) into (12) and performing all the necessary algebraic calculations by symbolic computations, we acquire the following system of algebraic expressions:

6f0a33+ 6a11a338a12a14+24a222+4g(t)(2a122 +(f0+a11) a22)+4f0a24+4a11a24=0,    (20)
-2 a22(2g(t)a22+2a24-3a33)=0,    (21)
(-8g(t)a12a22-8a14a22+12a12a33)=0,    (22)
 (4 a14 a23+8 g(t)(a13 a22a12 a23)+8a13a24+12a13a338a12a34)=0,    (23)
(-4g(t)a22a23+6a23a33-8a22a34)=0,    (24)
(4a24a33+6a332-2g(t)(a232-2a22a33)-4a23a34)=0,    (25)
4 (2g(t)(a14a22-2a12a24)+3a14a33-2a12a44)=0,    (26)
(-8g(t)a22a24+12a24a33-8a22a44)=0,    (27)
(12a33a34+g(t)(-8a23a24+8a22a34)-4a23a44)=0,    (28)
(2(-2a24+3a33)a44+g(t)(-8a242+4a22a44))=0.    (29)

Solving (20) to (29), we acquire the following soliton parameters:

{a22=a242a33a342,a13=a14a33a34,a12=a14a24a33a342,a44=a342a33,a23=2a24a33a34,g(t)=-(2a24a33-3a332)a3422a242a332,f0=-a11+a33(-2a244+a142a342)a344.    (30)

where a33 ≠ 0, a24 ≠ 0, a34 ≠ 0 are necessary and sufficient conditions which must be satisfied for the solution to exist. From (30), we obtain the following solution of f under the general quadratic function:

f=1a344{2a244a33+a242a33a342x2+2a24a342(a14a33x+a34(a33y+ta34))+a342(a14a33+a34(a33y+a34t))2a33}.    (31)

Using (30), under the transformation (11), we acquire the following lump-type solution of (1).

ψ(x,t,y)=12(ffxxfx2)f2 =12f2a346{2a242(2a244a332+x2a242a332a342 +2xa24a33a342(a14a33+a34(ya33+ta34)) +a342(a14a33+a34(ya33+ta34))2)}.    (32)

It should be noted that the positiveness of f cannot be guaranteed. To tackle this problem, we expand (18) as the sums of squares of linear function f and introduce the following theorem:

Theorem 2. (Cholesky Decomposition Theorem [3]). Let B = (aij) be a real symmetric positive matrix, then it can be simplified into the following:

B=RRT,    (33)

where R = (rij) is a triangular matrix. The relationship between elements in B and elements in R is given below:

rij={ (aiik=1i1rik2)2,    (i = j),1rii(aiik=1i1rikrjk),(i>j),0,       (i<j).    (34)

In accordance with Theorem 2, (18) can be rewritten as:

f=XTRRTX+f0=(RTX)T(RTX)+f0=(r11+r12x+r13y+r14t)2+(r22x+r23y+r24t)2+(r33y+r34t)2+r442t2+f0.    (35)

(35) guarantees the positive definiteness of f. Putting (35) into (12) and solving the result, we obtain the following soliton coefficients:

{ r23=0,r22=0,r33=0,r31=0,r24=r342r442,g(t)=3r1322r12r142r122,f0=2r124r132.     (36)

Where r23 ≠ 0, r22 ≠ 0 are necessary and sufficient conditions which must be satisfied for the solutions to exist. From (36), we obtain the solution of f as:

f=-2r124r132t2+(r11+r12x+r13y+r14t)2+r342t2+t2r442+(-r342-r442).    (37)

Putting (36) into (35) using (11), we acquire the following lump-type solution of (1) under positive quadratic function:

ψ(x,t,y)=12(ffxx-fx2)f2=12{-4r122(r11+xr12+yr13+tr14)2(-2r124r132+(r11+xr12+yr13+tr14)2+t2r342+t2r442+t2(-r342-r442))2+2r122-2r124r132+(r11+xr12+yr13+tr14)2+t2r342+t2r442+t2(-r342-r442)}.    (38)

4. Lump Solitons to (1)

4.1. Lump Solitons to (1) Using (32)

Setting the following soliton parameters a24 = 1, a33 = 2, a14 = 1, a34 = 3 in (32), we obtain the following lump solution to (1):

ψ(x,t,y)=-864(8+36x2+36x(2+3(3t+2y))+9(2+3(3t+2y))2)(-8+36x2+36x(2+3(3t+2y))+9(2+3(3t+2y))2)2.    (39)

4.2. Lump Solitons to (1) Using (38)

Setting the following soliton parameters: r11 = 1, r12 = 2, r13 = −1, r44 = 1, r34 = 3, r14 = 1 in (38), we acquire the following lump solution to (1)

ψ(x,t,y)=12{8-32+(1+t+2x-y)2-16(1+t+2x-y)2(-32+(1+t+2x-y)2)2}.    (40)

5. Bell-Shaped Soliton to (1)

The bell-shaped soliton solution of (1) may be derived using:

ψ(x,t,y)=ρsechpσ,    (41)

where σ = η(x + yvt). Putting (41) into (1) yields:

pvη2ρsech(σ)ppη4ρsech(σ)p+2p(1+p)η4ρsech(σ)pp(1+p)vη2ρsech(σ)2+psinh(σ)2+p(1+p)η4ρsech(σ)2+psinh(σ)22p(1+p)2η4ρsech(σ)2+psinh(σ)2+p2η2ρ2sech(σ)2+2psinh(σ)2+3(pη2ρsech(σ)p+p(1+p)η2ρsech(σ)2+psinh(σ)2)+g(t)(pη2ρsech(σ)p+p(1+p)η2ρsech(σ)2+psinh(σ)2)+ρsech(σ)p(pη2ρsech(σ)p+p(1+p)η2ρsech(σ)2+psinh(σ)2)pη2ρcosh(σ)((1+p)η2sech(σ)1+p+(1+p)(2+p)η2sech(σ)3+psinh(σ)2)pηρsinh(σ)((1+p)η3sech(σ)2+psinh(σ)+2(1+p)(2+p)η3sech(σ)2+psinh(σ)(1+p)ηsinh(σ)(-(2+p)η2sch(σ)2+p+(2+p)(3+p)η2sech(σ)4+psinh(σ)2)=0.    (42)

Equating the exponents 4 + p = 2 + 2p, we obtain p = 1. Plugging the obtained value of p into (42) yields:

2η2ρ(-3+v+8η2-ρ-g(t))sech(σ)2+6η2ρ(3-v-20η2+2ρ+g(t))sech(σ)2tanh(σ)2+10η2(12η2-ρ)ρsech(σ)2tanh(σ)4=0.    (43)

Equating the coefficients of linearly independent terms in (43) to zero, we get:

2η2ρ(-3+v+8η2-ρ-g(t))=0,6η2ρ(3-v-20η2+2ρ+g(t))=0,10η2(12η2-ρ)ρ=0.    (44)

Solving (44) yields:

η=12ρ3,g(t)=13(-9+3v-ρ).    (45)

The bell-shaped soliton is represented by:

ψ(x,t,y)=ρsech2[12ρ3(x+y-vt)].    (46)

Specifically, for the soliton (46) to exist, the condition ρ > 0 must hold.

6. Physical Interpretation of Results

It is worth to mention that at for every t, the solution ψ = 12(lnf)xx will approach 0 whenever (x, y) approach infinity in both solutions. The 3D and the density plot for the lump soliton (39) for t = 0 is shown in Figure 1. The 3D and the density plot for the lump soliton (40) for t = 0 is shown in Figure 2. The lump solitons (39) and (40) admits a pattern with one high peak and a deep hole hidden beneath the plane wave. Finally, the 3D and the density plot for the bell-shaped soliton (46) for t = 0 is shown in Figure 3.

7. Concluding Remarks

In this paper, with the aid of the Bell-polynomials approach, we have successfully derived the bilinear forms of an integrable time-dependent coefficient (2+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili. We also studied the positive quadratic function solution to the model. Several constraint conditions that are necessary for the existence of the polynomial solutions were reported. Upon expanding the polynomials as sums of squares of linear functions, we acquire a lump-type solution possessing some arbitrary constraints. With the choice of different solution parameters, we have reported two forms of lump soliton solutions. We also utilized a suitable ansatz approach to derive a one soliton bell-shaped solution. To our knowledge, the results reported in this paper are new and introduced for the first time in the literature. Figures were given to describe the dynamics of the obtained results.
