Jian-Guo Liu, Wen-Hui Zhu, Li Zhou. Interaction Solutions for Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Equation with Variable Coefficients *. [J], 2019, 71(7): 793-797 doi:10.1088/0253-6102/71/7/793
1 Introduction
Nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs) are mathematical models to describe nonlinear phenomena in many fields of modern science and engineering, such as physical chemistry and biology, atmospheric space science, etc.[1-6] In recent years, the solutions of NPDEs have become a hot topic, and various methods have been proposed.[6-12]In these NPDEs, Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation can be used to model waves in ferromagnetic media, water waves of long wavelength with weakly non-linear restoring forces and frequency dispersion.[13] However, when modeling various nonlinear phenomena under different physical backgrounds, variable coefficient NPDEs can describe the actual situation more accurately than constant coefficient NPDEs. As an illustration, a KP equation with variable coefficients is considered as follows[14]
where $u=u(x,y,t)$ is the amplitude of the long wave of two-dimensional fluid domain on varying topography or in turbulent flow over a sloping bottom. The B?cklund transformation, soliton solutions, Wronskian and Gramian solutions of Eq. (1) have been obtained.[14-16] Lump and interactions solutions have been discussed in Ref. [17]. However, interactions among the lump soliton, one stripe soliton, and a pair of stripe solitons have not been investigated, which will become our main task.
The organization of this paper is as follows. Section 2 obtains the lump solutions based on Hirota's bilinear form and symbolic computation.[18-34] Their dynamical behaviors are described in some plots. Section 3 derives the interaction solutions between lump solution and a pair of resonance stripe solitons. Their dynamical behaviors are also shown in some three-dimensional plots and corresponding contour plots. Section 4 makes a summary.
2 Lump Solutions
Substituting$$\alpha(t)={6 \beta (t)}/{\Theta _0}\,, \ \ u=2\Theta _0[\ln\xi(x,y,t)]_{xx}$$
into Eq. (1), the bilinear form can be obtained as follows
This is equivalent to:
To research the lump solutions, suppose that
where $\Theta _i\;(i=1,2,4,5)$ are unknown constants. $\Theta _3(t)$ and $\Theta _6(t)$ are unkown functions. Substituting Eq. (4) into Eq. (3), we have
with $\Theta _1^2+\Theta _4^2 \neq 0$, $\Theta _2 \Theta _4-\Theta _1 \Theta _5 \neq 0$. $\tau _i\;(i=1,2)$ are integral constants. Substituting Eq. (5) into Eq. (4) and the transformation $u=2\Theta _0[\ln\xi]_{xx}$, the lump solutions for Eq. (1) can be presented as follows
where $\xi$ satisfies constraint condition (5).
To discuss the dynamical behaviors for solution (6), we suppose that
Substituting Eq. (7) into Eq. (6), three-dimensional plots and corresponding contour plots are presented in Figs. 1--3, Figure 1 shows the spatial structure of the bright lump solution on the $(y,t)$ plane, which includes one peak and two valleys. Figure 2 shows the spatial structure of the bright lump solution on the $(y,x)$ plane. Figure 3 shows the spatial structure of the bright lump solution on the $(t,x)$ plane.

3 Interaction Solutions Between Lump Solution and a Pair of Resonance Stripe Solitons
To find the interaction solutions between the lump solution and a pair of resonance stripe solitons, assume thatwhere $\vartheta _i\;(i=1,2,4,5)$ and $\zeta _i\;(i=1,2)$ are unknown constants. $\Theta _3(t)$, $\Theta _6(t)$, $\zeta _3(t)$, and $\sigma _i(t)\;(i=1,2)$ are unkown functions. Substituting Eq. (4) into Eq. (3), we have
with $\zeta _1^2 (\Theta _1^2+\Theta _4^2) \neq 0$, $\Theta _4 \neq 0$. $\eta _1$ and $\kappa _i\;(i=1,2,3)$ are integral constants. Substituting Eq. (9) into Eq. (8) and the transformation $u=2\Theta _0\,[\ln\xi]_{xx}$, the interaction solutions between lump solution and two stripe solitons can be presented as follows
where $\xi$ satisfies constraint condition (9).
To discuss the dynamical behaviors for solution (10), we suppose that
Substituting Eq. (11) into Eq. (10), three-dimensional plots and corresponding contour plots are presented in Figs. 4--8.

When $\eta_1=0$, Figs. 4 and 5 describe the interaction solution between lump solution and one stripe soliton in the $(t,y)$-plane, the fusion between the lump soliton and one stripe soliton is shown in Fig. 4. When $x=-20$, one lump and one stripe soliton can be found in Fig. 4(a). In Fig. 4(b), the lump soliton meets with one stripe soliton. In Figs. 4(c) and 4(d), we can see the interaction between the lump and one stripe soliton. In Fig. 4(e), lump starts to be swallowed until lump blend into one stripe soliton and go on spreading. Figure 5 shows the corresponding contour plots of Fig. 4.
When $\eta_1=1$, Figs. 6, 7, and 8 demonstrate the interaction solution between lump solution and a pair of resonance stripe soliton in the $(t,y)$-plane, the fusion between the lump soliton and two stripe solitons is shown in Fig. 6. When $x=-20$, two stripe solitons and one lump can be found in Fig. 6(a). In Fig. 6(b), the lump soliton meets with two stripe soliton. In Figs. 6(c) and 6(d), we can see the interaction between the lump and two stripe solitons. In Fig. 6(e), lump starts to be swallowed until lump blend into two stripe solitons and go on spreading. Figure 7 shows the corresponding contour plots of Fig. 6 to help us better understand the interaction for solution (10). Figure 8 lists the interaction between the lump and two stripe solitons when $\gamma(t)=t$ is a function.
