Exact Jacobi elliptic solutions of some models for the interaction of long and short waves

Abstract

Some systems were recently put forth by Nguyen et al. as models for studying the interaction of long and short waves in dispersive media. These systems were shown to possess synchronized Jacobi elliptic solutions as well as synchronized solitary wave solutions under certain constraints, i.e., vector solutions, where the two components are proportional to one another. In this paper, the exact periodic traveling wave solutions to these systems in general were found to be given by Jacobi elliptic functions. Moreover, these cnoidal wave solutions are unique. Thus, the explicit synchronized solutions under some conditions obtained by Nguyen et al. are also indeed unique.
