Conditions for the existence of soliton solutions: An analysis of coefficients in the generalized Wu–Zhang system and generalized Sawada–Kotera model

Abstract

Exploring nonlinear equations and systems with predetermined coefficient values constrains the depth of understanding of the dynamics inherent in various applications and phenomena represented by such equations. On the contrary, exploration of nonlinear models with free coefficients offers avenues for improved development and ongoing refinement. In light of this, this study aimed to reassess the Wu–Zhang (WZ) system and Sawada–Kotera (SK) model by introducing arbitrary coefficients. Our goal is to identify the constraints necessary to ensure the existence of soliton solutions. Through the application of two distinct approaches, namely, the sine–cosine function method and tanh–coth expansion method, we systematically examine the conditions that facilitate the emergence of solitons within the WZ system and SK model. The insights gained from this analysis are supported by the presentation of 2D and 3D plots, providing a visual depiction of the propagation characteristics exhibited by the obtained solutions. The findings of the current work on conditions for the existence of soliton solutions for both generalized Wu–Zhang and generalized Sawada–Kotera models are novel and presented here for the first time.
