Painlevé integrability and multiple soliton solutions for the extensions of the (modified) Korteweg-de Vries-type equations with second-order time-derivative
Abstract
This work introduces two (3+1)-dimensional expansions of the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and modified KdV (mKdV) equations. These extensions incorporate a second-order time-derivative term, similar to the Boussinesq equation. The Painlevé test is utilized to verify the integrability of each extended model. The bilinear form is employed to investigate the existence of multiple-soliton (MS) solutions for each system under consideration. Furthermore, we provide solutions in the form of lumps for the extended KdV equation. The multidimensional KdV-type equations surpass the standard KdV equation. However, they offer enhanced accuracy by representing a broader spectrum of nonlinear phenomena in plasma physics, fluid mechanics, tsunami phenomena, and other science disciplines. Furthermore, the aforementioned equations can be employed to analyze the characteristics of various acoustic waves (AW) in different plasma models, such as their amplitude, width, frequency, and dispersion, as well as the phase shifts after collisions.
