A study of Bogoyavlenskii’s (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation: Lie symmetry, dynamical behaviors and closed-form solutions

Abstract

This paper employs the Lie symmetry analysis to investigate novel closed-form solutions to a (2+1)-dimensional Bogoyavlenskii’s breaking soliton equation. This Lie symmetry technique, used in combination with Maple’s symbolic computation system, demonstrates that the Lie infinitesimals are dependent on five arbitrary parameters and two independent arbitrary functions f1(t) and f2(t). The invariance criteria of Lie group analysis are used to construct all infinitesimal vectors, commutative relations of their examined vectors, a one-dimensional optimal system and then several symmetry reductions. Subsequently, Bogoyavlenskii’s breaking soliton (BBS) equation is reduced into several nonlinear ODEs by employing desirable Lie symmetry reductions through optimal system. Explicit exact solutions in terms of arbitrary independent functions and other constants are obtained as a result of solving the nonlinear ODEs. These established results are entirely new and dissimilar from the previous findings in the literature. The physical behaviors of the gained solutions illustrate the dynamical wave structures of multiple solitons, curved-shaped wave–wave interaction profiles, oscillating periodic solitary waves, doubly-solitons, kink-type waves, W-shaped solitons, and novel solitary waves solutions through 3D plots by selecting the suitable values for arbitrary functional parameters and free parameters based on numerical simulation. Eventually, the derived results verify the efficiency, trustworthiness, and credibility of the considered method.
