Exact wave solutions for a (3+1)-dimensional generalized B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

Abstract

In this work, we investigate a (3+1)-dimensional generalized B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation. Based on the simplified Hirota bilinear method, we first construct its soliton solutions. Meanwhile, we correct the formula of N-soliton solution for this equation. On the basis of these solitons we further calculate its lump solutions, periodic waves. Meanwhile, rogue waves as well as interaction solutions of this equation are also obtained by a direct algebraic method. Some figures are given to display the behavior of these solutions.
