Multi-Soliton Solutions of the Generalized Sawada–Kotera Equation

Abstract

Abstract Korteweg–de Vries (KdV)-type equations can describe the nonlinear phenomena in shallow water waves, stratified internal waves, and ion-acoustic waves in plasmas. In this article, the two-dimensional generalization of the Sawada–Kotera equation, one of the KdV-type equations, is discussed by virtue of the Bell polynomials and Hirota method. The results show that there exist multi-soliton solutions for such an equation. Relations between the direction of the soliton propagation and coordinate axes are shown. Elastic interaction with the multi-soliton solutions are analysed.
