Painlevé analysis and exact solutions of the resonant Davey–Stewartson system

Abstract

It is shown that the resonant Davey–Stewartson (RDS) system can pass the Painlev test. By truncating the Laurent series to a constant level term, a dependent variable transformation is naturally derived, which leads to the bilinear forms of the RDS system. From the bilinear equations, through making suitable assumptions, some new soliton solutions are obtained. Some representative profiles of the solitary waves are graphically displayed including the two-line soliton solution, “Y” soliton solution, “V” soliton solution, solitoff, etc. The solutions might be useful to describe the nonlinear phenomena in Madelung fluids, capillarity fluids, and so on.
