Rational and Semirational Solutions of the Nonlocal Davey–Stewartson Equations

AbstractIn this paper, the partially party‐time () symmetric nonlocal Davey–Stewartson (DS) equations with respect to x is called x‐nonlocal DS equations, while a fully symmetric nonlocal DSII equation is called nonlocal DSII equation. Three kinds of solutions, namely, breather, rational, and semirational solutions for these nonlocal DS equations are derived by employing the bilinear method. For the x‐nonlocal DS equations, the usual (2 + 1)‐dimensional breathers are periodic in x direction and localized in y direction. Nonsingular rational solutions are lumps, and semirational solutions are composed of lumps, breathers, and periodic line waves. For the nonlocal DSII equation, line breathers are periodic in both x and y directions with parallels in profile, but localized in time. Nonsingular rational solutions are (2 + 1)‐dimensional line rogue waves, which arise from a constant background and disappear into the same constant background, and this process only lasts for a short period of time. Semirational solutions describe interactions of line rogue waves and periodic line waves.

Integrable multidimensional versions of the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Two new integrable nonlocal Davey–Stewartson equations are introduced. These equations provide two-spatial dimensional analogues of the integrable, nonlocal nonlinear Schrö-dinger equation introduced in Ablowitz and Musslimani (2013 Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 064105). Furthermore, like the latter equation, they also possess a PT symmetry and, as it is well known, this symmetry is important for the occurence of such equations in nonlinear optics. A method for solving the initial value problem of these integrable equations is discussed. It is shown that the technique used for constructing these novel integrable equations has general validity; as an illustrative example, an additional two-dimensional integrable generalization of the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger is also presented.
