Abstract

Nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) have been of great interest in recent years due to their numerous applications. While there are several methods for finding exact solutions to various NLPDEs, more solutions are still required. This paper first proposes the Cham method, a new method for solving NLPDEs that can generate eight families of solutions. The method is then successfully employed to solve the (2+1)-dimensional Bogoyavlenskii's breaking soliton equations. The dynamic behaviour of these equations and the bifurcation of traveling waves are also discussed. Finally, we graphically depict some solutions corresponding to some discovered solutions with different coefficient values. The Cham method is general, effective, and adaptable to many NLPDEs.

1. Introduction

Most differential equations in geometry are nonlinear models, hence nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) are useful for describing complex phenomena in many fields, including electrodynamics, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, fluid flows, aeronautics, and hydrodynamic applications such as shipbuilding, submarine design, climatology, and meteorology.

NLPDEs have received significant research attention over the last four decades in order to propose effective methods for finding exact solutions. Among these methods are the (G(ξ)G(ξ)) expansion method [Citation1], the exp(Φ(ξ))-expansion method [Citation2,Citation3], the double auxiliary equations method [Citation4], the cotha(ξ) expansion method [Citation5], the F-expansion method [Citation6], the Tan-Cot function method [Citation7], the Sine-Cosine function approach [Citation8–10], and various other methods [Citation11–13]. In some studies, bifurcations and phase portraits are investigated to gain a clear understanding of the behaviour and nature of solutions [Citation14,Citation15].

Despite the fact that there are several approaches to solving NLPDEs, their importance warrants further consideration. As a result, this paper aims to propose the Cham method, a new method that can be used to solve various NLPDEs. In addition to its generality, the method is simple and can find several exact solutions.

Section 2 describes our new Cham method. Section 3 investigates the dynamic behaviour and the bifurcation of traveling waves of a selected NLPDE. The Cham method is applied in Section 4 to obtain exact solutions to the chosen NLPDE. Section 5 illustrates some solutions that correspond to some discovered solutions with varying coefficient values. Finally, Section 6 concludes the paper.

2. The proposed Cham method

The new Cham method for solving NLPDEs is described in this section by considering the following NPDE: (1) F(z,zt,zx,zxt,zxx,ztt,)=0,(1) in which z=z(x,t) is an unknown function.

Phase 1. Convert Eq.(Equation1) to an ordinary differential equation by using z(x,t)=Z(ξ) with ξ=xvt, as follows: (2) P(Z,Zξ,Zξξ,Zξξξ,)=0.(2) Phase 2. Assume the solution to Equation (Equation1) is expressed as a polynomial in (tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ)), as shown below: (3) U(ξ)=i=0Nai(tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))i,(3) where ai are constants for all (i=0,1,,N) and aN0. All nonlinear terms in Equation (Equation2) are used to balance the highest order derivative term to find the value of NN+. The expression (tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ)) satisfies the ordinary differential equation given in Equation (Equation4): (4) (tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))=A(tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))2+B(tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))+C.(4) Therefore, the following are the solutions to Equation (Equation4):

Family 1: AC0 and 4ACB2>0, (5) (tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))=Btanh(ξ)+tan(tanh(ξ)2(4ACB2)(ξ0ξ)2tanh(ξ))tanh(ξ)2(4ACB2)2Atanh(ξ),ξ0R.(5) Family 2: AC0 and 4ACB2<0, (6) (tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))=Btanh(ξ)tanh(tanh(ξ)2(B24AC)(ξ0ξ)2tanh(ξ))tanh(ξ)2(B24AC)2Atanh(ξ),ξ0R.(6) Family 3: AC>0 and 4ACB2=0, (7) (tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))=2ACξ21tanh(ln(ξ)ln(ACξAC)+ξ02)2(ACξ1),ξ0R.(7) Family 4: Both A and B are equal to zero, (8) (tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))=C(ln(tanh(ξ)+1)ln(tanh(ξ)1))2ξ0,ξ0R.(8) Family 5: Only C is equal to zero, (9) {(tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))=B(exp(2ξ)1)exp()tanh(ξ)(Aexp(Bξ)ξ0)(exp(2ξ)+1),ξ{1Bln(ξ0A),0},|B(exp(2ξ)1)exp()(Aexp()ξ0)(exp(2ξ)+1)|<1.(9) Family 6: Both B and C are equal to zero, (10) (tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))=1ξ0,ξ0R.(10) Family 7: Only A is equal to zero, (11) (tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))=C+Bξ0exp()B,ξ0R.(11) In the subsequent sections, we will apply the new Cham method to solve the (2 + 1)-dimensional Bogoyavlenskii's breaking soliton equation (abbreviated Bogoyavlenskii's equation for short), which is defined as follows: (12) {ut+αuxxy+4(uv)x=0,uy=vx.(12)

3. Bifurcation and phase portraits of Bogoyavlenskii's equations

Based on the bifurcation theory [Citation16], we assume the following: (13) u(x,y,t)=v(x,y,t)=U(ξ);ξ=x+yλt,λ0(13) where λ denotes the traveling wave's velocity. Using the traveling wave transformation (Equation14), we can transform the Equation (Equation13) to the following: (14) λUξ+αUξξξ+4(U2)ξ=0.(14) We first integrate Equation (Equation15) with respect to ξ and then set the integrating constant to zero to obtain the following result: (15) λU+αUξξ+4U2=0.(15) As a result, Equation (Equation16) corresponds to the following Hamiltonian system: (16) dUdξ=V,dVdξ=1α(λU4U2).(16) with the following Hamiltonian function: (17) H(U,V)=3αV2+8U33λU2=h,(17) where h is the integral constant.

The bifurcations of the dynamical system (Equation17) result in the following. When λ=0, E0(0,0) is an equilibrium point. When λ0, E0(0,0) and E1(14λ,0) are the equilibrium points on the U axis.

As a result, we can obtain the matrix M(ue,ve) of the linearized system of Equation (Equation17) at an equilibrium point Ej(j=1,2), as follows: (18) M(ue,ve)=(011α(λ8ue)0),J=1α(8ueλ);α0(18) where J=det(M(ue,ve)).

Case I. If (λ>0 and α>0) or (λ<0 and α<0), we have a saddle point E0(0,0) since J(E0)=λα<0, a center point E1(14λ,0) because J(E1)=λα>0 and Trace(M(E1))=0, and two equilibrium points E0(0,0) and E1(14λ,0). As a result, Equation (Equation16) has a solitary wave solution and two families of periodic wave solutions. Figure  depicts this case using Maple 2022.

Figure 1. Case I when: (a) λ=4 and α=2, and (b) λ=4 and α=2.

Figure 1. Case I when: (a) λ=4 and α=2, and (b) λ=−4 and α=−2.

Case II. If (λ>0 and α<0) or (λ<0 and α>0), E0(0,0) and E1(14λ,0) are two equilibrium points. Further, E0(0,0) is a center point since Trace(M(E0))=0 and J(E0)=λα>0. At E1(14λ,0) we have J(E1)=λα<0, indicating that E1(14λ,0) is a saddle point. Thus, a single solitary wave solution to Equation (Equation16) is found, as well as two families of periodic wave solutions, which are depicted in Figure  using Maple 2022.

4. Solving the Bogoyavlenskii's equations

We apply our new Cham approach to solve Equation (Equation13). Assuming the following: (19) u(x,y,t)=v(x,y,t)=U(ξ);ξ=x+yλt,λ0,(19) results in the following equation: (20) λU(ξ)+αU′′(ξ)+4U2(ξ)=0.(20) Balancing both U2(ξ) and U′′(ξ), we obtain m = 2. As a result, we can assume that the solutions to Equation (Equation21) are the following: (21) U(ξ)=a0+a1(tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))+a2(tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))2,(21) where ai(i=0,1,2) are constants with a20. To find the algebraic system, we first substitute Equation (Equation22) into Equation (Equation21) to represent the left side as polynomials in (tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))j(j=0,1,2,), and then set their coefficients to zero: (BCa1+2C2a2)α+4a02a0λ=0,(6BCa2+a1(2AC+B2))α+8a1(a0λ8)=0,((8AC+4B2)a2+3ABa1)α+(8a0λ)a2+4a12=0,(2A2a1+10ABa2)α+8a1a2=0,6A2a2α+4a22=0.The solution to this algebraic system for a0, a1, a2, and λ yields two sets: Set 1: (22) a0=(3ACα)2,a1=(3ABα)2,a2=(3A2α)2,λ=α(4ACB2)(22) We substitute Equation (Equation23) into Equation (Equation22) to get: (23) {U(ξ)=(3ACα)2(3ABα)2(tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))(3A2α)2(tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))2,ξ=x+y+α(4ACB2)t.(23) Set 2: (24) a0=α(2AC+B2)4,a1=3ABα2,a2=3A2α2,λ=α(4ACB2)(24) Equation (Equation25) is substituted into Equation (Equation22) to get: (25) {U(ξ)=α(2AC+B2)43ABα2(tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))3A2α2(tanh(Z(ξ))tanh(ξ))2,ξ=x+yα(4ACB2)t.(25) As a result, using Equations (Equation24), (Equation26), and solutions to Equation (Equation4), the exact solutions to Equation (Equation13) are obtained as follows:

Case 1: When 4ACB2>0 and AC0. (26) {u1.1(ξ)=(3ACα)2+(3ABα)2(Btanh(ξ)+tan(tanh(ξ)2(4ACB2)(ξ0ξ)2tanh(ξ))tanh(ξ)2(4ACB2)2Atanh(ξ))(3A2α)2(Btanh(ξ)+tan(tanh(ξ)2(4ACB2)(ξ0ξ)2tanh(ξ))tanh(ξ)2(4ACB2)2Atanh(ξ))2,v1.1(ξ)=u1.1(ξ),ξ=x+y+α(4ACB2)t,ξ0R.(26) (27) {u2.1(ξ)=α(2AC+B2)4+3ABα2(Btanh(ξ)+tan(tanh(ξ)2(4ACB2)(ξ0ξ)2tanh(ξ))tanh(ξ)2(4ACB2)2Atanh(ξ))3A2α2(Btanh(ξ)+tan(tanh(ξ)2(4ACB2)(ξ0ξ)2tanh(ξ))tanh(ξ)2(4ACB2)2Atanh(ξ))2,v2.1(ξ)=u2.1(ξ),ξ=x+yα(4ACB2)t,ξ0R.(27) Case 2: When 4ACB2<0 and AC0. (28) {u1.2(ξ)=(3ACα)2+(3ABα)2(Btanh(ξ)tanh(tanh(ξ)2(B24AC)(ξ0ξ)2tanh(ξ))tanh(ξ)2(B24AC)2Atanh(ξ))(3A2α)2(Btanh(ξ)tanh(tanh(ξ)2(B24AC)(ξ0ξ)2tanh(ξ))tanh(ξ)2(B24AC)2Atanh(ξ))2,v1.2(ξ)=u1.2(ξ),ξ=x+y+α(4ACB2)t,ξ0R.(28) (29) {u2.2(ξ)=α(2AC+B2)4+3ABα2(Btanh(ξ)tanh(tanh(ξ)2(B24AC)(ξ0ξ)2tanh(ξ))tanh(ξ)2(B24AC)2Atanh(ξ))3A2α2(Btanh(ξ)tanh(tanh(ξ)2(B24AC)(ξ0ξ)2tanh(ξ))tanh(ξ)2(B24AC)2Atanh(ξ))2,v2.2(ξ)=u2.2(ξ),ξ=x+yα(4ACB2)t,ξ0R.(29)

Case 3: Only C is equal to zero, (30) {u1.3(ξ)=(3ABα)2(B(exp(2ξ)1)exp()tanh(ξ)(Aexp()ξ0)(exp(2ξ)+1))(3A2α)2(B(exp(2ξ)1)exp()tanh(ξ)(Aexp(Bξ)ξ0)(exp(2ξ)+1))2,v1.3(ξ)=u1.3(ξ),ξ=x+yαB2t,ξ0R.ξ{1Bln(ξ0A),0},|B(exp(2ξ)1)exp()(Aexp()ξ0)(exp(2ξ)+1)|<1.(30) (31) {u2.3(ξ)=α(2AC+B2)4+3ABα2(B(exp(2ξ)1)exp()tanh(ξ)(Aexp()ξ0)(exp(2ξ)+1))3A2α2(B(exp(2ξ)1)exp()tanh(ξ)(Aexp()ξ0)(exp(2ξ)+1))2,v2.3(ξ)=u2.3(ξ),ξ=x+y+αB2t,ξ0R.ξ{1Bln(ξ0A),0},|B(exp(2ξ)1)exp()(Aexp()ξ0)(exp(2ξ)+1)|<1.(31)

6. Conclusion

We presented the Cham method as a new and efficient method for obtaining eight solution families to NLPDEs. This method has been used successfully for solving Bogoyavlenskii's equations. We also discussed the dynamic behaviour of these equations and the bifurcation of traveling waves, and illustrated some solutions graphically. We hope that the generality of the proposed method will inspire researchers to use it to solve other complex differential equations.
