Abstract.

Four (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations, generated by the Jaulent-Miodek hierarchy, are investigated by the bifurcation method of planar dynamical systems. The bifurcation regions in different subsets of the parameters space are obtained. According to the different phase portraits in different regions, we obtain kink (antikink) wave solutions, solitary wave solutions, and periodic wave solutions for the third of these models by dynamical system method. Furthermore, the explicit exact expressions of these bounded traveling waves are obtained. All these wave solutions obtained are characterized by distinct physical structures.

1. Introduction

In [1–4], four (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear models generated by the Jaulent-Miodek hierarchy were developed. These nonlinear models are completely integrable evolution equations. There are many approaches to investigate nonlinear evolution equation, for example, the inverse scattering method, the Bäcklund transformation method, the Darboux transformation method, the Hirota bilinear method [1–3, 5–8], and the dynamical systems method [9–11]. The Hirota bilinear method [3] is used to formally derive the multiple kink solutions and multiple singular kink solutions of these models. By applying the direct symmetry method [4], group invariant solutions and some new exact solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Jaulent-Miodek equation are obtained. Dynamical systems method is a very effective method to research qualitative behavior for traveling wave solutions of these completely integrable evolution equations. In [11], only considering bifurcation parametric , some exact traveling wave solutions are given by applying the method of dynamical systems for these models. In this paper, all wave solutions are given by the method of dynamical systems under more general parametric conditions. Some computer symbolic systems such as Maple and Mathmatic allow us to perform complicated and tedious calculations.

Four (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear models generated by the Jaulent-Miodek hierarchy [3] are given by

We will study the third model given by

By introducing the potential

to remove the integral term in the system (3), we obtain the following equation

We are interested in the wave solutions of the system (3) in this paper. Motivated by [9], we obtain dynamical properties of (11) and different wave solutions of the system (3) in detail. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we establish the traveling wave equation (3) for the third model of (1). Furthermore, we obtain the first integral of dynamical governing equation of the system (11). Then, we analyze the bifurcation behaviors of the system (11). Phase portraits in the different subsets of parameter space will be presented in Section 3. In Section 4, using the information of the phase portraits in Section 3, we analyze all the possible traveling wave solutions of the system (11). Some explicit parametric representations of traveling wave solutions of (3) and the system (11) are also obtained. The final section includes brief summary, future plans, and potential fields of applications.

We assume that the traveling wave transform of the system (3) is in the form

According to physical meaning of traveling wave solutions of the system (3), we always assume that , , and . Now, substituting (6) into (5), we have the traveling wave equation

Integrating (7) with respect to once, we have

3. The Bifurcation Analysis of the System (11)

In this section, our aim is to study the traveling wave solutions of the system (11) by applying bifurcation method and qualitative theory of dynamical systems [9, 10]. Through some special phase orbits, we obtain smooth periodic wave solutions, solitary wave solutions, kink and antikink wave solutions, and so on. Fixing , we discuss the phase portrait of the system (11) along with the changes of parameters and so as to study traveling wave solutions of the system (11). Further more, through the traveling wave solutions of the system (11) and the potential relation (4), traveling wave solutions of the system (3) will be obtained.

3.1. Phase Portraits and Qualitative Analysis of the System (11)

In order to investigate the phase portrait of the system (11), we set

Let . Obviously, has at least one zero point . The number of the singular points of the system (11) may be decided by the sign of . Obviously, the system (11) has only one trivial singular point . Thus the other singular points of the system (11) are given as follows. (1) When , the system (11) has only one trivial singular point ; (2) when , the system (11) has two singular points , where ; (3) when , the system has a second-order singular point , where .

We notice that the Jacobian of linearized system of the system (11) at the singular points is given by

Thus, the characteristic values of linearized system of the system (11) at are . From the qualitative theory of dynamical system, we know that

(i)if , is a saddle point;(ii)if , is a center point;(iii)if , is a degenerate saddle point.

Let

It is well known that the planar Hamiltonian system is determined by its potential energy level curve and its singular point in the form of . So, we are interested in looking for the possible zeros of (15) and determining whether there are heteroclinic orbits, homoclinic orbits, periodic orbits at different singular points.

In order to find the heteroclinic orbits and the homoclinic orbits of the system (11), let

From (19), we can get the following expressions of its roots:

4. Smooth Solitary Wave Solutions, Periodic Wave Solutions, and Kink Wave Solutions for the System (11) and the System (3)

In this section, we will seek all traveling wave solutions which correspond to the special bounded phase orbits of the system (11) in Section 3. The explicit expressions of the system (3) are also obtained by all traveling wave solutions of the system (11) and the relation (4).

4.1. Smooth Solitary Wave Solutions, Periodic Wave Solutions, and Kink and Antikink Wave Solutions of the System (11)

From the qualitative theory of dynamical system, we know that a smooth solitary wave solution of a partial differential system corresponds to a smooth homoclinic orbit of a traveling wave equation. A periodic orbit of traveling wave equation corresponds to a periodic traveling wave solution of a partial differential system. Similarly, a smooth heteroclinic orbit of traveling wave equation corresponds to a smooth kink (antikink) wave solution of a partial differential system.

According to the above analysis, in this section, we consider the existence and the explicit exact expressions of smooth periodic wave solutions, smooth solitary wave solutions, and smooth kink (antikink) wave solutions for the system (11) and the system (3) under the parameter conditions and .

Finally, we mention the conditions of existence for kink wave solutions of the system (11).

4.2. Exact Traveling Wave Solutions of the System (11) and the System (3)

Firstly, we will obtain some explicit expressions of traveling wave solutions for the system (11) when conditions and hold. Furthermore, using potential (4) for the system (3), its exact traveling wave solutions are given as follows.

We only choose one of the periodic orbits to calculate periodic wave solutions.

(1) Periodic wave solutions for the system (11) and the system (3).

There are periodic orbits such as , , , , , , , and (see Figures 2(a), 2(c), 2(d), 2(i), 2(j), 2(l), 3(a), and 3(b)), which correspond to periodic wave solutions for the system (11). We only choose one of the periodic orbits (see Figure 2(a)) to calculate periodic wave solutions. This method can be used for other periodic orbits.

When (see Figure 2(a)), we notice that there are periodic orbit and two special orbits , passing the points , , , and . In the -plane the expressions of the orbits are given as

Substituting (26) into and integrating them along , , and , it follows that

Completing the above integral, we obtain one of the periodic traveling wave solutions (see Figure 4(a)) of (26):

Noting (6), the periodic traveling wave solution for the system (3) is obtained (see Figure 4(b)).

Remark 5. In [11], some periodic wave solutions of the system (11) are obtained, but the periodic wave solutions of the system (3) are not given. The periodic wave solutions of the system (3) cannot be derived by the method [3]. In this paper, we obtain all periodic wave solutions of the system (11) and the system (3).

(2) Solitary wave solutions for the system (11) and the system (3).

Substitute (42) into the potential as defined in (4) to obtain

where is a solitary wave solution of the system (3). Applying (6), the solitary wave solution is obtained for the system (3) (see Figure 6(b)).

Remark 6. In [11], only one solitary wave solution of peak type wave solutions of the system (3) is obtained. However, the solitary wave solutions of system (3) cannot be found by Hirota's bilinear method [3]. Fortunately, we obtain all solitary wave solutions of the system (11) and the system (3).

Noting (6), we can obtain the smooth kink wave solution of the system (3) (see Figure 8(b)). Analogously, completing the above integral (55b), we obtain the exact antikink wave solution:

for the system (11) and the system (3), respectively (see Figures 8(c) and 8(d)).

Remark 7. In [3], applying the necessary condition for the kink waves to exist, multiple kink solutions and multiple singular kink solutions of the system (3) are formally derived. By the special traveling wave transform in [11], no kink (antikink) solutions of the system (11) and system (3) are obtained. In this paper, not considering the necessary condition for the kink waves to exist [3], we obtain all kink and antikink wave solutions of the system (11) and the system (3) by the bifurcation method of dynamical systems.
From (1) to (12), we can obtain three theorems about the exact periodic wave solutions and smooth solitary wave solutions and kink (antikink) wave solutions for the system (11) and the system (3).

Theorem 8. When conditions or hold, one can obtain some representative smooth exact periodic wave solutions of the system (11) from the periodic obits (see Figures 2(a), 2(c), 2(i), 2(j), and 2(l)) and Figures 3(a) and 3(b)), which correspond to the representative smooth exact periodic wave solutions of the system (3), such as the periodic wave solution of the system (11) corresponding to the periodic wave solution of the system (3).

Theorem 9. Under conditions , the following results hold.

(1)When , the system (11) has an exact solitary wave solution , which corresponds to the solitary wave solutions of the system (3).(2)When , the system (11) has exact solitary wave solutions , which correspond to the solitary wave solutions of the system (3).

Theorem 10. Under conditions , the following results hold.

(1)When , the system (11) has an exact smooth kink wave solution , which corresponds to the kink wave solution of the system (3), respectively.(2)When , the system (11) has an exact smooth kink wave solution , which corresponds to the kink wave solution of the system (3).

5. Discussion

In this work we obtain all wave solutions of the complete integrability of the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation, the third model, by dynamical systems method. This method can be used for the remaining three models. By determining the necessary condition for the complete integrability of these models in [3], multiple kink solutions and multiple singular kink solutions were formally derived for the third model. Compared to the method in [3], the necessary condition which is among the coefficients of the spatial variables is not necessary in our method. In [11], only solitary wave solutions are obtained by a special traveling wave transform. To our knowledge, we completely obtain all solitary wave solutions and kink (antikink) wave solutions for these models by the bifurcation method of dynamical system. The idea of applying the method of dynamical system to research the complete integrability can be used for other models. This will be examined in forthcoming works. For the remaining three models, we can follow the same approach to derive all wave solutions for them.
