It is a very important but difficult task to seek explicit variational formulations for nonlinear and complex models because variational principles are theoretical bases for many methods to solve or analyze the nonlinear problem. By designing skillfully the trial-Lagrange functional, different groups of variational principles are successfully constructed for two kinds of coupled nonlinear equations in shallow water, i.e., the Broer-Kaup equations and the (2+1)-dimensional dispersive long-wave equations, respectively. Both of them contain many kinds of soliton solutions, which are always symmetric or anti-symmetric in space. Subsequently, the obtained variational principles are proved to be correct by minimizing the functionals with the calculus of variations. The established variational principles are firstly discovered, which can help to study the symmetries and find conserved quantities for the equations considered, and might find lots of applications in numerical simulation.

Purpose This study aims to develop two integrable shallow water wave equations, of higher-dimensions, and with constant and time-dependent coefficients, respectively. The author derives multiple soliton solutions and a class of lump solutions which are rationally localized in all directions in space. Design/methodology/approach The author uses the simplified Hirota’s method and lump technique for determining multiple soliton solutions and lump solutions as well. The author shows that the developed (2+1)- and (3+1)-dimensional models are completely integrable in in the Painlené sense. Findings The paper reports new Painlevé-integrable extended equations which belong to the shallow water wave medium. Research limitations/implications The author addresses the integrability features of this model via using the Painlevé analysis. The author reports multiple soliton solutions for this equation by using the simplified Hirota’s method. Practical implications The obtained lump solutions include free parameters; some parameters are related to the translation invariance and the other parameters satisfy a non-zero determinant condition. Social implications The work presents useful algorithms for constructing new integrable equations and for the determination of lump solutions. Originality/value The paper presents an original work with newly developed integrable equations and shows useful findings of solitary waves and lump solutions.

This paper extends the (2+1)-dimensional Eckhaus-type dispersive long wave equations in continuous medium to their fractional partner, which is a model of nonlinear waves in fractal porous media. The derivation is shown briefly using He?s fractional derivative. Using the semi-inverse method, the variational principles are established for the fractional system, which up to now are not discovered. The obtained fractal variational principles are proved correct by minimizing the functionals with the calculus of variations, and might find potential applications in numerical modelling.

In this paper, the soliton solutions and the corresponding conservation laws of a few nonlinear wave equations will be obtained. The Hunter-Saxton equation, the improved Korteweg-de Vries equation, and other such equations will be considered. The Lie symmetry approach will be utilized to extract the conserved densities of these equations. The soliton solutions will be used to obtain the conserved quantities of these equations.

In this paper, new and more general Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations which can describe the propagation of shallow-water waves are exactly solved in the framework of Hirota?s bilinear method and new multi-soliton solutions are obtained. To be specific, the Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations are first reduced into Ablowitz- Kaup-Newell-Segur equations. With the help of this equations, bilinear forms of the Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations are then derived. Based on the derived bilinear forms, new one-soliton solutions, two-soliton solutions, three-soliton solutions, and the uniform formulae of n-soliton solutions are finally obtained. It is shown that adopting the bilinear forms without loss of generality play a key role in obtaining these new multi-soliton solutions.

This paper extends the [Formula: see text]-dimensional Broer–Kaup equations in continuum mechanics to its fractional partner, which can model a lot of nonlinear waves in fractal porous media. Its derivation is demonstrated in detail by applying He’s fractional derivative. Using the semi-inverse method, two variational principles are established for the nonlinear coupled equations, which up to now are not discovered. The variational formulations can help to study the symmetries and find conserved quantities in the fractal space. The obtained variational principles are proved correct by minimizing the functionals with the calculus of variations, and might find potential applications in numerical simulation. The procedure reveals that the semi-inverse method is highly efficient and powerful, and can be generalized to other nonlinear evolution equations with fractal derivatives.

AbstractThe linear long-wave equations with (and without) small ground motion are considered. The governing equations are represented in a matrix from and transformations are sought which reduce the system to (for example) a form associated with the conventional wave equation. Integration of the system is then immediate. It is shown that such a reduction may be acheived provided the variation in water depth is specified by certain multi-parameter forms.
