Soliton, quasi-soliton, and their interaction solutions of a nonlinear (2 + 1)-dimensional ZK–mZK–BBM equation for gravity waves

Abstract

The ZK–mZK–BBM equation plays a crucial role in actually depicting the gravity water waves with the long wave region. In this article, the bilinear forms of the (2 + 1)-dimensional ZK–mZK–BBM equation were derived using variable transformation. Then, the multiple soliton solutions of the ZK–mZK–BBM equation are obtained by bilinear forms and symbolic computation. Under complex conjugate transformations, quasi-soliton solutions and mixed solutions composed of one-soliton and one-quasi-soliton are derived from soliton solutions. These solutions are further studied graphically to observe the propagation characteristics of gravity water waves. The results enrich the research of gravity water wave in fluid mechanics.
