This equation has significant applications in the study of shallow-water waves, ion-acoustic waves, and water propagation in liquids. We explore the integrability of this model through various approaches. First, we derive the Hirota bilinear form using the Bell polynomial theory. By decoupling the two-field condition, we calculate the bilinear Bäcklund transformation. Subsequently, through the Cole–Hopf transformation and the linearization of the Bäcklund transformation, we obtain the Lax pair. Additionally, we derive infinitely many conservation laws using Bell polynomial theory. We compute one-, two-, and three-soliton solutions directly from the Hirota bilinear form and present their 3-D plot, density plot and 2D plot graphically. We establish the Wronskian condition by employing the Plücker relation, ensuring that the N-soliton solutions of the equation can be represented as Wronskian determinants. Additionally, the use of a suitable transformation and the Wronskian determinant condition in our model establishes the widely known Wronskian solution to the <span>((1+1))</span>-dimensional KdV equation. We derive a rational Wronskian solution by selecting a specific coefficient matrix in the resulting Wronskian formulation. Furthermore, we calculate one-, two-, and three-soliton solutions in Wronskian form and visually depict their soliton dynamics using Mathematica with appropriately chosen parameters. Additionally, we present a Grammian determinant solution, utilizing the Jacobi relation. To obtain the lump solution, we employ a quadratic function as a test function within the Hirota bilinear form. Furthermore, we calculate two sets of lump-multi-kink solutions employing two distinct test functions. We provide a visual comparison of the evolutionary dynamics of the lump-multi-kink solutions corresponding to two distinct test functions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":792,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Plus","volume":"140 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143938334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

KK gravity in four dimensions (4D) is of particular interest, as it predicts a tower of particle states, including gravitons with spin-0 and spin-1 components, in addition to the massless spin-2 gravitons of general relativity. The extra degrees of freedom in the gravitational sector modify the law of gravity, allowing the theory to explain the effects attributed to dark matter in the universe. In this paper, we construct a black hole solution surrounded by massive spin-1 gravitons within KK theory. In addition to the influence of the massive vector fields, we incorporate an interaction term between the black hole and the massive vector field. The black hole solution is affected by the mass of the spin-1 graviton and an additional parameter that encodes corrections to Newton’s constant, as well as the coupling between the massive vector field and the black hole mass. We find that the coupling between the massive vector field and the black hole mimics the effect of an electric charge. To this end, we investigate the accretion disk, quasinormal modes (QNMs), and the stability of the black hole spacetime.
