In this paper, we consider the KP-MEW(3,2) equation by the bifurcation theory of dynamical systems when integral constant is considered. The corresponding traveling wave system is a singular planar dynamical system with one singular straight line. The phase portrait for , , and is drawn. Exact parametric representations of periodic peakon solutions and smooth periodic solution are presented.
1. Introduction
In 2012, Saha [1] considered KP-MEW equation:
It is constructed by combining the MEW equation with the sense of the KP equation. He obtained the smooth and nonsmooth traveling wave solutions of KP-MEW Eq. (1) by using bifurcation theory of dynamical system. In his paper, he neglected integral constants when transferred (1) to an ordinary differential equation. However, if integral constant does not equal to zero, what is the traveling wave solution? For the arised question, we investigate the following KP-MEW(3,2) equation: by using bifurcation theory of dynamical systems [2–10], when integral constant is considered.
About the topic, Wei et al. [11] constructed the single peak solitary wave solutions of generalized KP-MEW (2,2) equation with boundary condition by using the differential equation qualitative theory. Li and Song [12] found the kink-type wave and compaction-type wave solutions of generalized KP-MEW (2,2) equation by using bifurcation method and a numerical simulation approach of dynamical systems. Zhong et al. [13] obtained the cuspons, peakons, compacton, smooth, and loop soliton solutions of generalized KP-MEW equation by applying the bifurcation theory technique. In [14], lie symmetry analysis was performed on generalized KP-MEW equation. The authors derived symmetries and adjoint representations for KP-MEW equation. Seadawy et al. [15] investigated the solitary wave solutions of generalized KP-MEW-Burgers equation by applying modification form of extended auxiliary equation mapping method.
For finding the traveling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations, there are more plentiful methods to be adopted, such as mapping method and the extended mapping method [16], tanh-coth expansion method [17, 18], Darboux transformation [19], first integral method [20], and exp-expansion method [21]. Practically, there is no unified technique that can be employed to handle all types of nonlinear differential equations. It is important to discuss the dynamical behavior of a nonlinear traveling system. Therefore, in our paper, we try to find some new traveling wave solutions for Eq. (2) by bifurcation theory of dynamical system.
2. Phase Portraits
Making the transformations , integrating it twice, (2) arrives to where is the wave speed, is the integral constant, and is the derivative with respect to .
Equation (3) is equivalent to the planar dynamical system
Using the transformation , (4) changes to with the first integral where is an integral constant. Consequently, systems (4) and (5) have the same topological phase portraits except for the straight line .
Setting . Denote that , , and , where is an imaginary number. Based on the formula of finding roots for cubic equations, we have the following conclusions: (i) if has unique equilibrium point ; (ii) if has two equilibrium points and ; (iii) if has three equilibrium points , , and . Especially, on the straight line , there are two equilibrium points for .
