On Bell polynomials approach to the integrability of a (3+1)-dimensional generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation
Abstract
In this paper, a (3+1)-dimensional generalized variable-coefficients Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (gvcKP) equation is proposed, which describes many nonlinear phenomena in fluid dynamics and plasma physics. By a very natural way, the integrable constraint conditions on the variable coefficients are presented to investigate the integrabilities of the gvcKP equation. Based on the generalized Bell's polynomials, we succinctly obtain its bilinear representations, bilinear Bäcklund transformation and Lax pair, respectively. Furthermore, by virtue of the binary Bell polynomial form, the infinite conservation laws of the equation are found with explicit recursion formulas as well by using its Lax equations via algebraic and differential manipulation. In addition, by using the Hirota bilinear method, its N-soliton solutions are also obtained.
