Multiple solution profiles to the higher-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvilli equations via Wronskian determinant. (English) Zbl 1151.35421
Summary: Many types of new exact solutions of $$(3 + 1)$$-dimensional KP equation are obtained via a unified Wronskian determinant and three linear partial differential equations, which involve many types of multiple solitary wave solutions, rational solutions, and rational-solitary wave solutions. It is shown that the collisions of the obtained multiple solitary wave solutions are elastic, which implies that $$(3 + 1)$$-dimensional KP equation admits multisoliton solutions. Moreover the Wronskian formal solutions of $$(n + 1)$$-dimensional KP equations are given.
