Traveling waves and transverse instability for the fractional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation. (English) Zbl 1529.35119

Summary: Of concern are traveling wave solutions for the fractional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (fKP) equation. The existence of periodically modulated solitary wave solutions is proved by dimension-breaking bifurcation. Moreover, the line solitary wave solutions and their transverse (in)stability are discussed. Analogous to the classical Kadmomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation, the fKP equation comes in two versions: fKP-I and fKP-II. We show that the line solitary waves of fKP-I equation are transversely linearly instable. We also perform numerical experiments to observe the (in)stability dynamics of line solitary waves for both fKP-I and fKP-II equations.
