Waves and Structures in the Boussinesq Equations

Аннотация

The classical Boussinesq equation describing gravity waves in shallow waters is under consideration. Hirota’s bilinear representation is used to construct exact solutions describing wave packets, waves on solitons, and “dancing” waves. The principle of multiplying the solutions of the Hirota equation is formulated, which helps constructing more complex structures made of solitons, wave packets, and other types of waves.
