In this study, we present a fractal generalized fourth-order Boussinesq equation which can describe the shallow water waves with the non-smooth boundary (such as the fractal boundary). Aided by the semi-inverse method, we establish its variational principle, which is proved to have a strong minimum condition via the He–Weierstrass theorem. Then, two powerful approaches namely the variational method (VM) and energy balance theory (EBT) are utilized to search for the periodic wave solutions. As expected, the results obtained by the two methods are almost the same. Furthermore, the impact of the fractal orders on the periodic wave structure is illustrated via the 3D plot and 2D curve. The results of this paper are expected to provide a reference for the study of periodic wave theory in fractal space.
A fractal modification of the combined KdV–mKdV equation which plays a key role in various fields of physics is presented in this work for the first time. Aided by the fractal two-scale transform, the homogeneous balance method is employed to construct the fractal Bäcklund transformation. By means of the Bäcklund transformation, some new exact explicit solutions such as the algebraic solitary wave solution of rational function, single-soliton solution, double-soliton solutions, N-soliton solutions, singular traveling solutions and the periodic wave solutions of trigonometric function are obtained. Finally, some solutions are illustrated with different fractal orders in the form of the 3D plot, 3D density and 2D curves by assigning reasonable parameters with the help of Mathematica. The findings in this paper are expected to present some new insights into the fractal theory of the fractal PDEs.
Under this work, we derive a new fractal unsteady Korteweg–de Vries model which can model the shallow water with the non-smooth boundary. The generalized fractal variational principle is constructed by employing the semi-inverse method and the fractal two-scale transform. In addition, we also investigate the abundant exact solutions by means of the sub-equation method. The impact of the fractal orders on the behaviors of the solutions is also discussed in detail. The obtained variational principle reveals the energy form of the conservation laws in the fractal space, and the obtained solutions can help the researchers to study the properties of the fractal solitary wave in the extremely small scale of time and space.
In this study, a new fractional Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation (ZKE) within the local fractional derivative (LFD) is derived. Yang’s non-differentiable (ND) traveling wave transform is introduced, then two novel techniques namely the Mittag-Leffler function-based method (MLFBM) and Yang’s special function method (Y-SFM) are adopted to seek for the ND exact solutions for the first time. With the aid of the Mathematica software, the dynamic behaviors of the different solutions on the Cantor sets are illustrated via the 3D plots by assigning the appropriate parameters. The attained results confirm that the mentioned methods are effective and straightforward, which can be used to study the ND exact solutions of the local fractional partial differential equations (PDEs).
