“…Further study of lump waves will help us interpret some unknown fields more deeply. Certain ways have been arranged to solve the lump wave solutions of some equations; they are inclusive of the Hirota bilinear method [9,10], the inverse scattering transformation [11], the Darboux transformation [12], the Bäcklund transformation [13], the functional variable method [14], the reduced differential transform method [15], and so on. Many integrable equations which have lump wave solutions are enumerated here, for example, the (3 + 1)-dimensional KPI equation [16], the Davey-Stewartson I equation [17], the (3 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation [18,19], and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation [20].…”
