“…Methods applied to constructing the analytic solutions of the NLPDEs have been proposed, such as the Hirota bilinear method [9 -14], Bäcklund transformation (BT) [9,15], Wronskian technique [16,17], Painlevé analysis [18,19], and Darboux transformation [20 -26]. The bilinear method can transform some NLPDEs into bilinear equations, e.g., the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) [10], Gardner [27 -32], Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) [33 -36] and modified KP (mKP) [37,38] equations.The Bäcklund transformation can connect several analytic solutions, and the auto-Bäcklund transformation several analytic solutions for the same equation [9,15].…”
