AbstractWe will directly construct a bilinear Bäcklund transformation (BT) of a (2+1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries-like model. The construction is based on a so-called quadrilinear representation. The resulting bilinear BT is in accordance with the auxiliary-independentvariable-involved one derived with the Bell-polynomial scheme. Moreover, by applying the gauge transformation and the Hirota perturbation technique, multisoliton solutions are iteratively computed.
