摘要

Using an asymptotic perturbation method, we study the initial value problem for the KP equation with initial data consisting of parts of exact line-soliton solutions. We consider a slow modulation of the soliton parameters, described by a dynamical system obtained via the perturbation method. The dynamical system is given by a 2-component quasi-linear system. In particular, we show that a singular solution (shock wave) of the system leads to the generation of a new soliton as a result of the resonant interaction of solitons. We also show that a regular solution corresponding to a rarefaction wave of the system can be described by a parabola (which we call a parabolic-soliton). We then perform numerical simulations of the initial value problem and show that they are in excellent agreement with the results obtained by the perturbation method.
