Abstract
A generalized (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave is investigated, which describes many nonlinear phenomena in liquid containing gas bubbles. In this paper, a lucid and systematic approach is proposed to systematically study the complete integrability of the equation by using Bell’s polynomials scheme. Its bilinear equation, N-soliton solution and Bäcklund transformation with explicit formulas are successfully structured, which can be reduced to the analogues of (3+1)-dimensional KP equation, (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation and Korteweg-de Vries equation, respectively. Moreover, the infinite conservation laws of the equation are found by using its Bäcklund transformation. All conserved densities and fluxes are presented with explicit recursion formulas. Furthermore, by employing Riemann theta function, the one- and two-periodic wave solutions for the equation are constructed well. Finally, an asymptotic relation is presented, which implies that the periodic wave solutions can be degenerated to the soliton solutions under some special conditions.

1 Introduction
Investigating the integrability of the nonlinear evolution equation (NLEE) has become much more significant because it could be considered as a pretest and the first step of its exact solvability. A lot of important properties could characterize the integrability of the NLEEs, such as bilinear form, infinite conservation laws, Lax pairs, infinite symmetries, bilinear Bäcklund transformation and Painlevé test. As we know, many methods, such as inverse scattering transformation [1], Darboux transformation [2], Bäcklund transformation [3] and Hirota method [4], are proposed to cope with the nonlinear equation. By employing the bilinear form, we can construct a multisoliton solution for a nonlinear equation; furthermore, the bilinear Bäcklund transformation and some other important properties [5–7] could be obtained. In addition to this, an approach that combine the Hirota bilinear form and Riemann theta function is feasible to deal with exact periodic wave solutions for nonlinear equation.
In 1980s, a straight approach is presented by Nakamura to construct a certain kind of quasi-periodic solutions for nonlinear evolution equation in his essay [8]. He obtains the periodic wave solutions of KdV equation and Boussinesq equation, respectively. Recently, this method is extended to study the (2+1)-dimensional Bogoyavlenskii’s breaking soliton equation, KP equation and KdV equation by Fan and Hon [9–11]. Ma [12–14] investigates the resonant solutions and periodic wave solutions of trilinear equations by using Bell polynomials. Chen et al. [15] study the integrability of the modified generalized Vakhnenko equation. Tian et al. [16] extended this method to the Zhiber–Shabat equation, etc. The method is extended to study the integrability and structure the periodic wave solutions for some nonlinear equations, discrete soliton equations and supersymmetric equations by Tian and Zhang [17–21].
Now, many people pay attention to a kind of generalized nonlinear equation since they admit much more widely application in a great number physical fields [22–36]. Through investigating a generalized form for nonlinear evolution equations, many more general properties of the equation(s) can be obtained.
In this paper, we focus on a generalized (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave in liquid containing gas bubbles
where \(u=u(x,y,z,t)\), \(h_{i}(i=1,2,3,4,5)\) are free constants. By taking some appropriate parameters for \(h_{i}\), we can construct a variety of nonlinear wave equations. Some important examples are given below.

Some exact solutions for the nonlinear evolution equation are presented by the application of the Hirota method [40].
-
The Korteweg-de Vries equation [41]
$$\begin{aligned} u_{t}+6uu_{x}+u_{xxx}=0, \end{aligned}$$(4)is found to describe many physical and engineering phenomena, such as ion-acoustic waves, geophysical fluid dynamics, lattice dynamics.
The main purpose of this paper is to study the bilinear equation, Bäcklund transformations and infinite conservation laws of the generalized (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave Eq. (1) by using Bell polynomial approach. Furthermore, N-soliton solutions and periodic wave solutions with a asymptotic property are also constructed, respectively.
The paper is organized as follows. In Sects. 2–3, the bilinear form, Bäcklund transformation and soliton solutions for Eq. (1) in liquid containing gas bubbles are constructed by employing the binary Bell polynomials. Then, the infinite conservation laws with all conserved densities and fluxes are given by explicit recursion formulas for Eq. (1) in Sect. 4. In Sect. 5, based on the bilinear operator, by combining with Riemann theta function, we get one- and two-periodic wave solutions for Eq. (1). Finally, in Sect. 6, a asymptotic property is investigated in detail, and as a result, the relationship between the periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions is obtained.
2 The bilinear representation and soliton solutions
In this section, we research the bilinear representation for the generalized (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave Eq. (1) by using the binary Bell polynomials.
2.1 The bilinear representation
Theorem 1
By employing the following transformation
the generalized (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave Eq. (1) admits the following bilinear equation
Proof
First of all, introducing a transformation
where c(t) is a free function, one can connect Eq. (1) with \({\mathcal {P}}\)-polynomials. By the substitution of Eq. (7) into Eq. (1), one has
By integrating Eq. (8) with respect to x, the result is given by
i.e.,
with \(d=d(t,y,z)\) is an integration constant. Letting \(c(t)=6h_{2}h_{1}^{-1}\) and by employing the formula (103), Eq. (10) becomes
Finally, based on the property (105) and the following transformation
the standard identities of the Hirota D-operator
yields the bilinear form of Eq. (1) directly, that is bilinear Eq. (6). \(\square \)
Equation (6) is a new bilinear equation, which can also be reduced to the ones of the equations investigated in [37–41] by taking the appropriate coefficients \(h_{i}\).
Let \(h_{1}=-6, h_{2}=1, h_{3}=0, h_{4}=3, h_{5}=3\), Eq. (1) is reduced to the (3+1)-dimensional KP Eq. (2), the bilinear equation becomes
Let \(h_{1}=1, h_{2}=1, h_{3}=0, h_{4}=\frac{1}{2}, h_{5}=\frac{1}{2}\), Eq. (1) is degenerated into three-dimensional nonlinear waves Eq. (3), the bilinear equation becomes
Let \(h_{1}=6, h_{2}=1, h_{3}=0, h_{4}=0, h_{5}=0\), Eq. (1) is reduced to the Korteweg-de Vries Eq. (4), the bilinear equation becomes
2.2 Soliton solutions
Next, based on the bilinear equation, we obtain the N-soliton solution of Eq. (1) as of the form
in which \(\mu _{j}\), \(\nu _{j}\), \(\sigma _{j}\), \(\delta _{j}\) are all free constants, and
with \(\eta _{j}=\mu _{j} x+\nu _{j} y+\sigma _{j} z+\gamma _{j} t+\delta _{j}\), \(\gamma _{j}=-h_{2}\mu _{j}^{3}-h_{3}\mu _{j}-h_{4}\mu _{j}^{-1}\nu _{j}^{2}-h_{5}\mu _{j}^{-1}\sigma _{j}^{2}\) \((1\le j<i\le N)\), \(\sum _{1\le j<i\le N}^{N}\) is the summation over all possible pairs selected from N elements with the condition \((1\le j<i\le N)\), and \(\sum _{\rho =0,1}\) denotes the summation over all possible combinations of \(\rho _{i},\rho _{j}=0,1\) \((i,j=1,2,\ldots ,N)\).
Its one-soliton and two-soliton solution could be easily obtained. For \(N=1\), the one-soliton solution is of the form
For \(N=2\), the two-soliton solution is of the form
with
As its special cases, the (3+1)-dimensional KP Eq. (2) has a N-soliton wave solution given by
where \(\mu _{j}\), \(\nu _{j}\), \(\sigma _{j}\), \(\delta _{j}\) are all free constants, and
with \(\eta _{j}=\mu _{j} x+\nu _{j} y+\sigma _{j} z+(-\mu _{j}^{3}-3\mu _{j}^{-1}\nu _{j}^{2}-3\mu _{j}^{-1}\sigma _{j}^{2}) t+\delta _{j}\).
For (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear waves Eq. (3), its N-soliton wave solution is given as follows
in which \(\mu _{j}\), \(\nu _{j}\), \(\sigma _{j}\), \(\delta _{j}\) are all free constants, and
with \(\eta _{j}=\mu _{j} x+\nu _{j} y+\sigma _{j} z+(-\mu _{j}^{3}-\frac{1}{2}\mu _{j}^{-1}\nu _{j}^{2}-\frac{1}{2}\mu _{j}^{-1}\sigma _{j}^{2}) t+\delta _{j}\).
For the Korteweg-de Vries Eq. (4), we also obtain its N-soliton wave solution, which has the following form,
with
and \(\eta _{j}=\mu _{j} x+\nu _{j} y+\sigma _{j} z-\mu _{j}^{3} t+\delta _{j}\).
The graph of Fig. 1 shows the one-soliton wave solution (19) plotted through selecting the appropriate parameters (see Fig. 1).
The graph of Fig. 2 shows the two-soliton wave solution (20) plotted by choosing the appropriate parameters (see Fig. 2).
3 Bäcklund transformation
Theorem 2
Let f be a solution of Eq. (6), if g satisfies the following system
where \(M^{2}=h_{5}/3h_{2}\), then g is another solution of the Eq. (6). The system (28) is called a Bäcklund transformation of the generalized \((3+1)\)-dimensional nonlinear wave Eq. (1).
Proof
In order to obtain the Bäcklund transformation of the generalized (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave Eq. (1), let
be two different solutions for Eq. (10). Considering Eq. (29) and Eq. (10), one then has
When under suitable additional constraints, it can produce the transformation.
Introducing the following two new auxiliary variables
and the condition (30) could be rewritten as another form
where
For writing \({\mathscr {R}}(\upsilon ,\omega )\) as the form of \({\mathscr {Y}}\)-polynomials with x-derivative, we introduce the following constraint
in which M is an undetermined constant, and \(\lambda \) is an arbitrary parameter. By employing Eq. (34), \({\mathscr {R}}(\upsilon ,\omega )\) can be rewritten as follows
and under the constraint \(3M^2h_{2}=h_{5}\), it is equivalent to the following expression
Finally, linking Eqs. (34)–(36), the \({\mathscr {Y}}\)-polynomials could be derived as follows
Through employing the identity (102), the system (37) leads to the Bäcklund transformation (28) at once. \(\square \)
In order to benefit more interested audience in the research community, one can also construct the bilinear Bäcklund transformation involving a few free parameters by using the same way presented by Ma and Abdeljabbar [42].
4 Infinite conservation laws
Theorem 3
The generalized \((3+1)\)-dimensional nonlinear wave Eq. (1) admits the following infinite conservation laws
The conversed densities \({\mathscr {I}}_{n}'s\) are presented by the following recursion formulas
the first fluxes \({\mathscr {H}}_{n}'s\) are presented by
the second fluxes \({\mathscr {G}}_{n}'s\) are given by
where \(\partial _{xx}^{-1}\) means integrating with respect to x twice, and the third fluxes \({\mathscr {K}}_{n}'s\) are presented by
Proof
The \({\mathscr {R}}(\upsilon ,\omega )\) that in the two-field condition (30) can be rewritten as another form
by employing the relationship \(\partial _{x}(\upsilon _{t})=\partial _{t}(\upsilon _{x})=\upsilon _{xt}\). The system (37) admits a conserved form
We introduce a new potential function
and based on the relationship (31), we have
By substituting (46) into (44), system (32) can be reduced to a Riccati-type equation
which is a new potential function with regard to q. Similarly, from Eq. (47), one can obtain the following divergence-type equation
by taking \(\lambda =\varepsilon ^{2}\). Inserting the following formula
into Eq. (47) and considering the coefficients with regard to the power of \(\varepsilon \), then one can directly derive the recursion relationship (39) of the conserved densities \({\mathscr {I}}_{n}\) as follows
Additionally, combining the expansion (49) with divergence-type Eq. (48), we have
which shows the infinite conservation laws (38)
where \({\mathscr {H}}_{n}'s\) are determined by system (40), and \({\mathscr {G}}_{n}'s\), \({\mathscr {K}}_{n}'s\) are determined by system (41), (42), respectively. \(\square \)
5 Riemann theta function periodic wave solutions
5.1 Riemann theta function preliminary
To begin with, we provide some fundamental definitions about Riemann theta function. The Riemann theta function with genus n is defined as
where \(\xi =(\xi _{1},\cdots ,\xi _{N})^{T}\in {\mathbb {C}}^{N}\) and \(n=(n_{1},\cdots ,n_{N})^{T}\in {\mathbb {Z}}^{N}\). Let \(f=(f_{1},\cdots ,f_{N})^{T}\) and \(g=(g_{1},\cdots ,g_{N})^{T}\) be two vectors, the inner product is defined as
In particular, let \(N=1\), the Riemann theta function (53) becomes
with the phase variable \(\xi =\alpha x+\beta y+\rho z+\omega t+\varepsilon \) and \(\text{ Im }(\tau )>0\). Let \(N=2\), the Riemann theta function (53) becomes
with the phase variable \(\xi _{i}=\alpha _{i}x+\beta _{i}y+\rho _{i} z+\omega _{i} t+\varepsilon _{i}\), \(i=1,2,\) \(n=(n_{1},n_{2})^{T}\in {\mathbb {Z}}^{2}\), \(\xi =(\xi _{1},\xi _{2})\in {\mathbb {C}}^{2}\), and \(-i\tau \) is a positive definite and real-valued symmetric \(2\times 2\) matrix which is given by
For obtaining the periodic wave solutions, a more generalized bilinear equation should be considered. Suppose that Eq. (1) admits \(u\rightarrow u_{0}\) when \(|\xi |\rightarrow 0\), the periodic wave solution of Eq. (1) satisfies
where \(\xi =(\xi _{1},\ldots ,\xi _{N})^{T}\), \(\xi _{i}=\alpha _{i}x+\beta _{i}y+\rho _{i} z+\omega _{i} t+\varepsilon _{i}\), \(i=1,2\ldots ,N\), \(u_{0}\) is a special solution with constant of Eq. (1). Linking Eq. (1) with Eq. (58), a more generalized bilinear equation is derived as
with \(c=c(y,z,t)\) being an integration constant.
5.2 One-periodic wave solutions
Theorem 4
If \(\vartheta (\xi ,\tau )\) is one Riemann theta function (55) as \(N=1\), a one-periodic wave solution of the generalized (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave Eq. (1) is given by
with
and
where \(\alpha ,\beta ,\rho ,\tau ,\varepsilon \) are arbitrary parameters.
Proof
The parameters \(\alpha ,\beta ,\rho ,\omega ,\varepsilon \) should satisfy the following system based on Theorem 1 in Ref. [17]
Substituting the bilinear Eq. (59) into the system (63a) and (63b), one can obtain the following results
which can be equivalently rewritten as the following system with the notations (62)
From system (64), one can obtain the following a one-periodic wave solution
which is also determined by the free parameters \(\alpha ,\beta ,\rho ,\varepsilon \) and \(\tau \). \(\square \)
The graph of Fig. 3 shows the one-periodic wave solution (60) plotted through selecting the appropriate parameters (see Fig. 3) .
5.3 Two-periodic wave solutions
Theorem 5
If \(\vartheta (\xi _{1},\xi _{2},\tau )\) is Riemann theta function (56) as \(N=2\), a two-periodic wave solution of the generalized \((3+1)\)-dimensional nonlinear wave Eq. (1) is given by
with the parameters \(\omega _{1},\omega _{2},u_{0},c\) have the following system
in which
and \( \theta _{i}=(\theta _{i}^{1},\theta _{i}^{2})^{T}\) , \(\theta _{1}=(0,0)^{T}\), \(\theta _{2}=(1,0)^{T}\), \(\theta _{3}=(0,1)^{T}\), \(\theta _{4}=(1,1)^{T}\), \( i=1,2,3,4\); \(\alpha _{i},\beta _{i},\rho _{i},\tau _{ij},\varepsilon _{i}\) \((i,j=1,2)\) are all free parameters.
Proof
Based on Theorem 2 in Ref. [17], the parameters \(\alpha _{i},\beta _{i},\rho _{i},\omega _{i},\varepsilon _{i}\) \((i=1,2)\) should satisfy
where \( \theta _{i}=(\theta _{i}^{1},\theta _{i}^{2})^{T}\) , \(\theta _{1}=(0,0)^{T}\), \(\theta _{2}=(1,0)^{T}\), \(\theta _{3}=(0,1)^{T}\), \(\theta _{4}=(1,1)^{T}\), \( i=1,2,3,4\).
Considering (69a)–(69d) with (59), we have the following system
From (68), the above system can be equivalent to
From system (71), one can get the following two-periodic wave solution
The two-periodic wave solution is also determined by the free parameters \(\alpha _{i},\beta _{i},\rho _{i},\varepsilon _{i}\) and \(\tau _{ij}\). \(\square \)
The graph of Fig. 4 shows a degenerate two-periodic wave solution plotted through selecting the suitable parameters (see Fig. 4).
6 Asymptotic analysis
In this section, the asymptotic behavior of the periodic wave solutions is researched. Here we deduce the relationship between the periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions.
Theorem 6
Let \((\omega , c)^{T}\) be a solution for system (64), we take
for the one-periodic wave solution (60), in which \(\mu ,\nu ,\sigma \) and \(\delta \) are determined by Eq. (19). The limiting properties are as follows
The above equations imply that the periodic wave solution (60) can be reduced to the soliton solution (19) where \((u,\wp )\longrightarrow (u_{1},0)\).
Proof
By employing Eqs. (62), expanding the matrix elements \(a_{ij}(i,j=1,2)\) and \(b_{i}(i=1,2)\) as \(\wp \), we have
The following formulas can be obtained by using Eqs. (4.10) and (4.12) in Ref. [17]
Considering Proposition 3 in Ref. [17], system (76) yields
and from system (4.11) in Ref. [17], we have the following formulas
Considering the formulas (73) and the condition \(\wp \rightarrow 0\), one has
i.e.,
In addition, the periodic function \(\vartheta (\xi )\) could be rewritten as follows
On account of the transformation (73), one has
from system (80) to (82), the following formulas can be obtained by
From system (82) and system (83), one finally derives
From all above analyses, it implies that the conclusion of Theorem 6 is hold when \(\wp \rightarrow 0.\) \(\square \)
Theorem 7
Let \((\omega _{1},\omega _{2},u_{0},c)^{T}\) be a solution for the system (71), we take
for the two-periodic wave solution (66), in which \(\mu _{i},\nu _{i},\sigma _{i},\delta _{i},A_{12}\) \(i=1,2\) depend on Eq. (20) and (21). The limiting properties as follows
which shows that the periodic wave solution (66) can be degraded to the soliton solution (20) when \((u,\wp _{1},\wp _{2})\rightarrow (u_{1},0,0)\).
Proof
At beginning, expanding the functions \(H,b,(\omega _{1},\omega _{2},u_{0},c)^{T}\) in terms of the series about \(\wp \)
According to Eqs. (68) and (87), we obtain
with
Substituting Eqs.(88)–(91) into the system (71) yields the following system
By the consideration of \(u_{0}^{(00)}=0\), one has
Considering (85) yields
Next, the periodic wave function \(\vartheta (\xi _{1},\xi _{2},\tau )\) can be rewritten as the following form
Considering the transformation (85), we have
where \(\tilde{\xi }_{i}=\mu _{i}x+\nu _{i}y+\sigma _{i}z+2\pi i\omega _{i}t+\delta _{i}\), \(i=1,2.\) From Eqs. (93) and (96), we get
Combining Eq. (96) with Eq. (97), we obtain
It implies that the conclusion of Theorem 7 is hold when \((u,\wp _{1},\wp _{2})\rightarrow (u_{1},0,0)\). \(\square \)
7 Conclusions
In this paper, the integrability properties of the generalized (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear waves (1) in liquid containing gas bubbles are researched. The bilinear equation, Bäcklund transformation, infinite conservation laws, N-soliton solution for Eq. (1) are systematically structured based on the binary Bell polynomials. These results can be reduced to the analogues of (3+1)-dimensional KP equation, (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation and Korteweg-de Vries equation, respectively. Furthermore, by the virtue of Riemann theta functions, we construct one- and two-periodic wave solutions for Eq. (1). Finally, we present a asymptotic property in detail, which implies that the periodic wave solutions can be degraded to the soliton solutions. All the results verify that the approach which combines the Hirota bilinear method and Riemann theta function is feasible and efficient to deal with the integrability properties of NLEE.

Appendix: Multidimensional Bell polynomials
Appendix: Multidimensional Bell polynomials
First of all, we give a brief description on multidimensional Bell polynomials. For details, refer to Lembert and Gilson’s work [43–45]. The definition of multidimensional Bell polynomial is given as follows:
with f=\(f(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots ,x_{n})\) being a function with multivariables, and \(f\in {\mathbb {C}}^{\infty }\).\(f_{l_{1}x_{1},\ldots ,l_{r}x_{r}}=\partial _{x_{1}}^{l_{1}}\cdots \partial _{x_{r}}^{l_{r}}\) \((0\le l_{i}\le n_{i},i=1,2,\ldots ,r)\). When \(n=1\), Eq. (99) can be rewritten as the following form
For combining Hirota D-operator with Bell polynomials, we can write the definition of multidimensional binary Bell polynomials as follows [44]:
which could take over the lightly recognizable partial structure of the Bell polynomials.
We can write the relationship between the \({\mathscr {Y}}\)-polynomials and the Hirota bilinear equation \(D_{x_{1}}^{n_{1}}\cdots D_{x_{1}}^{n_{r}}F\cdot G\) [4] by the identity [44] as follows
in which F and G are functions about the variables x and t. In particular, when \(F=G\), the identity (101) turns into
where the \({\mathcal {P}}\)-polynomials can be substituted by an equally recognizable partial structure
Separating the binary Bell polynomials \({\mathscr {Y}}_{n_{1}x_{1},\ldots ,n_{r}x_{r}}(\upsilon ,\omega )\) into \({\mathcal {P}}\)-polynomials and \({\mathscr {Y}}\)-polynomials
The critical property for the multidimensional Bell polynomials as follows
which shows that the binary Bell polynomials \({\mathscr {Y}}_{n_{1}x_{1},\ldots ,n_{r}x_{r}}(\upsilon ,\omega )\) can also be linearized through using the Hopf–Cole transformation \(\upsilon =\ln \psi \), that is, \(\psi =F/G\).
