High-Order Solitons and Hybrid Behavior of (3 + 1)-Dimensional Potential Yu-Toda-Sasa-Fukuyama Equation with Variable Coefficients ()
1. Introduction
It is well known that the exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations play an important role in the study of many complex physical phenomena and other nonlinear engineering problems. Constructing the exact solution of nonlinear wave equations is of great significance in science and engineering applications. With the rapid development of science and technology, many methods for solving nonlinear partial differential equations have been developed, such as the long wave limit method [1] [2], the multiple exp-function algorithm [3], inverse scattering [4], Lie group method [5], Hirota bilinear method [6], Darboux transformation [7] [8].
Recently, Yu et al. [9] extended Bogoyavlenskii-Schif equation to be the (3 + 1)-dimensional potential Yu-Toda-Sasa-Fukuyama equation

This equation combines contributions from multiple scholars and represents an effort to gain a deeper understanding of nonlinear wave phenomena, involving the intersection of different subject areas. The study of (3 + 1)-dimensional potential Yu-Toda-Sasa-Fukuyama equation helps to explore nonlinear phenomena that are widely seen in physics, engineering and mathematics, such as the formation and propagation of waves. As a classical nonlinear partial differential equation, the constant-coefficient (3 + 1)-dimensional YTSF equation has been studied by many scholars [9]-[14]. Manafian et al. investigated the periodic wave solutions for the (3 + 1)-dimensional potential-Yu-Toda-Sasa-Fukuyama equation, from its bilinear form, obtained using the Hirota operator [15]. By using the exp-function method, Wang obtained new generalized solitary solutions and periodic solutions with free parameters [16]. Younis investigated some new exact solutions and mixed lump wave solutions by using the extended three soliton test approach [17]. By selecting specific parameters, Ma obtained some local waves from multi-soliton solutions [18]. Tan investigated the dynamics of kinky wave by using extended homoclinic test technique [19] [20]. Scholars have studied many methods to analyze the constant coefficient equations, and the exact solutions of the constant coefficient equations have been studied thoroughly. However, due to the fact that variable-coefficient equations are more complicated and difficult to solve than the constant-coefficient equations, research on variable-coefficient equations is relatively scarce.
In order to seek new soliton structures and study the diversity of solitons, based on [9], we study the (3 + 1)-dimensional potential Yu-Toda-Sasa-Fukuyama equation with variable coefficients as follows:

where
are free function of t, and u is the function of
.
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we get the bilinear form of the (3 + 1)-dimensional vc-YTSF equation. In Section 3, first, N-soliton solutions can be obtained by using the Hirota bilinear method. Second, by using the long wave limit method, we get the N-order rational solutions, lump solutions and hybrid solutions between 1-lump and N-solitons from N-solitons. Finally, some conclusions can be given in Section 4.
2. The N-Soliton Solutions and Lump Solutions
We take
[19], then Equation (2) can be reduced to the following form
(3)
According to [21], we take the following transformation:
(4)
where f is an unknown test function. Substituting (4) into (3), we get the following bilinear form of (3 + 1)-dimensional vc-YTSF equation:
(5)
where the operator
is the Hirota’s bilinear differential operator defined by [6].
2.1. The N-Soliton Solutions
Based on the Hirota’s bilinear Equation (5), the N-order soliton solutions of (3 + 1)-dimensional vc-YTSF Equation (2) can be obtained,
(6)
where the

, and the

.
By combining (6) and (5), we get the parameter relationships as
(7)
where
and
are some free parameters. Substituting (6) with (7) into (4), we can obtain the N-soliton solutions of (3 + 1)-dimensional vc-YTSF Equation (2).
By consulting references [22]-[24] and combining the equation, we choose the following four functions for
and
.
Case 1:
(8)
Case 2:
(9)
Case 3:
(10)
Case 4:
(11)
Among the above four different sets of functions, there is one set of constant coefficients and the remaining three of variable coefficients. Through these four sets of functions, we will get one set of three-dimensional diagrams of constant coefficient functions and three sets of variable coefficient functions. Through the comparison of the diagrams, we can clearly see the difference in the exact solutions between the variable coefficient equation and the constant coefficient equation.
We give four different three-dimensional diagrams of 1-soliton solution in Figure 1, with different parameter values as (a):

2.2. The Lump Solution
In this section, we first get the N-order rational solution from the N-order soliton solutions by using the long wave limit method, and then complex the parameters of the N-order rational solutions to obtain the lump solutions. In order to get the N-order rational solution of (3 + 1)-dimensional vc-YTSF Equation (2), we take
in (6) and (7), then
can be written as follows
(12)
with
. Letting
tend to 0 and taking
in (12) and (6),
can be rewritten as
(13)
with
(14)
Combining the above Equation (13) with the transformation u given by Equation (4), we can get the following form of rational solutions,
(15)
where
denotes the summation over all possible combinations of
. We can get the corresponding N-order rational solution of (3 + 1)-dimensional vc-YTSF Equation (2) by taking
in (15) and substituting it into (4).
For example, take
in (15), then, we get the following form
(16)
The following form of 2-order rational solution can be obtained by bringing (14) and (16) into (4)
(17)
In order to obtain 1-order lump solution, first, we set
,
in (16), so
can be rewritten as
Then, substitute the above formula into transformation (4), we can the following solution.

Similar to the calculation procedure for

by selecting appropriate parameters. We take
,
,
,
in (18), then we get the 1-lump solutions for constant coefficient (3 + 1)-YTSF equation in Figure 4. Although lump solutions for constant coefficient equations have been widely studied [25]-[27], Figure 4 is given as a special case. Of course, by taking the following three different parameters, we can obtain some diagrams of 1-lump solutions with different variable coefficients in Figures 5-7. In Figure 5, the parameters are

3. The H-Order Hybrid Solution
In this section, we study the hybrid solution between lump solution and solitons in variable coefficient (3 + 1)-dimensional YTSF Equation (2) by using the long-wave limit method and parametric complex. We will mainly study the hybrid solution between the 1-lump solution and 1-soliton, the hybrid solution between the 1-lump solution and 2-soliton, and give a large number of three-dimensional diagrams to show this behavior.

By taking different and appropriate parameters, we give four different sets of diagrams for hybrid solution between 1-lump solution and 1-soliton, including one set of constant coefficients and three sets of variable coefficients. The values of the parameters in Figure 8 are

4. Conclusion
In this paper, the N-soliton solution, lump solution and hybrid solution of the (3 + 1)-dimensional variable-coefficient Yu-Toda-Sasa-Fukuyama (vc-YTSF) equation are studied. Firstly, Hirota’s direct method is used to obtain the N-soliton solution, then the N-order rational solution is obtained from N-soliton solution by the long-wave limit method, and lump solutions are obtained by parametric complex. Finally, we also discuss the hybrid solution of lump solutions and solitons, and show the process of obtaining the hybrid solution between 1-lump and 1-soliton, 1-lump and 2-soliton. In addition, by providing four different sets of coefficient functions, four different sets of three-dimensional graphs of solitons, lump and hybrid solutions are drawn.
