Soliton dynamics in the $ (2+1) $-dimensional Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov system via the Riccati modified extended simple equation method by Naveed Iqbal, Meshari Alesemi

“…The current study employs a transformation-based analytical technique, namely Riccati modified extended simple equation method (RMESEM) to construct and examine soliton phenomena in a prominent $ (2+1) $-dimensional mathematical model namely Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov system (NNVS), which has potential applications in exponentially localized structure interactions. The suggested RMESEM uses a variable transformation to turn the desired NNVS into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (NODE). …”
