Dynamics of lump solutions, lump-kink solutions and periodic lump solutions in a (3+1)-dimensional generalized Jimbo-Miwa equation

Under investigation in this paper is a (3+1)-dimensional generalized Jimbo-Miwa equation(gJM), which describes many interesting three dimensional nonlinear waves in physics. Based on the properties of the Bell's polynomial, a very classic method is presented to find the Hirota bilinear form of the equation. By using the resulting bilinear form, we systematically construct its lump solutions and lump-like solutions including lump-kink solutions and periodic lump solutions with their corresponding limitations. Moreover, we show that the conditions satisfying by lump solutions are considered to satisfy several important properties, including localization, positive and analyticity. The interaction solutions among a lump and a kink wave are also provided by considering a special function. The corresponding interaction phenomenon does not possess elasticity, but has a constantly removing process between a lump and a kink wave. Finally, periodic lump solutions are also derived by employing the three-wave method. It is hoped that our results can help rich the dynamic behaviors of the (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo-Miwa-like equations.
