Abstract

In this paper, we aim to investigate the (2 + 1)-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain equation that is used to describe the nonlinear dynamics of magnets. Two recent effective technologies, namely, the variational method and subequation method, are employed to construct the abundant soliton solutions. By these two methods, diverse solutions such as the bright soliton, dark soliton, bright-dark soliton, perfect periodic soliton, and singular periodic soliton are successfully extracted. The numerical results are illustrated in the form of 3-D plots and 2-D curves by choosing proper parametric values to interpret the dynamics of wave profiles. Finally, the physical interpretation of the acquired results is elaborated in detail. The results obtained in this study are helpful to explain some physical meanings of some nonlinear physical models in electromagnetic waves.

1. Introduction

Many complex problems arising in nature can be described by nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs). The exact solutions of the NLPDEs have been a hot topic for mathematicians and physicists. The soliton travels in a nonlinear media while maintaining a constant size, shape, and energy. The study of the soliton solutions can provide a theoretical reference for the research of nonlinear physical models, soliton control, optical switching equipment, and so on. Up to now, many effective and powerful methods have been obtained for constructing the soliton solutions of the NLPDEs: the extended trial equation method [1, 2], generalized exponential rational function method [3], sine-Gordon expansion method [46], generalized (G′/G) expansion method [7], extended rational sine-cosine and sinh-cosh method [8, 9], F-expansion method [1012], Cole-Hopf transformation [13, 14], exp-function method [1517], extended tanh-function method [1820], Bäcklund transformation [21], Sardar subequation method [22, 23], and so on [2431]. In this paper, we aim to study the (2 + 1)-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain equation (HFSCE) that is given by [32]:
(1)
where γ1 = λ4(v + v2), γ2 = λ4(v1 + v2), γ3 = 3λv2, and γ4 = 3λ4A. λ is the lattice parameter, v and v1 are the coefficients of bilinear exchange interactions along the x- and y-directions, respectively. v2 refers to the neighboring interaction along the diagonal, and A represents the uniaxial crystal field anisotropy parameter.

The (2 + 1)-dimensional HFSCE is used to describe the nonlinear dynamics of magnets. In [33], the two methods, improved auxiliary equation and generalized Riccati mapping methods, are used to seek for the diverse solitons. In [34], the Jacobi elliptic expansion method is adopted and bright and dark soliton solutions are obtained. In [35], the theory of dynamical systems is introduced for constructing the bounded traveling wave solutions. In [36], the modified Khater method is carried out to deal with Eq. (1). The generalized tanh methods is employed to solve Eq. (1) in [37], and dark, dark-bright, or combined optical and singular soliton solutions are attained. In [38], the authors use two approaches, namely, the modified F-expansion and projective Riccati equation methods to investigate (Eq. (1)). Inspired by these research results, here in this work, we mainly seek its abundant soliton solutions by using two effective methods, the variational method (VM) and subequation method (SEM). The VM which is based on the variational theory can provide the optimized solutions in only one step via the stationary condition. In addition, the SEM that is straightforward and effective can construct abundant solutions via the symbolic calculation. The structure of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we introduce the algorithms of the two methods. In Section 3, the two methods are applied to find the soliton solutions. In Section 3, the behaviors of the solutions and their physical interpretations are presented. Finally, a conclusion is reached in Section 5.

2. The Two Methods

This section is to give a brief introduction to the VM and SEM. Considering a partial differential equation (PDE) with the form as
(2)
Applying the following transformation,
(3)
where k and r are arbitrary nonzero constants. Substituting Eq. (3) into Eq. (2), we can convert Eq. (3) into an ordinary differential equation (ODE):
(4)

2.1. The VM

Aided by the semi-inverse method [3945], the variational principle of Eq. (4) can be developed as
(5)

Assuming that the solutions of Eq. (4) take the following different forms.

Hypothesis one: U(ξ) = H1sech(ξ).

Hypothesis two: U(ξ) = H2sech2(ξ).

Hypothesis three: U(ξ) = ((H3sinh(ξ))/([cosh(ξ)](3/2))).

Hypothesis four: U(ξ) = H4cos(ϖξ).

Then, taking the above-assumed expressions into Eq. (5) and applying the stationary conditions as

Result one: (dJ/dH1) = 0.

Result two: (dJ/dH2) = 0.

Result three: (dJ/dH3) = 0.

Result four: (dJ/dH4) = 0.

Solving the above different results, the expressions of H1, H2, H3, and H4 can be easily determined.

2.2. The SEM

By the SEM [4649], the solution of Eq. (4) can be assumed as
(6)
where σi(i = 0, 1, 2.⋯, c) are the constants to be determined later. There is
(7)

Here, Ξ is a constant. Substituting Eq. (6) together with Eq. (7) into Eq. (4), we can determine the value of c by the balancing theory. With the determined c, we can get an overdetermined system of nonlinear algebraic equations by setting the coefficients of each power of φ(γ) to zero. Solving it, we can determine the expression of Eq. (6).

The solutions of Eq.(7) for the different conditions are
(8)

3. Applications

The following complex transformation is introduced:
(9)
Taking Eq. (9) into Eq. (1) produces the following the imaginary and real parts, respectively, as
(10)
(11)
where ψ = (d2ψ/dξ2).

3.1. Application of the VM

With help of the semi-inverse method, we can get the Euler-Lagrange equation of Eq. (11) as
(12)
So, the variational formulation of Eq. (11) can be established as
(13)
For simplicity, we rewrite Eq. (13) as
(14)
where μ1 = (1/2)[kγ1m2n(γ2n + γ3m)], μ2 = (3/4)γ4, and μ3 = (1/2)(γ1a2 + γ2b2 + γ3ab).

3.1.1. Bright Soliton

We assume the solution of Eq. (11) has the following form:
(15)
Bringing the above equation into Eq. (14) yields
(16)
Taking the stationary value condition for Eq. (16) with respect to A, we attain
(17)
which leads to
(18)
With this, the solution of Eq. (11) can be obtained as
(19)
Thus, the bright soliton solution of Eq. (1) is attained as
(20)

3.1.2. Bright-Like Soliton

We can also suppose the solution of Eq. (11) as
(21)
In the same way, substituting Eq. (21) into Eq. (14) results in
(22)
Taking the stationary value condition of Eq. (22) yields
(23)
Solving Eq. (23), we have
(24)
Thus, we can get the solution of Eq. (4) as
(25)
Then, the bright-like soliton solution of Eq. (1) is found as
(26)

3.1.3. Bright-Dark Soliton

The solution of Eq. (11) can be assumed as
(27)
Taking the above equation into Eq. (14) yields
(28)
Computing the stationary condition of the above equation as
(29)
which leads to
(30)
So, we can determine the expression of A as
(31)
Then, Eq. (27) can be written as
(32)
Thus, we gain the bright-dark soliton solution of Eq. (1) as
(33)

3.1.4. Periodic Soliton

The periodic solution of Eq. (11) is assumed as
(34)
where ϖ is the frequency to be further determined. Injecting Eq. (34) into Eq. (7), there is
(35)
Taking its stationary value condition with respect to Θ yields
(36)
From which, we can determine the frequency as
(37)
Therefore, we attain the periodic solution of Eq. (4) as
(38)
So, the periodic soliton solution of Eq. (1) is obtained as
(39)

3.2. Application of the SEM

To use the SEM, we first rewrite Eq. (11) as
(40)
where δ1 = ((kγ1m2n(γ2n + γ3m))/(γ1a2 + γ2b2 + γ3ab)) and δ2 = (γ4/(γ1a2 + γ2b2 + γ3ab)).
Based on the SEM, the solution of Eq. (40) is considered as
(41)
Balancing ψ and ψ3, it gives
(42)
so Eq. (41) becomes
(43)
And there is
(44)

Taking Eq. (43) along with Eq. (44) into Eq. (40) results into

φ0:

φ1:

φ2:

φ3:

Solving the above equations, we have
(45)

Then, we get the solutions as follows:

Case 1. For ((kγ1m2n(γ2n + γ3m))/(γ1a2 + γ2b2 + γ3ab)) < 0, we have

(46)
(47)

Case 2. For ((kγ1m2n(γ2n + γ3m))/(γ1a2 + γ2b2 + γ3ab)) > 0, we have

(48)

Case 3. For ((kγ1m2n(γ2n + γ3m))/(γ1a2 + γ2b2 + γ3ab)) = 0, we have

(49)

For Eqs. (46)~(49), there is η = 2aγ1m + 2bγ2n + γ3(bm + an).

4. Numerical Results and Physical Interpretation

5. Conclusion and Future Recommendation

In this work, abundant soliton solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional HFSCE such as the bright soliton, dark soliton, bright-dark soliton, perfect periodic soliton, and singular periodic soliton are successfully constructed by means of the VM and SEM. The absolute parts of the solutions are presented through the 3-D plot and 2-D curve by assigning the proper parameters. In addition, we give the physical explanation of the solutions in detail. Through the calculation process, it can be found that the VM can reduce the order of the differential equation to simplify the equation via the variational theory. In addition, the SEM is effective and direct and can construct the different types of solitons. The methods adopted in this study can be used to investigate the other PDEs arising in the physics.

In recent years, the fractal and fractional derivatives [5061] have attracted extensive attention in different fields. How to apply the proposed methods to study the fractal and fractional PDEs will be the focus of our future research.
