The Solitary Wave Theory

2.4.1 Solitary Wave

The nonlinear evolution equations that describe the wave process in dispersive and dissipation media have soliton-like solutions for these waves [6]

2.4.2 Soliton

A solitary wave that asymptotically maintains its shape and velocity when interacting nonlinearly with other solitary waves is known as a soliton [43]. The characteristics of Soliton are as follows:
1. Their form is permanent.
2. They are confined to a certain area.
3. Aside from a phase shift, they can interact with other solitons and come out of the collision    unaltered.
4. A fine balance between dispersive and nonlinear effects results in soliton.

2.4.3 Travelling Wave

A traveling wave [43] is one in which the medium moves in the direction of the wave’s propagation. When studying nonlinear differential equations, traveling waves occur. These waves are represented by the form

and  is the speed of wave propagation. For , the wave moves in the positive  direction whereas the wave moves in the negative  direction for .

2.4.4 Types of Travelling Wave Solutions

In solitary wave theory, traveling wave solutions,which come in a variety of forms are very significant. Six distinct kinds of traveling wave solutions will be discussed here, along with their corresponding figures.

Definition 2.17. Localized traveling waves with constant forms and speeds that asymptotically zero at long distance solutions are known as solitary waves [43]. One particular type of solitary wave is called a soliton. A spatially localized solution is the soliton solution

, hence

The KdV equation is a pioneer model for analytic bell-shaped solitary wave solutions.

Definition 2.18. Traveling waves that rise or fall from one asymptotic condition to another are known as kink waves [43]. At infinity, the Kink solution gets closer to a constant. The typical dissipative Burgers formula

is a well-known equation that gives kink solutions where v is the viscosity coefficient.

Definition 2.19Periodic waves [43] are periodic traveling waves, such cos⁡(x-t). Periodic solutions are provided by the standard wave Below is a graphic representation.

representation is given below

Definition 2.20. The solitary wave solutions are called peakons [43]. With the exception of a peak at one corner of its crest, the traveling solutions in this instance are smooth. Peakons are solutions that, following interaction, maintain their speed and shape. After investigation, peakons were divided into two categories: periodic peakons and peakons with exponential decay. Below are a few graphical depictions of peakons.

Definition 2.21. Another type of solitons that have cusps at their crests are called cuspons [43]. The derivative at a Cuspons jump diverges, in contrast to Peakons, where the derivative at the peak differs only by a sign.

It is important to note that the Soliton solution , along with its derivatives tends to zero as  Cuspons were investigated and classified as periodic Cuspons and Cuspons with exponential decay.

Definition 2.22. Each compacton is a soliton constrained to a finite core, making it a new form of soliton with compact spatial support. One of the following methods can be used to characterize the properties of compactons [43]:
1. Solitons with a finite wavelength are called compactons.

2. Single waves with compact support are called compactons.
3. Solitons without an exponential tail are called compactons.
4. The lack of endless wings distinguishes compactons from soliton.
5. Compactons are strong solutions that resemble solvon.
Below is a graphic representation.

2.5 Some Basic Definitions of Wavelets Theory

2.5.1 History

In the 1980s, wavelet analysis emerged in the mostly mathematical literature, and in the 1990s, it started to be widely applied in geophysics. Wavelets can be applied to data compression, picture processing, and signal analysis. While retaining some degree of temporal or space locality, they are helpful for sorting out scale information.

2.5.2 Wavelets

“The 1980s saw the development of wavelet analysis in the mostly mathematical literature, while the 1990s saw its widespread application in geophysics. Data compression, picture processing, and signal analysis are all applications for wavelets. They are helpful for separating out scale information while preserving some degree of locality in space or time.

 2.5.3 Types of Wavelets

Meyer (1993) states that two basic kinds of wavelets [44] can be taken into consideration,
1. The time-scale wavelets of Grossmann-Morlet
2. The time-frequency wavelets of Gabor-Malvar.
A “mother function”  of some real variable  is used to define time-scale wavelets.

By translating and scaling the mother wavelet, the mother function can be utilized to create a whole family of wavelets.

Here  is the translation parameter and  is the scaling parameter. Provided that  is  real-valued, this collection of wavelets can be used as an orthonormal basis. If we restrict the parameters  and  to discrete values as  and  are positive integers, we have the following family of discrete wavelets

where  forms an orthogonal basis.

2.5.4 Functions Approximation

 It is possible to expand [46] a function f(t) defined over [0, 1] as

                                                                                   (2.44)

where  in which  denotes the inner product. If the infinite series in Eq. (3.44) is truncated, then Eq. (3.44) can be written as

                                                                                  (2.45)

It can be written as

                                                               (2.46)

where  and  are  matrices given as
