    In a previous paper (Chin. Phys. 11, 651, (2002)), a rather general variable separation solution ofthe generalized Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov(GNNV) system was obtained by using a special Backlundtransformation, which can be derived from the extended homogenous balance method. However we

    did not discuss the related localized coherent structures of the model. In this article, the abundanceof the localized coherent structures of the system, particularly some localized excitations with fractalbehaviours, i.e. the fractal dromion and fractal lump excitations, were induced by the appropriateselection of the separated variables arbitrary functions.

    I. INTRODUCTION

    It is well-known that the (2+1)-dimensional Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov(NNV) equation [1] isthe only known isotropic Lax extension of the well known (1+1)-dimensional KdV equation. Sometypes of soliton solutions have been studied by many authors. For Instance, Boiti, Leon, Mannaand Pempinelli [2] solved the NNV equation via the inverse scattering transformation. Tagami [3]

    and Hu, and Li [4] obtained soliton-like solutions for the NNV equation by means of the B acklundtransformation. Hu [5] also gave a nonlinear superposition formula of the NNV equation. Ohta[6] obtained the Pfaffian solutions for the NNV equation. Radha and Lakshmanan [7] constructedonly the dromion solutions from its bilinear form after analyzing its integrability aspects. Lou[8] obtained some special new types of multisoliton solutions for the NNV equation by using thestandard truncated Painleve analysis.

    In Ref. [9], a rather general variable separation solution of the generalized Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov(GNNV) system

    vt + avxxx + vyyy + cvx + dvy = 3a(uv)x + 3b(vw), (1)

    vx = uy, vy = wx, (2)

    where a,b,c and d are some arbitrary constants, was obtained by using a special Backlund trans-

    formation, which can be derived from the extended homogenous balance method. Specifically:

    v =2(A a1a2)pxqy

    (1 + a1p + a2q + Apq)2, (3)

    u =2(a1 + Aq)

    where a1, a2 and A are some arbitrary constants, p = p(x, t) may be an arbitrary function of {x, t}, and q = q(y, t) may also be an arbitrary function of{y, t}. However we did not discuss the relatedlocalized coherent structures of the model. In this article, the abundance of the localized coherentstructures of the system, in particular, some localized excitations with fractal behaviors, i.e. thefractal dromion and fractal lump excitations, were induced by appropriately selecting the separatedvariables arbitrary functions.

    II. SOME STABLE LOCALIZED COHERENT SOLITON STRUCTURES OF THE (2+1)-DIMENSIONAL GNNV SYSTEM

    It is interesting that expression (3) is valid for many (2+1)-dimensional models such as theDS equation, the NNV system, the ANNV equation and the ADS model, the dispersive long waveequation, etc. [13, 2628]. Because of the arbitrariness of the functions p and q included in (3), thequantity v possesses quite rich structures. For instance, as mentioned in [13, 2628], if we select

    the functions p and q appropriately, we can obtain many kinds of localized solutions, like the multi-solitoff solutions, multi-dromion and dromion lattice solutions, multiple ring soliton solutions, andso on. Although these types of localized solutions have been discussed for other models, we includesome special examples here for completeness.

    II-1. Multi-solitoff solutions and multi-dromion solutions driven by straight-line soli-tons

    If we restrict the functions p and q of (3) to bep = 1 +

    Ni=1 exp(kix + it + x0i) 1 +

    Ni=1 exp(i) ,

    q =M

    i=1 exp(Kiy + y0i)J

    j=1 exp(jt) ,(6)

    where x0i, y0i, ki, i, Ki and i are arbitrary constants, and M, N and J are arbitrary positive

    integers, then we have the multi-solitoff solutions (we call a half straight line soliton solution asolitoff, which is caused by the resonance condition A = 0) and the first type of special multi-dromion solutions (A = 0), driven by multiple straight-line solitons. There is no dispersion relationamong ki, i, Ki and i.

    Fig. 1 shows the structure of a two-solitoff solution for the quantity v shown by (3) with (6)and

    M = 2, N = 1, k1 = K1 = 1, K2 = 2, a1 = a2 = 1, A = 0,x01 = y01 = 0, y02 = 9 , (7)

    at time t = 0.Fig. 2 shows the structure of a single dromion solution for the quantity v shown by (3 ) with

    (6) and

    M = 1, N = 1, k1 = K1 = 3, a1 = 10, a2 = 3, A = 0, x01 = y01 = 0 , (8)

    at time t = 0.

    II-2. Multi-dromion solutions driven by curved-line ghost solitons

    Recently, Lou has pointed out that for many (2+1)-dimensional models, a dromion may bedriven not only by straight line solitons [36] but also by curved line solitons [37]. Actually, (3) can

    be rewritten as

    v =QyPx(a1a2)

    2[A1 cosh12(P + Q + C1) + A2 cosh

    12(P Q + C2)]2

    , (9)

    where P and Q are related to p and q by p = b1 exp(P), q = b2 exp(Q) and

    A1 =

    A(a1b1 + a2b2 + Ab1b2), A2 =

    (a1 + Ab2)(a2 + Ab1),

    C2 = lna1 + Ab2a2 + Ab2

    , C1 = lnA

    a1b1 + a2b2 + Ab1b2,

    with arbitrary constants b1 and b2.

    Hence the general multi-dromion solutions of the model expressed by (3) (or equivalently(9)) are driven by two sets of straight-line solitons and some curved-line solitons. The first set ofstraight-line solitons appears in the factor Qy. One can take

    Qy =Ni=1

    Qi(y yi0) , (10)

    where Qi = Qi(y yi0) denotes a straight-line soliton which is finite at the line y = yi0 anddecays rapidly away from the line. Similarly, the second set of straight-line solitons appears in thefactor Px. Finally, the curved-line solitons are determined by the factors A1 cosh(P + Q + C1) andA2 cosh(PQ + C2) of (9) and the curves are determined by

    P + Q + C1 = min(P + Q + C1), PQ + C2 = min(P Q + C2) , (11)while the number of curved-line solitons is determined by the branches of the equations in (11). Thedromions are located at the cross points and/or the closed points of the straight and curved lines.

    II-3. Multi-lump solutionsIt is also known that in high dimensions, like the KP and DSII equations, a special type oflocalized structure (called lump solutions) may also be formed by rational functions. Actually, themulti-lump solutions of (2+1)-dimensional integrable models can be found by taking the appropriatearbitrary functions.

    For the GNNV system, if we select the functions p and q of (3) to be rational functionssatisfying the conditions

    p > 0, q > 0, x, y, t (13)and a1 > 0, a2 > 0, A > 0, then we can obtain the nonsingular localized lump solutions. In Figure4, we plot a special lump solution (3) with

    II-4. Oscillating dromion solutions

    If some periodic functions in the space variables are included in the functions p and q , wemay obtain some types of multi-dromion solutions with oscillating tails. The oscillating dromionsolution in Fig. 5 is related to

    p = 1 + exp ((x v1t) cos(2(x v1t)) + 5/4), q = exp(y v2t), (16)a1 = a2 = 10, A = 1, t = 0.

    II-5. Ring soliton solutions

    In high dimensions, in addition to the point-like localized coherent excitations, there may besome other types of physically significant localized excitation. For instance, in the (2+1)-dimensionalcases, there may be some types of ring soliton solutions which are not identically equal to zero onsome closed curves and decay exponentially away from the closed curves [2628, 30]. In Figures 6and 7, we plot the interaction property of a travelling two saddle type of ring soliton solution withthe selection

    p = 1 + exp (x cos(2x) + 5/4), q = exp(y), a1 = a2 = 10, A = 1. (17)

Tosee more clearly the completely elastic interaction properties between the two travelling ring solitonsolutions, two counter plots related to Figure 6(a) and Figure 6(e) are plotted in Figure 7.

    II-6. Multi-breather like soliton solutions

    In (1+1)-dimensional cases, the breather solutions are another important type of nonlinearexcitations. Because of the arbitrariness that appeared in the functions p and q of (3), the breathersolutions to the (2+1)-dimensional models may also have quite rich structures. On the one hand,any (1+1)-dimensional breather solution of the (1+1)-dimensional integrable models (like the sine-Gordon model and the nonlinear Schrodinger equation) can be used to construct a breather solutionof the higher dimensional models, say the GNNV system. In Figure 8, the well known breathersolution

    p = 4 arctan

    1 2 sin(t)

    cosh

    1 2x

    , (18)

    of the sine-Gordon model, pxx ptt = sinp, is taken as the function p of (3), while q is taken asq = exp(y) (19)

    with the parameters = 1/2, a1 = a2 = 10, A = 1. On the other hand, one can put any periodicfunctions of t into the localized excitations, as shown in the above examples 15, to construct moreinteresting new breather-like solutions. Fig. 9 shows the evolution behavior of a breather-like ringsoliton solution given by (5) with

    p = exp 110 (x 20 sin(t))2 + 5(1.1 + sin(t)) ,

    q = expy2

    10 5 + sin(t)

    , a1 = a2 = 1, A = 0.(20)

    From Figs. 9a9e, we can see that the breather-like ring soliton solution can breath in somedifferent ways, in particular, it can breath not only in its amplitude but also in its shape (like theradius of the loop), and the position.

    II-7. Multiple instanton solution.

    If some types of decaying functions of the time t are included in the solution (3), then we canfind some types of instanton solutions. In Figure 10, the behavior of a special ring type of instantonsolution (3) with

    is exhibited. From Fig. 10a and Fig. 10b, we can see that the amplitude of the ring type of instantonsolution (3) with (21) decays rapidly from |v| 1 to |v| 109 as the time increases from t = 0 tot = 10.

    III. SOME SPECIAL FRACTAL LOCALIZED COHERENT SOLITON STRUCTURES OFTHE (2+1)-DIMENSIONAL GNNV SYSTEM

    III-1. Regular fractal dromions and lumps with self-similar structures.

    It is known that in (2+1)-dimensions one of the most important basic excitations are the socalled dromions, which are exponentially localized in all directions. In [28], the authors found thatmany lower-dimensional piecewise smooth functions with fractal structure can be used to constructexact localized solutions of higher-dimensional soliton systems which also possess fractal structures.This situation also occurs in the (2+1)-dimensional GNNV system. With appropriately selected

    arbitrary functions p and q, we were surprised to find that some special types of fractal dromionsfor the potential v (3) can be revealed. For example, if we take

    p = 1 + exp(x(x + sin(ln(x2)) + cos(ln(x2)))), (22)

    q = 1 + exp(y(y + sin(ln(y2)) + cos(ln(y2)))), (23)with a1 = a2 = 1, A = 2, then we can obtain a simple fractal dromion. Figure 11(a) shows a plotof this special type of fractal dromion structure for the potential v given by (3) with the conditions(22-23). Figure 11(b) is a density plot of the fractal structure of the dromion in the region {x=[-0.016, 0.016], y=[-0.016, 0.016]}. To observe the self-similar structure of the fractal dromion moreclearly, one may enlarge a small region near the center of Figure 11(b). For instance, if we reducethe region in Figure 11(b) to

    {x=[-0.0032, 0.0032], y=[-0.0032, 0.0032]

    },{

    x=[-0.000138, 0.000138],y=[-0.000138, 0.000138]}, {x=[-0.000006, 0.000006], y=[-0.000006, 0.000006]} and so on, we find astructure totally similar to that presented in Figure 11(b).

    It is also known that in high dimensions, such as the KP equations, the NNV equationsand the ANNV equations, a special type of localized structure, which is called the lump solution(algebraically localized in all directions), is formed by rational functions. These localized coherentsoliton structures are another type of significant localized excitation. If the functions p and q of

    with a1 = a2 = 1, A = 2. From Figure 12(a), we can see that the solution is localized in alldirections. Near the center there are infinitely many peaks which are distributed in a fractal manner.In order to investigate the fractal structure of the lump, we must look at the structure more carefully.Figure 12(b) presents a density plot of the structure of the fractal lump at the region {x=[-0.016,0.016], y=[-0.016, 0.016]}. A more detailed study shows us the interesting self-similar structure ofthe lump. For example, if we reduce the region of Figure 12(b) to {x=[-0.0032, 0.0032], y=[-0.0032,0.0032]}, {x=[-0.00066, 0.00066], y=[-0.00066, 0.00066] }, {x=[-0.000028, 0.000028], y=[-0.000028,0.000028]} and so on, we find structure totally similar to that plotted in Figure 12( b).

    IV. SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION

    In summary, with the help of the Backlund transformation and the variable separation ap-proach, a (2+1)-dimensional GNNV system is solved. The abundant localized coherent soliton

    structures of the solution (3), such as multi-dromion, multi-ring, multi-lump solutions, breathersand instantons etc., can be constructed by selecting the appropriate arbitrary functions.In addition to these stable localized coherent soliton structures, we find some new localized

    excitationsthe fractal dromion and lump solutions for the (2+1)-dimensional GNNV system shownin Figures 11(b) and 12(b). As is known, fractals not only belong to the realms of mathematics andcomputer graphics, but also exist nearly everywhere in nature, such as in tree branching, leaves,coastlines, fluid turbulence, crystal growth patterns, human veins, fern shapes, galaxy clustering,cloud structures and in numerous other examples. By selecting different types of lower-dimensionalfractal models, one may obtain various beautiful higher dimensional fractal patterns. These beautifulpictures may be useful in architecture, costume design, and so on. In the future, perhaps the mostfamous artists will also be the most famous physicists and/or mathematicians, because paintings willbe produced not by brushes, but by mathematical expressions. Generally, fractals are the oppositeto solitons in nonlinear science, since solitons are trepresentatives of an integrable system, whilefractals represent non-integrable systems. However, in this paper, we found some fractal structuresfor dromion and lump solutions for the (2+1)-dimensional GNNV model. Naturally, as pointed outin [28], the question of what on earth the integrability definition is, weighs on people mind, as doesthe question of how to find and make use of this novel phenomena in reality.

    Even though some issues baffle us, we believe that the variable separation approach is usefuland powerful and can be used in other (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear physical models. Additionalapplications of this method to other (2+1)-dimensional physical models, and the properties of themultiple localized coherent excitations, especially excitations with fractal behaviors, are worthy offurther study.
