Darboux Transformation and New Multi-Soliton Solutions of the Whitham-Broer-Kaup System

Abstract

Through a variable transformation, the Whitham-Broer-Kaup system is transformed into a parameter Levi system. Based on the Lax pair of the parameter Levi system, the N-fold Darboux transformation with multi-parameters is constructed. Then some new explicit solutions for the Whitham-Broer-Kaup system are obtained via the given Darboux transformation.
