Soliton solutions of the nonlinear dynamics in the Boussinesq equation with bifurcation analysis and chaos

In this study, we examined the nonlinear dynamics of the Boussinesq equation, a foundational equation in ocean engineering to model and investigate the behavior of waves in shallow water. The novel (G'/G²)-expansion method was employed to obtain different soliton solutions, including periodic, bright, W-type, and bell-shaped soliton solutions. These solutions are illustrated through 2D, 3D, and contour plots. We discovered different dynamical behavior, including periodic, quasi-periodic, and weak chaos, depending on the choice of initial conditions and parameters. The important outcomes included the detection of multistable attractors and the presence of weak chaotic behavior supported by Lyapunov exponents. These understandings have important effects in practical uses such as energy harvesting and wave control in ocean systems, where handling and understanding system transitions and stability is crucial. These findings also give a framework for further examination of stability and control in nonlinear wave systems.
