A fractal variational theory of the Broer-Kaup system in shallow water waves
Weiwei Ling, Pinxia Wu
Abstract
The Broer-Kaup equation is one of many equations describing some phenomena of shallow water wave. There are many errors in scientific research because of the existence of the non-smooth boundaries. In this paper, we generalize the Broer-Kaup equation to the fractal space and establish fractal variational formulations through the semi-inverse method. The acquired fractal variational formulation reveals conservation laws in an energy form in the fractal space and suggests possible solution structures of the morphology of the solitary waves
