Fractal localized structures related to Jacobian elliptic functions in the higher-order Broer－Kaup system

This work reveals a novel phenomenon—that the localized coherent structures of a (2﹢1)﹣dimensional physical model possesses fractal behaviours. To clarify the interesting phenomenon, we take the (2﹢1)﹣dimensional higher-order Broer－Kaup system as a concrete example. Starting from a Bäcklund transformation, we obtain a linear equation, and then a general solution of the system is derived. From this some special localized excitations with fractal behaviours are obtained by introducing some types of lower-dimensional fractal patterns that related to Jacobian elliptic functions.
