Exact periodic kink-wave and degenerative soliton solutions for potential Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

Exact periodic kink-wave solution, periodic soliton and doubly periodic solutions for the potential Kadomtsev–Petviashvii (PKP) equation are obtained using homoclinic test technique and extended homoclinic test technique, respectively. It is investigated that periodic soliton is degenerated into doubly periodic wave varying with direction of wave propagation.
