1. Introduction In the past decades, much effort has been spent on the construction of exact solutions of nonlinear equations for their important role in understanding the nonlinear problems, and there are several systematic approaches to obtain them [1–9]. Besides, the nonlinearization method of Lax pairs (or constrained flow) [10–16], the homogeneous balance method [17–19], the hyperbolic function method [20–23], the Jacobian elliptic function expansion method [24,25] have also been applied to construct exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. Therefore it is an interesting work to find out the new type solution to a nonlinear evolution equations. In this paper, we consider the following (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation,

ð1:1Þ

which is introduced to describe the dynamics of solitons and nonlinear waves in the fields of plasma physics, fluid dynamics, etc. [26]. Eq. (1.1) has been widely studied by many authors and various different exact solutions have been presented [27– 33]. For instance, Wang and Lou have revealed some special type exact solutions in Ref. [27], Bai et al. constructed several new families of exact solutions after applying a generalized variable-coefficient algebraic method to Eq. (1.1) [28], Chen et al. obtained some exact solutions for Eq. (1.1) by using a new generalized transformation in homogeneous balance method [29]. EI-Sayed et al. studied Eq. (1.1) by considering the decomposition scheme and obtained some exact solutions [30]. Hu obtained some traveling wave solutions by applying algebraic method [31]. Liu and Liu derived the similarity solutions by using the compatibility method [32]. Zhao used the extended mapping method to derive a new family of the exact solutions of Eq. (1.1) [33]. The bilinear Bäcklund transformation and some new explicit solutions of Eq. (1.1) are also derived in our recent work [34]. This paper tries to extend the Hirota’s bilinear method and the Riemann theta function [35–39] to (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation, the one- and two-periodic wave solutions for Eq. (1.1) are presented and the rigorous proofs are given that the soliton solutions can be obtained from the periodic wave solutions in an appropriate limiting procedure.

where the l; m; n; r 2 N, to deal with bilinear equation, we use the property of the Hirota’s operator. From the definition, we have the relation

where c is an integration constant generally dependent on time. 2. One-periodic wave solution and asymptotic behavior 2.1. One-periodic wave solution First we consider the case of one-periodic wave solution of Eq. (1.1). We take the one-dimensional Riemann theta function in the form [40] 1 X

From relation (2.4) we can conclude that, if e F ð0Þ and e F ð1Þ are zero, then all the other e F ðmÞ are also zero. On the other hand we recall that we have at least two unknown parameters, namely, arbitrary integration constant c and the nonlinear frequency x even if all the other parameters such as wavevectors p, l, k and amplitude parameter s are taken as arbitrarily given paramF ð0Þ ¼ 0 and e F ð1Þ ¼ 0, eters. Therefore, by solving integration constant c and nonlinear dispersion relation x from the Eqs. e we have exact periodic wave solution to the bilinear equation (1.6).

Therefore, expression (1.5) is the exact one-periodic wave solution of the (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (1.1) with f given by Eq. (2.1) and x by Eq. (2.15). 2.2. Asymptotic behavior of the one-periodic wave solution It is interesting that the one-soliton solution can be obtained from the one-periodic wave solution in an appropriate limiting procedure. To illustrate this we introduce a quantity

q ¼ expðpisÞ;

ð2:17Þ

and take a limit q ? 0 (or Ims ? 1). Theorem 1. In the condition q ? 0 (or Ims ? 1), the one-periodic solution (2.1) of Eq. (1.1) tends to one-soliton solution via Eq. (1.5)

3. Two-periodic wave solution and asymptotic behavior In what follows, we consider the two-periodic wave solution to the (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (1.1), which is a two-dimensional generalization of one-periodic wave solution. 3.1.

Substituting (3.1) into (1.6) and using the property of Eq. (1.4), we have the analogous result to Eq. (2.2).

Theorem 2. Suppose that 1 < r1 < 2, 1 < r2 < 2 are two constants, satisfying jk1 jr1 ! 0 and jk2 jr2 ! 0, then the periodic solution (3.1) of Eq. (1.1) tends to soliton solution via Eq. (1.5)

In the following, we verify the formulae (3.15) and (3.16) hold, to this end, we expand each function in Eqs. (3.9)–(3.12) into a series with k1 and k2. It is slightly tedious, but this process is easily carried out by using symbolic computation software MATHEMATICA or MAPLE. Actually, we only need to make the first order expansions with k1 and k2 to show the asymptotic relations (3.15) and (3.16). Here we consider their second order expansion to see deeper relations among parameters for the two-periodic solution and two-soliton solution. From

4. Conclusion In summary, we have obtained the one-periodic wave solution, two-periodic wave solution and soliton solutions for the (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation by means of the Hirota bilinear method and the Riemann theta function, which belong to the cases when N = 1 and N = 2. This method is valid for quite a few nonlinear evolution equations. For general case when N > 2, the results can be extended, but there are still certain numerical difficulties in the calculation and other aspects, which will be considered in our future work.
