Abstract
The \((3+1)\)-dimensional [\((3+1)\)-d] Mel’nikov equation describes an interaction between long-wave and short-wave packets in three-spatial dimensions, which is the coupling of \((3+1)\)-d Kadomtsev–Petviashvili [KP] equation and nonlinear Schrödinger [NLS] equation. In this paper, its \(\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}\)-symmetric version is introduced, and we call it \((3+1)\)-d nonlocal Mel’nikov equation. General soliton solutions, including crossed soliton and parallel soliton, are presented in terms of KP hierarchy reduction method. Furthermore, the semi-rational solutions consisting of lumps and solitons are also constructed. These semi-rational solutions are elastic collision. However, the corresponding semi-rational solution of most nonlocal two-dimensional systems describes the inelastic collision between the lump waves and the solitons under the same conditions. Additionally, a new way to get the rational solution of Mel’nikov equation is given by reducing the semi-rational solution of the \((3+1)\)-d nonlocal Mel’nikov equation. These novel dynamics have never been reported in \((3+1)\)-d nonlocal systems. Moreover, it broadens our research field and inspires us to explore the mysteries of higher-dimensional nonlocal systems.
