In this work, the (2+1)-dimensional Date–Jimbo–Kashiwara–Miwa (DJKM) equation is studied by means of the $\bar{{\boldsymbol{\partial }}}$-dressing method. A new $\bar{{\boldsymbol{\partial }}}$ problem has been constructed by analyzing the characteristic function and the Green's function of its Lax representation. Based on solving the $\bar{\partial }$ equation and choosing the proper spectral transformation, the solution of the DJKM equation is constructed. Furthermore, the more general solution of the DJKM equation can be also obtained by ensuring the evolution of the time spectral data.

1. Introduction
Nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) have been widely studied as integrable models that can describe some nonlinear phenomena and analyze various properties in different fields, such as plasma physics, fluid, solid-state materials and nonlinear optics. It is always an important research topic when finding a method to solve integrable models extensively.
With the in-depth study of nonlinear systems, there have been many mature methods to study the important properties of nonlinear systems. such as Darboux transformation [1, 2], Hirota bilinear method [3–5], Bäcklund transformation [6, 7], Riemann–Hilbert method [8–13], Painlevé analysis [14, 15] and algebra-geometric method [16, 17]. These methods have made great contributions to the study of nonlinear system solutions, integrability, symmetry, scattering problems and long time asymptotic behavior, etc.
However, we still need a more straightforward, efficient and unified approach. Among them, the Riemann–Hilbert method and the
$\bar{\partial }$
-dressing method have wide applicability in soliton decomposition and the study of new solutions to equations. But sometimes in the study of partial differential equations (PDEs), by analyzing the analytic properties of Green's function and eigenfunction, we find that when the analytic properties of Green's function and eigenfunction of the equation in the same plane are inconsistent, it is difficult to obtain the solution of the equation by local Riemann–Hilbert method. This is where the
$\bar{\partial }$
-dressing method shows its superiority. The
$\bar{\partial }$
-dressing method proposed by Zakharov and Shabat [18] is a remarkable method for investigating spectral problems and soliton solutions of NLEEs. Although other methods can also be used for that aim, the
$\bar{\partial }$
-dressing method is the most succinct and clear way to the final results. In recent years, the
$\bar{\partial }$
-dressing method has been applied to different types of equations successfully such as Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation with integrable boundary [19], coupled Gerdjikov-Ivanon (GI) equation [20], (2+1)-dimensional Sawada–Kotera (SK) equation [21] etc. In addition, the $\bar{\partial }$-dressing method also has excellent performance in studying the long-time asymptotic behavior of solutions, and many scholars have made a lot of achievements recently. Borghese et al obtained asymptotic expansion in any fixed space-time cone for the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation in the solitonic region [22]; Jenkins et al studied the soliton resolution of the derivative NLS equation for generic initial data in a weighted Soblev space [23]; Wang and Fan studied the defocusing NLS equation with nonzero background and analyzed the large-time asymptotic in a solitonless region and two transition regions, respectively [24, 25].
In the present paper, we mainly consider the following (2+1)-dimensional Date–Jimbo–Kashiwara–Miwa (DJKM) equation [26]:
This equation can be constructed via the bilinear equation of the KP hierarchy [27] and has been proved integrable. The Lax pair and the infinite conservation laws of equation (1.1) have been studied. The integrability and multi-shock wave solutions of the DJKM equation are studied utilizing the Bell polynomials scheme, the Hirota bilinear method, and symbolic computation [28]. However, to our knowledge, there is still no research work on the DJKM equation using the
$\bar{\partial }$
-dressing method.
This paper is organized as follows: In section 2, we derived the Green's function and the characteristic function of the (2+1)-dimensional DJKM equation, and the corresponding spectral problem is obtained. In section 3, we obtained the scattering equation and the
$\bar{\partial }$
problem of the DJKM equation by using the inverse scattering transformation. In section 4, the inverse spectral problem, the characteristic function of time development, and the solution of equation (1.1) are obtained, respectively. Finally, the conclusions and discussions have been given in section 5.
2. Characteristic function and Green' function
Firstly, we will introduce the $\bar{\partial }$-dressing method and its necessary notations briefly. Consider a matrix $\bar{\partial }$ problem
By studying equations (2.3) and (2.4), we can obtain the spectral problem and evolutionary equation hierarchy of (2+1)-dimensional integrable system, but in this paper, we will not discuss this. In this section, through the Fourier transformation and inverse spectral transformation, we will consider the DJKM equation's characteristic function and Green's function of the Lax representation. As we know, the Lax pair of equation (1.1) can be rewritten as the following linear system
which is called the Jost solution and parameter z is an arbitrary. In order to introduce the Lax pair with z as the spectral parameter, we can make a transformation
For the zero potential solution u(x, y) = 0, we can choose two linearly independent solutions M0 = 1, ${N}_{0}={e}^{-2{\rm{i}}{z}_{1}(x+2{z}_{2}y)}$ of the characteristic function, where z = z1 + z2 is complex. Then the two characteristic functions corresponding to the general potential can be expressed as
When $y-y^{\prime} \gt 0$, we make a sufficiently large semicircle in the upper half plane CRη = Reiθ, R > ∣η1∣, 0 ≤ θ ≤ π, then [−R, R] ∪ CR forms a closed curve with the counterclockwise direction. If η1 is in the upper half plane, the η1 is inside the curve, and if η1 is in the lower half plane, the integrand is analytic in the curve, then by making use of residue theorem, we can obtain
where H( · ) is the Heaviside function. Similarly, when $y-y^{\prime} \lt 0$, we can also write the following expression of $g(\xi ,y-y^{\prime} ,z)$
Obviously, the above Green's function is analytic in the z − plane and has no jump across the real axis, but the functions M and N are not analytic in the same plane, so we need to use the $\bar{\partial }$-dressing method instead of the local RH method to solve the inverse scattering problem of the DJKM equation.
3. Scattering equation and $\bar{\partial }$-problem
Firstly, we consider the $\bar{\partial }$ derivative of the characteristic function equation (2.14) as follows:
Assuming that the corresponding homogeneous integral equation has only a trivial solution, we can obtain the scattering equation in the following form of the linear $\bar{\partial }$ problem
where z = z1 + iz2, $\bar{z}={z}_{1}-{\rm{i}}{z}_{2}$. Making a pair of transformation ξ − 2z1 → s, η − 4z1z2 → m, we can get the symmetry of Green's function
By comparing the order of O(z−1) and using the properties of the Dirac delta function, the Fourier transformation and the Fourier inverse transformation, we can derive equation (2.16) as follows
In order to determine the temporal evolution of scattering data F(z1, z2, t), substituting equation (2.7) into equation (3.11), it is intuitive to find that
where the F(z1, z2) has been shown as equation (3.4).
5. Conclusion
In this paper, we proposed a new systematical solution procedure of the (2+1)-dimensional DJKM equation. Via the $\bar{\partial }$-dressing method, we first introduced the characteristic function and Green's function of the DJKM equation, respectively. Secondly, the $\bar{\partial }$ problem, scattering equation and inverse spectral problem of the DJKM equation have been presented. The $\bar{\partial }$ -dressing method can solve the problem that the local RH method has difficulty solving when the analytic properties of Green's function and eigenfunction are inconsistent. After determining the time evolution, we can apply the $\bar{\partial }$-dressing method to formalize the construction of the new solution of the (2+1)-dimensional DJKM equation.
When the $\bar{\partial }$ -dressing method is used to study the solution of the equations, we find that for the (1+1)-dimensional integrable systems, the $\bar{\partial }$ -dressing method can get the n-soliton solution of the system easily, but for most (2+1)-dimensional integrable systems like the one in this paper, it is worth mentioning that the solution proposed in this paper is the formal solution of the equation. At present, we cannot reduce this kind of solution to special solutions such as soliton solutions. We will consider this possibility in future research work.
