Abstract
The mapping and projective method is extended to investigate a nonlinear (2 + 1)-dimensional coupled breaking system by introducing expansion and nonlinear transformation, and some exact propagating solutions with variable separation are constructed for the system. The propagating solitons are first observed by setting properly the arbitrary functions in the solutions. The different forms of multi-soliton evolution with Weierstrass p function could be achieved.
Introduction
In recent years, many researchers have studied solitons and other structures with chaotic evolvements in nonlinear equations via the variable separation method.1–7 Using linear variable separation and mapping method, Chen et al. 1 and some researchers have realized variable separation for some (3 + 1)-dimensional systems, such as Jimbo–Miwa system. Multiple soliton solution and chaotic behaviors of (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton (BS) equation were introduced by Lei et al. 8 L-H Jiang et al. 9 have studied soliton solutions and its evolvements for the (3 + 1)-dimensional Burgers system. However, these so-called new solutions in the literature6,7,10–20 also depend on each other and the effective solution is identical to the universal formula, and the (2 + 1)-dimensional BS system is defined as follows
Equation (1) describes the cross interaction of wave propagating along the x-axis and y-axis. It seems to have been investigated extensively where overlapping solutions have been derived.
The mapping and variable separation method is extended to investigate a nonlinear (2 + 1)-dimensional coupled breaking system in this article. Some exact propagating solutions with variable separation are constructed for the system. By setting properly the arbitrary functions in the solutions, the propagating solitons are observed first and the different forms of multi-soliton evolution with Weierstrass p function are used. The shape of soliton changes with different parameters.

Conclusion
This article has described the mapping and variable separation method to investigate a nonlinear (2 + 1)-dimensional coupled breaking system. By setting properly the arbitrary functions in the solutions, the different forms of multi-soliton evolution with Weierstrass p function are obtained. The shape of soliton changes with different parameters, and the simulation results verify the flexibility of its operation. And the derived analytical expressions of its multi-soliton can be used in the development of fiber communication system. The potential application of multi-soliton will be of great interest in future research in consideration of its unique evolution characteristics.
