Abstract
In this work, a (2+1)-dimensional generalized Hirota–Satsuma–Ito equation realized to represent the propagation of unidirectional shallow water waves is investigated. We first study the breather wave solutions based on the three-wave method and the bilinear form. Second, the double-periodic soliton solutions are obtained via an undetermined coefficient method, which have not been seen in other literature. We present some illustrative figures to discuss the dynamic properties of the derived waves.
1 Introduction
The Hirota–Satsuma–Ito (HSI) equation emerges in the Jimbo–Miwa classification [1,2,3], which is useful in investigating the propagation of unidirectional shallow water waves [4]. Zhou and Manukure [5] presented the complexiton solutions of the HSI equation by the Hirota bilinear method and the linear superposition principle, and obtained the lump and interaction solutions to the HSI equation via the Hirota direct method [6]. Liu et al. [7] studied the N-soliton and localized wave interaction solutions of the HSI equation. Liu et al. [8] obtained the multi-wave, breather wave, and interaction solutions of the HSI equation based on the three-wave method and the homoclinic breather approach. Saima et al. [9] investigated the multiple rational rogue waves via symbolic computation approach. The aim of this work is to find the breather wave and the double-periodic soliton solutions via the undetermined coefficient method and the three-wave method.
In this article, under investigation is a (2+1)-dimensional generalized HSI equation [5]

3 Double-periodic soliton solutions
In ref. [13], a new ansätz function was proposed to construct double-periodic soliton structures. Subsequently, some important conclusions of nonlinear evolution equation were obtained by the new ansätz function [14,15,16]. According to the idea of refs [12,13,14], the solutions of Eq. (3) can be obtained as follows:
where
Case (1)
Case (2)
Case (3)
Since the formula is too long, see Appendix A for other solutions. By substituting Case (1)–Case (9) into equations (2) and (11), respectively, the corresponding double periodic soliton solutions of Eq. (1) can be derived. In order to understand the dynamic properties of the double periodic soliton solutions, we take the solution corresponding to Case (2) as an example. By selecting different values for parameters in the solution corresponding to Case (2), the dynamic properties are described in Figures 5 and 6.

The dynamic properties for these derived results are demonstrated in Figures 1–6. In Figures 1 and 2, we can observe a periodic breather wave with the change of
