Chaotic behaviors in the (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton system

Starting from the extended tanh-function method based on mapping method, the variable separation solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton system are derived. By further studying, we find that these variable separation solutions, which seem independent, actually depend on each other. Based on the derived variable separation solution, chaotic behaviors, i.e. periodic solution with chaotic behavior and chaotic peaked and compact line solitons, are investigated.
