Abstract

In this work, we present a complete dynamical analysis of lump, breather, M-shaped, and other waveforms propagating in a nonlinear PDE governing nonlinear low-pass electrical transmission lines. We utilize the Hirota bilinear transformation approach with the help of Mathematica to report a number of wave solutions, including bright and dark lumps, solitons, breathers, and kink waves, along with their periodic and aperiodic forms. Energy distribution, wave interactions, and changes are presented in the form of 3D, contour, and 2D plots, which demonstrate the nonlinear characteristics that govern the dynamics. These results provide a better understanding of the propagation, stability, and interaction of waveforms which are useful in signal and energy transport and also in the construction of complex nonlinear electric circuits.
