Exact Jacobi elliptic solutions of some models for the interaction of long and short waves

Abstract: Some systems were recently put forth by Nguyen et. al. as models for studying the interaction of long and short waves in dispersive media. These systems were shown to possess synchronized Jacobi elliptic solutions as well as synchronized solitary wave solutions under certain constraints, i.e., vector solutions where the two components are proportional to one another. In this paper, the exact periodic traveling wave solutions to these systems in general are found to be given by Jacobi elliptic functions. Moreover, these cnoidal wave solutions are unique. Thus, the explicit synchronized solutions under some conditions obtained by Nguyen et. al. are also indeed unique.
