In this paper, we study two types of genuinely nonlinear K(n, n) equations and a generalized KP equation. By developing a mathematical method based on the reduction of order of nonlinear differential equations, we derive general formulas for the travelling wave solutions of the three equations. The

✦ Synopsis
Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equations arise generically in modelling nonlinear wave propagation for primarily unidirectional long waves of small amplitude with weak transverse dependence. In the case when transverse dispersion is positive (such as for water waves with large surface tension) we investigate the existence of transversely modulated travelling waves near one-dimensional solitary waves. Using bifurcation theory we show the existence of a unique branch of periodically modulated solitary waves. Then, we briefly discuss the case when the transverse dispersion is negative (such as for water waves with zero surface tension). 0 Academic des Sciences/Elsevier, Paris Ondes progressives & modulations transverses des gquations de Kadomtsev-Petviashvili RCsumC. Les iquations de Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) se trouvent g&nCriquement dans la mode'lisation de la propagation des ondes non linkaires pour des ondes longues, de petite amplitude, essentiellement unidirectionnelles avec dkpendance transverse faible. Dans le cas oii la dispersion trunsverse est positive (comme pour les vagues avec une forte tension superjicielle), nous ktudions l'existence des ondes progressives ir modulations transverses proches d'une onde solitaire unidimensionnelle. En utilisant lu thkorie des bifurcations, nous montrons l'existence d'une unique branche d'ondes solitaires k modulations pe'riodiques.
