Abstract

This study investigates a generalized Zakharov–Kuznetsov (ZK) equation that incorporates mixed
nonlinearity (quadratic and square-root terms), anisotropic dispersion, linear damping, and external
periodic forcing. The model is motivated by the need to describe nonlinear wave phenomena in dispersive
media, where directional dependence, energy dissipation, and external driving play crucial roles
in applications ranging from space plasma physics to laboratory plasma confinement and nonlinear
optics. Through a traveling wave reduction, the system is transformed into a second-order nonlinear
ODE, enabling comprehensive analysis. The onset of chaotic dynamics is rigorously confirmed using
Melnikov’s method, establishing conditions for transverse homoclinic intersections. We further extend
the new mapping method to derive exact solutions for non-polynomial nonlinearities, overcoming limitations
of classical approaches. Additional exact solutions via Jacobi elliptic functions are constructed
for the quadratic case, providing a complete spectrum of nonlinear waveforms. Numerical simulations
reveal transitions between solitonic behavior, weak chaos, and broadband turbulence across parameter
regimes, with direct implications for understanding wave instability and energy transfer in driven
dissipative systems. These results provide new insights into the complex dynamics of forced-damped
nonlinear systems and represent a significant extension of the classical ZK framework, offering both
analytical advances and practical tools for predicting nonlinear wave behavior in physical applications.
