Abstract
Under investigation is a generalized variable-coefficient Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation with self-consistent sources. Our main job is divided into four parts: (i) lump wave solution, (ii) interaction solutions between lump and solitary wave, (iii) breather wave solution and (iv) interaction solutions between lump and periodic wave. Furthermore, the interaction phenomenon of waves is shown in some 3D- and contour plots.
