Abstract
Lump solutions are one of important solutions to partial differential equations, both linear and nonlinear. This paper aims to show that a Hietarinta-type fourth-order nonlinear term can create lump solutions with second-order linear dispersive terms. The key is a Hirota bilinear form. Lump solutions are constructed via symbolic computations with Maple, and specific reductions of the resulting lump solutions are made. Two illustrative examples of the generalized Hietarinta-type nonlinear equations and their lumps are presented, together with three-dimensional plots and density plots of the lump solutions.
