The publication of this note unfortunately contained three errors. The author apologizes for any confusions this may have caused.

The first error is that \(\eta (x,y,t)\) appears in (50). The solution to the complex KP equation should be u(xyt) and not \(\eta (x,y,t)\).

The second error is that the definition of the function

$$\begin{aligned} \phi (\lambda ,x,y,t)=\lambda x+\lambda ^2y + \lambda ^3 t \end{aligned}$$

on the lines following equations (21) and (49) leads to solutions to the scaling

$$\begin{aligned} (4u_t+6uu_x-u_{xxx})_x - 3u_{yy} =0 \end{aligned}$$

of the complex KP equation. To produce solutions to the scaling

$$\begin{aligned} (4u_t-6uu_x+u_{xxx})_x + u_{yy} = 0 \end{aligned}$$

used in this note a valid definition of \(\phi \) is

$$\begin{aligned} \phi (\lambda ,x,y,t) = \lambda x + \sqrt{3}\lambda ^2 y - \lambda ^3 t. \end{aligned}$$

When this scaling is used \(t_2=\sqrt{3}y\) and \(t_3=-t\) in (52).

The third error is that the terms

$$\begin{aligned} -\kappa _nx+ \kappa _n^3 t, \; -sx+s^3t, \text { and } sx-s^3 t \end{aligned}$$

appearing in (38), (42), and (43) respectively should be

$$\begin{aligned} -2\kappa _n x+2 \kappa _n^3 t, \; -2sx+2s^3t, \text { and } 2sx-2s^3 t \end{aligned}$$

respectively to produce solutions to the scaling

$$\begin{aligned} 4u_t-6uu_x+u_{xxx} = 0 \end{aligned}$$

of the KdV equation used in this note.
