New exact homoclinic wave and periodic wave solutions for the Ginzburg-Landau equation

New exact solutions including homoclinic wave and periodic wave solutions for the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation are obtained using the auxiliary function method and the -expansion method, respectively. The solutions are expressed by the hyperbolic functions and the trigonometric functions. There result shows that there exists a kink wave solution which tends to one and the same periodic wave solution as time tends to infinite.
