In the present paper, some types of general solutions of a first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation with six degree are given and a new generalized algebra method is presented to find more exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations. As an application of the method and the solutions of this equation, we choose the (2 + 1) dimensional Boiti Leon Pempinelli equation to illustrate the validity and advantages of the method. As a consequence, more new types and general solutions are found which include rational solutions and irrational solutions and so on.

In this paper, we extend the Jacobi elliptic function rational expansion method by using a new generalized ansätz. With the help of symbolic computation, we construct more new explicit exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs). We apply this method to a generalized Hirota–Satsuma coupled KdV equations and gain more general solutions. The general solutions not only contain the solutions by the existing Jacobi elliptic function expansion methods but also contain many new solutions. When the modulus of the Jacobi elliptic functions m → 1 or 0, the corresponding solitary wave solutions and triangular functional (singly periodic) solutions are also obtained.

The capability of Extended tanh–coth, sine–cosine and Exp-Function methods as alternative approaches to obtain the analytic solution of different types of applied differential equations in engineering mathematics has been revealed. In this study, the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger (GNLS) equation is solved by three different methods. To obtain the single-soliton solutions for the equation, the Extended tanh–coth and sine–cosine methods are used. Furthermore, for this nonlinear evolution equation the Exp-Function method is applied to derive various travelling wave solution. Results show that while the first two procedures easily provide a concise solution, the Exp-Function method provides a powerful mathematical means for solving nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.
