Traveling wave solutions for the mKdV equation and the Gardner equations by new approach of the generalized (G′/G)-expansion method

In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the new generalized (G′/G)-expansion method by seeking more exact solutions via the mKdV equation and the Gardner equations. The method is direct, concise and simple to implement compared to other existing methods. The traveling wave solutions obtained by this method are expressed in terms of hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational functions. The method shows a wide application for handling nonlinear wave equations. Moreover, the method reduces the large amount of calculations.     

New generalized and improved (G′/G)-expansion method for nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics

In this article, new extension of the generalized and improved (G′/G)-expansion method is proposed for constructing more general and a rich class of new exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. To demonstrate the novelty and motivation of the proposed method, we implement it to the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. The new method is oriented toward the ease of utilize and capability of computer algebraic system and provides a more systematic, convenient handling of the solution process of nonlinear equations. Further, obtained solutions disclose a wider range of applicability for handling a large variety of nonlinear partial differential equations.     

Soliton solutions of shallow water wave equations by means of G′/G expansion method

In this work, we investigate the traveling wave solutions for some generalized nonlinear equations: The generalized shallow water wave equation and the Whitham-Broer-Kaup model for dispersive long waves in the shallow water small-amplitude regime. We use the $G'/G$ expansion method to determine different soliton solutions of these models. The conditions of existence and uniqueness of exact solutions are also presented.     

Traveling wave solutions of advection–diffusion equations with nonlinear diffusion

We study the existence of particular traveling wave solutions of a nonlinear parabolic degenerate diffusion equation with a shear flow. Under some assumptions we prove that such solutions exist at least for propagation speeds c∈]_c?,+∞[$c\in ]c_{?},+\infty [$, where _c?>0$c_{?}>0$ is explicitly computed but may not be optimal. We also prove that a free boundary hypersurface separates a region where u=0$u=0$ and a region where u>0$u>0$, and that this free boundary can be globally parametrized as a Lipschitz continuous graph under some additional non-degeneracy hypothesis; we investigate solutions which are, in the region u>0$u>0$, planar and linear at infinity in the propagation direction, with slope equal to the propagation speed.     

The （G＇/G, 1/G）-expansion method and its application to travelling wave solutions of the Zakharov equations

The （G＇/G, 1/G）-expansion method for finding exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations, which can be thought of as an extension of the （G＇/G）-expansion method proposed recently, is presented. By using this method abundant travelling wave so- lutions with arbitrary parameters of the Zakharov equations are successfully obtained. When the parameters are replaced by special values, the well-known solitary wave solutions of the equations are rediscovered from the travelling waves.     

Comment on: The (G′/G)-expansion method for the nonlinear lattice equations [Commun Nonlinear Sci Numer Simulat 17 (2012) 3490–3498]

We show that two of the nonlinear lattice equations studied by Ayhan & Bekir [Commun Nonlinear Sci Numer Simulat 17 (2012) 3490–3498] have already been investigated by Aslan [Commun Nonlinear Sci Numer Simulat 15 (2010) 1967–1973] using an improved version of the same method. The solutions obtained by the latter one include the solutions obtained by the former one.

Cnoidal and snoidal wave solutions to coupled nonlinear wave equations by the extended Jacobi’s elliptic function method

This paper studies two nonlinear coupled evolution equations. They are the Zakharov equation and the Davey–Stewartson equation. These equations are studied by the aid of Jacobi’s elliptic function expansion method and exact periodic solutions are extracted. In addition, the Zakharov equation with power law nonlinearity is solved by traveling wave hypothesis.     

Traveling wave solutions of diffusive Hindmarsh–Rose-type equations with recurrent neural feedback

From the perspective of bifurcation theory, this study investigates the existence of traveling wave solutions for diffusive Hindmarsh–Rose-type (dHR-type) equations with recurrent neural feedback (RNF). The applied model comprises two additional terms: 1) a diffusion term for the conduction process of action potentials and 2) a delay term. The delay term is introduced because if a neuron excites a second neuron, the second neuron, in turn, excites or inhibits the first neuron. To probe the existence of traveling wave solutions, this study applies center manifold reduction and a normal form method, and the results demonstrate the existence of a heteroclinic orbit of a three-dimensional vector for dHR-type equations with RNF near a fold–Hopf bifurcation. Finally, numerical simulations are presented.     

Traveling wave solutions of the nonlinear Drinfel’d–Sokolov–Wilson equation and modified Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equations

In this paper, the modified simple equation (MSE) method is implemented to find the exact solutions for the nonlinear Drinfel’d–Sokolov–Wilson (DSW) equation and the modified Benjamin–Bona–Mahony (mBBM) equations. The efficiency of this method for constructing these exact solutions has been demonstrated. It is shown that the MSE method is direct, effective and can be used for many other nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) in mathematical physics. Moreover, this technique reduces the large volume of calculations.

Exact travelling wave solutions of the discrete sine–Gordon equation obtained via the exp-function method

In this paper, we generalize the exp-function method, which was used to find new exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs) or coupled nonlinear partial differential equations, to nonlinear differential–difference equations (NDDEs). As an illustration, two series of exact travelling wave solutions of the discrete sine–Gordon equation are obtained by means of the exp-function method. As some special examples, these new exact travelling wave solutions can degenerate into the kink-type solitary wave solutions reported in the open literature.     

Application of the Laplace decomposition method for solving linear and nonlinear fractional diffusion–wave equations

In this paper, the Laplace decomposition method is employed to obtain approximate analytical solutions of the linear and nonlinear fractional diffusion–wave equations. This method is a combined form of the Laplace transform method and the Adomian decomposition method. The proposed scheme finds the solutions without any discretization or restrictive assumptions and is free from round-off errors and therefore, reduces the numerical computations to a great extent. The fractional derivative described here is in the Caputo sense. Some illustrative examples are presented and the results show that the solutions obtained by using this technique have close agreement with series solutions obtained with the help of the Adomian decomposition method.
