The Klein–Gordon–Zakharov equations with the positive fractional power terms and their exact solutions

In this paper, the famous Klein–Gordon–Zakharov (KGZ) equations are first generalized, and the new special types of KGZ equations with the positive fractional power terms (gKGZE) are presented. In order to derive exact solutions of the new special gKGZE, subsidiary higher-order ordinary differential equations (sub-ODEs) with the positive fractional power terms are introduced, and with the aid of the sub-ODE, exact solutions of four special types of the gKGZE are derived, which are the bell-type solitary wave solution, the algebraic solitary wave solution, the kink-type solitary wave solution and the sinusoidal travelling wave solution, provided that the coefficients of gKGZE satisfy certain constraint conditions.     

Comparison between the generalized tanh–coth and the (<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>′/<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>)-expansion methods for solving NPDEs and NODEs

In this paper, we find exact solutions of some nonlinear evolution equations by using generalized tanh–coth method. Three nonlinear models of physical significance, i.e. the Cahn–Hilliard equation, the Allen–Cahn equation and the steady-state equation with a cubic nonlinearity are considered and their exact solutions are obtained. From the general solutions, other well-known results are also derived. Also in this paper, we shall compare the generalized tanh–coth method and generalized (G ^′/G )-expansion method to solve partial differential equations (PDEs) and ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Abundant exact travelling wave solutions including solitons, kink, periodic and rational solutions have been found. These solutions might play important roles in engineering fields. The generalized tanh–coth method was used to construct periodic wave and solitary wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. This method is developed for searching exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. It is shown that the generalized tanh–coth method, with the help of symbolic computation, provides a straightforward and powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear problems.
