A note on exact complex travelling wave solutions for (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

The -expansion method can be used for constructing exact travelling wave solutions of real nonlinear evolution equations. In this paper, we improve the -expansion method and explore new application of this method to (2+1)-dimensional B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (BKP) equation. New types of exact complex travelling wave solutions of (2+1)-dimensional BKP equation are found. Some exact solutions of (2+1)-dimensional BKP equation obtained before are special cases of our results in this paper.

A class of exact Pfaffian solutions to a (3+1)-dimensional generalized B-type Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation is obtained. A set of sufficient conditions consisting of systems of linear partial differential equations involving free parameters is generated to guarantee that the Pfaffian solves the equation.

Examples of the Pfaffian solutions are explicitly computed, and a few solutions are plotted.

This paper presents a new algebraic procedure to construct exact solutions of selected nonlinear differential-difference equations. The discrete sine-Gordon equation and differential-difference asymmetric Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov equations are chosen as examples to illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the new procedure, where various types of exact travelling wave solutions for these nonlinear differential-difference equations have been constructed. It is anticipated that the new procedure can also be used to produce solutions for other nonlinear differential-difference equations.     

A note on exact travelling wave solutions for the modified Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations

Exact solutions for the modified Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations by Liu et al. (2010) [Y.F. Liu, X.Y. Zhu, J.X. He, Factorization technique and new exact solutions for the modified Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations, Appl. Math. Comput. 217 (2010) 1658-1665] are investigated. Liu et al. has used the factorization technique to reduce the modified Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations to first-order ordinary differential equations, and then derived some exact travelling wave solutions by direct integral method. In this note, we will explain that the implementation of the so-called factorization technique is completely unnecessary. Moreover, based on the method of complete discrimination system for polynomial, we shall demonstrate that the general explicit exact solution and its classification for the above two types of equations can be obtained directly and many exact solutions by Liu et al. are our special cases. Besides, some known results in previously relevant literatures are extended and some simple remarks are also made.
