New exact travelling wave solutions for the Kawahara and modified Kawahara equations

By using the solutions of an auxiliary ordinary differential equation, a direct algebraic method is described to construct the exact travelling wave solutions for nonlinear evolution equations. By this method the Kawahara and the modified Kawahara equations are investigated and new exact travelling wave solutions are explicitly obtained with the aid of symbolic computation.     

New type of travelling wave solutions

We study the existence of combustion waves for an autocatalytic reaction in the non‐adiabatic case. Based on the fact that the reaction system has canard solutions separating the slow combustion regime from the explosive one, we prove by applying the geometric theory of singularly perturbed differential equations the existence of a new type of travelling waves solutions, the so‐called canard travelling waves.

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.     

Dynamical survey of a generalized-Zakharov equation and its exact travelling wave solutions

We investigate the dynamical behavior of a generalized-Zakharov equation for the complex envelope of the high-frequency wave and the real low-frequency field by analyzing its phase portraits. Following a dynamical system approach, in different parameter regions, we depict phase portraits of a travelling wave system. Through discussing the bifurcation of phase portraits, we unwrap explicit miscellaneous travelling waves including localized and periodic ones.     

Kinks and travelling wave solutions for Burgers-like equations

New exact travelling wave solutions of some complex nonlinear equations

In this paper, we establish exact solutions for complex nonlinear equations. The tanh–coth and the sine–cosine methods are used to construct exact periodic and soliton solutions of these equations. Many new families of exact travelling wave solutions of the coupled Higgs and Maccari equations are successfully obtained. These solutions may be important of significance for the explanation of some practical physical problems.

A series of abundant exact travelling wave solutions for a modified generalized Vakhnenko equation using auxiliary equation method

In this paper, a series of abundant exact travelling wave solutions is established for a modified generalized Vakhnenko equation by using auxiliary equation method. These solutions can be expressed by Jacobi elliptic function. When Jacobi elliptic functions modulus m→1 or 0, the travelling wave solutions degenerate to four types of solutions, namely, the soliton solutions, the hyperbolic function solutions, the trigonometric function solutions, constant solutions.

A note on new exact solutions for the Kawahara equation using Exp-function method

Exact solutions of the Kawahara equation by Assas [L.M.B. Assas, New Exact solutions for the Kawahara equation using Exp-function method, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 233 (2009) 97-102] are analyzed. It is shown that all solutions do not satisfy the Kawahara equation and consequently all nontrivial solutions by Assas are wrong.     

Exact travelling wave solutions of the generalized Bretherton equation

We search for exact travelling wave solutions of the generalized Bretherton equation for integer, greater than one, values of the exponent m of the nonlinear term by two methods: the truncated Painlevé expansion method and an algebraic method. We find periodic solutions for m=2 and m=5, to add to those already known for m=3; in all three cases these solutions exist for finite intervals of the wave velocity. We also find a “kink” shaped solitary wave for m=5 and a family of elementary unbounded solutions for arbitrary m.     

New exact solutions to breaking soliton equations and Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations

In this paper, by using the improved Riccati equations method, we obtain several types of exact traveling wave solutions of breaking soliton equations and Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations. These explicit exact solutions contain solitary wave solutions, periodic wave solutions and the combined formal solitary wave solutions. The method employed here can also be applied to solve more nonlinear evolution equations.     

New exact travelling wave solutions of two nonlinear physical models

In this paper, an improved tanh function method is used with a computerized symbolic computation for constructing new exact travelling wave solutions on two nonlinear physical models namely, the quantum Zakharov equations and the (2+1)-dimensional Broer–Kaup–Kupershmidt (BKK) system. The main idea of this method is to take full advantage of the Riccati equation which has more new solutions.The exact solutions are obtained which include new soliton-like solutions, trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions. The method is straightforward and concise, and its applications are promising.

New exact travelling wave solutions using modified extended tanh-function method

Based on computerized symbolic computation and modified extended tanh-function method for constructing a new exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations (NEEs) is presented and implemented in a computer algebraic system. Applying this method, with the aid of Maple, we consider some (NEEs) with mathematical physics interests. As a results, we can successfully recover the previously known solitary wave solutions that had been found by the tanh-function method and other more sophisticated methods.     

Solitary wave solutions of the one-dimensional Boussinesq equations

In this paper we derive an analytical solution of the one-dimensional Boussinesq equations, in the case of waves relatively long, with small amplitudes, in water of varying depth. To derive the analytical solution we first assume that the solution of the model has a prescribed wave form, and then we obtain the wave velocity, the wave number and the wave amplitude. Finally a specific application for some realistic values of wave parameters is given and a graphical presentation of the results is provided.
