Travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial equations by using the first integral method

In this paper, the first integral method is employed for constructing the new exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. The power of this manageable method is confirmed by applying it for two selected nonlinear partial equations. This approach can also be applied to other systems of nonlinear differential equations.     

Symmetry Reductions, Integrability and Solitary Wave Solutions to High-Order Modified Boussinesq Equations with Damping Term

Both the direct method due to Clarkson and Kruskal and the improved direct method due to Lou are extended to reduce the high-order modified Boussinesq equation with the damping term (HMBEDT) arising in the general Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model. As a result, several types of similarity reductions are obtained. It is easy to show that the nonlinear wave equation is not integrable under the sense of AblowRz‘s conjecture from the reduction results obtained. In addition, kink-shaped solitary wave solutions, which are of important physical significance, are found for HMBEDT based on the obtained reduction equation.``
