Note on exact solutions for a class of nonlinear diffusion equations

An effective characterization is given for a class of generalized nonlinear diffusion equations with power law dependent terms. Further, a new auxiliary equation ansatz is derived. Consequently, new exact traveling wave trigonometric function, solitary-like and Weierstrass elliptic solutions to a subclass are obtained by means of an auxiliary equation method and a generalized Riccati equation expansion method.
