Abstract

In this paper, new GG-expansion method is successfully implemented to find travelling wave solutions for two fifth order strong nonlinear evolution equations whose balance is not positive integers. As a result, some new exact solutions with parameters are obtained. Compared with other methods, this method is direct, concise, effective and easy to calculate, and it is a powerful mathematical tool for obtaining exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations and can be used to solve other nonlinear partial differential equations in mathematical physics.

Introduction

The research area of nonlinear evolution equation has been very active for the past few decades. There are various kinds of nonlinear evolution equations that appear in various areas of physical and mathematical sciences. Much effort has been made on the construction of exact solutions of nonlinear equations, for their important role in the study of nonlinear physical phenomena. Nonlinear wave phenomena appears in various scientific and engineering fields, such as fluid mechanics, plasma physics, optical fibers, biology, solid state physics, chemical kinematics, chemical physics and geochemistry. Nonlinear wave phenomena of dispersion, dissipation, diffusion, reaction and convection are very important in nonlinear wave equation. In recent years, the powerful and efficient methods to find analytic solutions of nonlinear equations have drawn a lot of interest by a diverse group of scientists. Such as tanh-function method [1], [3], homogeneous balance method [1], [2], extended tanh-function method [1], [10], [13], auxiliary equation method [11], [15], Painleve expansion method [2], [3], [9], Jacobi elliptic function method [1], [2], [3], sine–cosine function method [12], Exp-function method [1], [2], [14] and so on were used to develop nonlinear dispersive and dissipative problems.

Recently, Wang et al. [4] proposed the GG-expansion method and showed that it is powerful for finding analytic solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. Next, Bekir [5] applied the method to some nonlinear evolution equations gaining travelling wave solutions. Later, Zhang et al. [6] have generalized the method to obtain non-travelling wave solutions and coefficient function solutions and Zhang et al. [7] further extended the method to solve an evolution equation with variable coefficients.

In this paper, we improved the method of Wang et al. [4] and give a new generalized form as GG-expansion and successfully obtained some new exact solutions of (1 + 1)-dimensional Kundu equation [8], [15] and (1 + 1)-dimensional Schroˇdinger equation [8], [16], [17], [18], [19]. The results show that this method is not only simple, effective and straightforward, but also can be used for many other nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.

Description of the generalized GG-expansion method

In this section we describe the GG-expansion method for finding travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations as follow. For a given nonlinear partial differential equationP(u,ut,ux,uy,uz,,uxt,uyt,uzt,,utt,uxx,uyy,xzz,)=0.

Our method mainly consist four steps:

  • Step 1: We seek complex solutions of Eq. (1) as the following formu(x,y,z,t)=u(ξ),ξ=k1x+k2y+k3z+k4t,

    where kj(j=1,2,3,4) are real constants. Under the transformation (2), Eq. (1) becomes an ordinary differential equationQ(U,U

(1 + 1)-dimensional Kundu equation [8,15]

iut+uxx+β|u|2u+γ|u|4u+iα(|u|2u)x+is(|u|2)xu=0.

We may choose the following travelling wave transformationu(x,t)=ei(φ(ξ)-θt)v(ξ),ξ=x-ωt,where ω,θ are constant determined later. Substituting (7) into (6), we have-ωv+2vφ+vφ+(3α+2s)v2v=0,v(φω+θ)+v-v(φ)2-αv3φ+βv3+γv5=0.

If settingφ=ω2-3α+2s4v2,substituting (10) into (8), (9), we havev+ω24+θv+β-αω2v3+γ+116(3α+2s)(α-2s)v5=0.According to Step 2, we get m=12. Therefore, we can write the solution of Eq. (11) in the formv(ξ)=AGG12,where A is

Conclusions and discussion

A new form of the GG-expansion method has been successfully implemented to find travelling wave solutions of (1 + 1)-dimensional Kundu equation and (1 + 1)-dimensional Schroˇdinger equation in this paper. As a result, some exact travelling wave solutions with parameters c1 and c2 had been obtained, where included some new solutions. The result show that it is also a promising method to solve other nonlinear partial differential equations in mathematical physics. More importantly, this method can
