Abstract

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the coupled Burgers equation illustrate the status of quantum particles, shock waves, acoustic transmission and traffic flow. Therefore these equations are physically significant in their own right. In this article, the new auxiliary equation method has been contrivanced in order to rummage exact wave solutions to previously stated nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs). We have developed ample soliton solutions and have to do with the physical importance of the acquired solutions by setting the specific values of the embodied parameters through portraying figures and deciphered the physical phenomena. It has been established that the executed method is powerful, skilled to examine NLEEs, compatible to computer algebra and provides further general wave solutions. Thus, the investigation of exact solutions to other NLEES through the new auxiliary method is prospective and deserves further research.

1. Introduction

Intricate phenomena habitually turn into nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs). Therefore, the study of NLEEs has sustained to attract much attention in the recent years. Amazingly, the nonlinear phenomena can be investigated by procedures which are interesting and rationally elementary and has a significant impact on both theory and phenomenology. The exact solutions to nonlinear evolution equations are the important tool to comprehend the various physical events which govern the actual world nowadays. Exact solutions plays a significant role in the study of nonlinear physical phenomena in many fields, such as, water wave mechanics, meteorology, electromagnetic theory, plasma physics, solid-state physics, chemical kinematics, optical fiber, nonlinear optics, biochemistry, mathematical chemistry, mathematical physics etc. Therefore, in the past several decades, many scientists and researchers raced to discover good and new methods for solving NLEEs which are important to explain essential nonlinear problems. For example of these methods, the Hirota's bilinear transformation method (Zhou and Ma 2017), the Backlund transform method (Arnous et al 2015), the inverse scattering method (Ablowitz and Musslimani 2016), the first integral method (Tascan and Bekir 2010), the exp-function method (Ma et al 2010), the tanh-function method (Bekir 2009, Abdel et al 2011), the Jacobi elliptic function method (Ma et al 2018), the $\left(G^{\prime} /G\right)$-expansion method (Bekir and Guner 2013; Bekir and Cevikel 2009), the extended $\left(G^{\prime} /G\right)$-expansion method (Roshid et al 2014, Alam and Belacem 2015), the improved $\left(G^{\prime} /G\right)$-expansion method (Redi et al 2018), the new generalized $\left(G^{\prime} /G\right)$-expansion method (Alam 2015, Alam and Stepanyants 2016, Alam and Li 2019), the generalized and improved $\left(G^{\prime} /G\right)$-expansion method(Akbar et al 2012a, 2012b). The Weierstrass elliptic function method (Ping and Li 2008), the truncated Painleve expansion method (Radha et al 2007), the functional variable method (Khan and Akbar 2014), the $\exp (-\varphi (\xi ))$-expansion method (Alam and Belacem 2016; Khater 2016, Alam and Tunc 2016, Alam and Alam 2017), the modified simple equation method (Roshid and Roshid 2018), the auxiliary equation method (Kaplan et al 2015, Akbulut et al 2016), the rational exponential function method (Roshid and Alam 2017), the homotopy perturbation method (Javeed et al 2019), the Riccati equation mapping method (Naher et al 2013), the $(G^{\prime} /G,1/G)$-expansion method (Kaplan et al 2016), etc.

To date, much work has been done by many researchers on solution of so many physically significant nonlinear evolution equations. In this article, we introduce and execute a method named the new auxiliary equation method for constructing analytical soliton solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the coupled Burgers equation which are important NLEEs to comprehend the phenomena: quantum particles, shock waves, acoustic transmission and traffic flow. Bibi et al (2017) implemented the method and established closed form wave solutions to some NLEEs through this method.

Step 3: Balancing the nonlinear terms and the highest order derivatives, we find the positive integer N concerning in equation (2.4).

Step 4: In equation (2.3), we insert equations (2.4) and (2.5) and collecting all the terms having powers of ${a}^{{if}\left(\xi \right)},(i=0,1,2,\,...)$ to zero. As a result of this insertion, yields a system of algebraic equations. This system can be probed to determine the values of ci, k, l, h, w etc.

In this section, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the coupled Burgers equation containing parameters are studied to found the traveling wave solutions by making use of the new auxiliary equation method.

3.1. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Let us consider the NLSE of the form (Biswas and milovic 2010)

Equation (3.1.1)

where F is a real valued algebraic function and it is important to have the smoothness of the complex function $F\left({\left|q\right|}^{2}\right)q:C\,\longmapsto \,C.$ Considering the complex plane C as a two-dimensional linear space R2, the function $F\left({\left|q\right|}^{2}\right)q$ is k times continuously differentiable so that

Equation (3.1.2)

In equation (3.1.1), q is dependent variable and x, t are the independent variable, and the subscripts represent the partial derivative of q with respect to that variables. The first term in (3.1.1) represents the time evolution term, while the second term is due to the group velocity dispersion and the third term represents nonlinearity, where a and b be the coefficient of second and third term respectively. Equation (3.1.1) is a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) of parabolic type which is not integrable, in general. For simplicity here we use the special case, $F\left(s\right)=s$, also known as the Kerr law of nonlinearity. In this article, we consider the subsequent NLSE,

Equation (3.1.3)

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) plays a vital role in various fields of physical, biological and engineering science. It appears in many applied areas, including nonlinear optics (Trikia and Biswasb 2011), plasma physics (Shukla and Eliasson 2010) and protein chemistry (Molkenthin et al 2010). In 1973, Hasegawa and Tappert showed that the NLSE is the appropriate equation to describe nonlinear optical light pulse propagation through optical fibers (Hasegawa and Tappert 1973).

We seek the travelling wave solutions of the NLSE given in equation (3.1.3). In order to search the wave solutions to the NLSE with Kerr law nonlinearity, we introduce the following wave transformation:

Equation (3.1.4)

Setting the transformation (3.1.4) into (3.1.3), equation (3.1.3) transforms into the following,

Equation (3.1.5)

Separating real and imaginary parts, equation (3.1.5) yields

and

Equation (3.1.7)

Therefore, from (3.1.6), we obtain

Equation (3.1.8)

Therefore, equation (3.1.7) becomes

Equation (3.2.2)

where α and β are arbitrary constants.

In fluid mechanics, Burgers equation is one of the crucial model equations (Rezazadeh et al 2019). In addition these equations are used to narrate the structure of shock waves travelling in a viscous fluid (Mittal and Rohila, 2018), traffic flow and acoustic transmission.

In order to study equations (3.2.1) and (3.2.2), we introduce the subsequent travelling wave transformations

$u\left(x,t\right)=U(\xi ),v\left(x,t\right)=V(\xi )$ and ξ = x − λ t.

Hence equations (3.2.1) and (3.2.2) take the form

Equation (3.2.3)

5. Conclusion

In this article, the analytical soliton solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the coupled Burgers equation have been successfully obtained by executing the new auxiliary equation method with less computational effort. We have established the solitary wave solutions as well as periodic wave solutions, singular periodic wave solutions, kink shape soliton, singular kink shape soliton, bell shape soliton, singular bell shape soliton and compacton wave solution of nonlinear evolution equations by choosing arbitrary values of the free parameters. The solutions are found by trigonometric, hyperbolic, rational, exponential function by using this method. The obtained solutions are quite practical, well suited and useful. This study demonstrated that the new auxiliary equation method is an influential and efficient technique in searching exact solutions for wide class of problems and can also be applied to other kind of complicated nonlinear problems. We might conclude that the suggested method can be prolonged to solve the nonlinear problems that arise in the theory of solitons and other areas.
