Solitary Wave Solutions and Rational Solutions for Modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov Equation with Initial Value Problem ()
1. Introduction
Partial differential equations widely describe many phenomena in the world. Although many mathematicians and physicists presented various methods to find the explicit solutions of the partial differential equations, it is a difficult and important task to build the solutions of initial and boundary value problem. Recently, homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been applied into many problems [1] - [10] and tested to be an effective tool. Here, the initial value problem of the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov (mZK) equation is studied by using HPM.
The initial value problem of mZK equation is as following:

Many authors have studied the mZK equation [11] - [16] . The authors in Ref. [11] applied the asymptotic approach into mZK equation and found for the mZK equation that critical collapse in two dimensions is accompanied by damping both the momentum and energy of the perturbed solitary waves and that slows down the rate of the singularity formation. Ref. [12] considered the two-dimensional solitary wave (lump) interactions and the formation of singularities in mZK equation. Ref. [13] obtained a class of approximate periodic solutions for mZK equation by using the homotopy analysis method. The authors in Ref. [14] obtained many solitary waves and periodic waves and kink waves of mZK equation by using the theory of bifurcations of dynamical systems. Uisng the extended tanh method, Ref. [15] got new travelling wave solutions with solitons and periodic structures. In Ref. [16] , the first integral method was used to construct travelling wave solutions of mZK equation. Peng [17] developed the extended mapping method to study the traveling wave solution for the mZK equation. Ref. [18] applied the exp-function method to construct generalized solitary and periodic solutions of mZK equation. Authors in Ref. [19] applied the improved (G'/G)-expansion method to construct abundant new exact traveling wave solutions of mZK equation. Ref. [20] employed the complex method to obtain the exact solutions of mZK equation.
This paper is arranged as follows: In Section 2, by using HPM, we obtain the analytical approximate solution of Equation (1). By taking the form of the initial value, some exact solutions of mZK equation are obtained in Section 3. And some pictures are given to show the structure of the obtained solutions. Finally, some conclusions and discussions are given in Section 4.

In summary, we successfully apply homotopy perturbation method to the mZK equation with the initial value problem and obtain the analytical approximate solution of the mZK equation. Using the form of the initial value, the single solitary wave, two solitary waves and rational solutions of the mZK are obtained. Here, we get the two-soliton solution without using bilinear forms, Wronskian. In our later works, we will focus on the form of the initial value that can create the two solitary waves solutions.
