The exp(-j(x)) Method and Its Applications for Solving Some Nonlinear Evolution Equations in Mathematical Physics

Abstract

The  exp(-j(x)) method is employed to find the exact traveling wave solutions involving parameters for nonlinear evolution equations. When these parameters are taken to be special values, the solitary wave solutions are derived from the exact traveling wave solutions. It is shown that the  exp(-j(x))  method provides an effective and a more powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics. Comparison between our results and the well-known results will be presented.

1. Introduction

The nonlinear partial differential equations of mathematical physics are major subjects in physical science [1] . Exact solutions for these equations play an important role in many phenomena in physics such as fluid mechanics, hydrodynamics, Optics, Plasma physics and so on. Recently many new approaches for finding these solutions have been proposed, for example, tanh-sech method [2] -[4] , extended tanh-method [5] , extended jacobain method [6] , modified simple equation method [7] [8] , sine-cosine method [9] [10] , homogeneous balance method [11] [12] , F-expansion method [13] -[15] , exp-function method [16] [17] , trigonometric function series method [18] , -expansion method [19] -[22] , Jacobi elliptic function method [23] -[26] , the

-expansion method [27] -[29] and so on.

The objective of this article is to investigate more applications than obtained in [27] -[29] to justify and

demonstrate the advantages of the method. Here, we apply this method to (2+1)-dimensional

soliton breaking equation [30] and (3+1)-dimensional Kadomstev-Petviash-vili.

Step 4. substituting these values and the solutions of Equation (5) into Equation (3) we obtain the exact solutions of Equation (1).

3. Application

Here, we will apply the method described in Section 2 to find the exact traveling wave solutions and then the solitary wave slutions for the following nonlinear systems of evolution evolution equations.

3.1. Example 1: The (2+1)-Dimensional Breaking Soliton Equations

Let us consider the (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equations [30] :

(11)

where is known constant. Equation (11) describes the (2+1)-dimensional interaction of a Riemann wave propagating along the y-axis with along wave along the x-axis. In the past years, many authors have studied Equation (11). For instance, Zhang has successfully extended the generalized auxiliary equation method of the (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equations in [31] . Some soliton-like solutions were obtained by the generalized expansion of Riccati equation in [32] . Recently, a class of periodic wave solutions were obtained by the mapping method in [33] . Two classes of new exact solutions were obtained by the singular manifold method in [34] .

Using the wave variable and proceeding as before we find

(12)

Integrating the second equation in the system and neglecting constant of integration we find

Substituting (13) into the first equation of the system and integration we find

(14)

Balancing and in Equation (14) yields,. Consequently, we get the formal solution

We next consider the (3+1)-dimensional KP equation

Xie et al. [35] obtained non-traveling wave solutions by the improved tanh function method, in which they introduced a generalized Riccati equation and gained its 27 new solutions. In this paper, we will construct new non-traveling wave solution of Equation (33). As a result, new non-traveling wave solutions including soliton- like solutions and periodic solutions of Equation (1) are obtained. A generalized variable-coefficient algebraic method with computerized symbolic computation is developed to deal with (3+1)-dimensional KP equation with variable coefficients in [36] . Chen et al. [37] study (3+1)-dimensional KP equation by using the new generalized transformation in homogeneous balance method.

Using the wave variable, the Equation (33) is carried to an ODE of the form

Integrating twice and setting the constants of integration to zero, we obtain
