An extended Tanh-function method with Riccati equation is presented for constructing multiple exact travelling wave solutions of some nonlinear evolution equations which are particular cases of a generalized equation. The results of solitary waves are general compact forms with non-zero constants of integration. Taking the full advantage of the Riccati equation improves the applicability and reliability of the Tanh method with its extended form.

The purpose of this article is to present an analytical method, namely the improved F -expansion method combined with the Riccati equation, for finding exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. The present method is capable of calculating all branches of solutions simultaneously, even if multiple solutions are very close and thus difficult to distinguish with numerical techniques. To verify the computational efficiency, we consider the modified Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation and the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. Our results reveal that the method is a very effective and straightforward way of formulating the exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear wave equations arising in mathematical physics and engineering.

AbstractIn this work, we established new travelling wave solutions for some nonlinear evolution equations with dual-power-law nonlinearity namely the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation, the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation and the Korteweg–de Vries equation. The functional variable method was used to construct travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations with dual-power-law nonlinearity. The travelling wave solutions are expressed by generalized hyperbolic functions and the rational functions. This method presents a wider applicability for handling nonlinear wave equations.
