AbstractIn this paper, we obtain some new explicit travelling wave solutions of the perturbed KdV equation through recent factorization techniques that can be performed when the coefficients of the equation fulfill a certain condition. The solutions are obtained by using a two-step factorization procedure through which the perturbed KdV equation is reduced to a nonlinear second order differential equation, and to some Bernoulli and Abel type differential equations whose solutions are expressed in terms of the exponential andWeierstrass functions.
By some ‘pre-possessing’ techniques we extend the generalized tanh method to special types of nonlinear equations for constructing their multiple travelling wave solutions. The efficiency of the method can be demonstrated for a large variety of special equations such as those considered in this paper, double sine-Gordon equation, (2+1)-dimensional sine-Gordon equation, Dodd-Bullough- Mikhailov equation, coupled Schrödinger-KdV equation and (2+1)-dimensional coupled Davey- Stewartson equation. - Pacs: 03.40.Kf; 02.30.Jr.
By using the tanh-coth method, we obtained some travelling wave solutions of two well-known nonlinear Sobolev type partial differential equations, namely, the Benney-Luke equation and the higher-order improved Boussinesq equation. We show that the tanh-coth method is a useful, reliable, and concise method to solve these types of equations.
