The first integrals of second order ordinary differential equations are considered. The necessary conditions of the existence of analytical first integrals for the equation are presented. Then, the first integrals of the equation are obtained using Lie symmetry method. The results of the first integrals are applied to certain classes of partial differential equations, the conditions of nonexistence of the traveling wave solutions of the partial differential equations are obtained, and traveling wave solutions of the equations under the certain parametric conditions are also obtained.

We apply the G′/G2-expansion method to construct exact solutions of three interesting problems in physics and nanobiosciences which are modeled by nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs). The problems to which we want to obtain exact solutions consist of the Benny-Luke equation, the equation of nanoionic currents along microtubules, and the generalized Hirota-Satsuma coupled KdV system. The obtained exact solutions of the problems via using the method are categorized into three types including trigonometric solutions, exponential solutions, and rational solutions. The applications of the method are simple, efficient, and reliable by means of using a symbolically computational package. Applying the proposed method to the problems, we have some innovative exact solutions which are different from the ones obtained using other methods employed previously.
