Construction of New Infinite-Series Exact Solitary Wave Solutions and Its Application to the Korteweg–De Vries Equation

Abstract

The Korteweg–de Vries (KDV) equation is one of the most well-known models in nonlinear physics, such as fluid physics, plasma, and ocean engineering. It is very important to obtain the exact solutions of this model in the process of studying these topics. In the present paper, using distinct function iteration relations in two ways, namely, squaring infinitely and extracting the square root infinitely, which have not been reported in other documents, we construct abundant types of new infinite-series exact solitary wave solutions using the auxiliary equation method. Most of these solutions have not been reported in previous papers. The numerical analysis of some solutions shows complex solitary wave phenomena. Some solutions can have stable solitary wave structures, while others may have singularities in certain space–time positions. The results show that the analysis model we use is very simple and effective for the construction of new infinite-series solutions and new solitary wave structures of nonlinear models.
