Exact Travelling Wave Solutions of the Schamel–Korteweg–de Vries Equation

Abstract

The Schamel–Korteweg–de Vries (S-KdV) equation containing a square root nonlinearity is a very attractive model for the study of ion-acoustic waves in plasma and dusty plasma. In this work, we obtain exact travelling wave solutions of the S-KdV equation by employing the exp function method. In general, the exact travelling wave solutions will be helpful in the theoretical and numerical study of the nonlinear evolution equations. The work emphasizes the power of the method in providing distinct solutions of different physical problems.
