Multiple exp-function method for soliton solutions of nonlinear evolution equations

Abstract

We applied the multiple exp-function scheme to the (2+1)-dimensional Sawada–Kotera (SK) equation and (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation and analytic particular solutions have been deduced. The analytic particular solutions contain one-soliton, two-soliton, and three-soliton type solutions. With the assistance of Maple, we demonstrated the efficiency and advantages of the procedure that generalizes Hirota’s perturbation scheme. The obtained solutions can be used as a benchmark for numerical solutions and describe the physical phenomena behind the model.
