New traveling wave solutions for nonlinear evolution equations

Abstract

The generalized Jacobi elliptic function expansion method is used with a computerized symbolic computation for constructing the new exact traveling wave solutions. The validity and reliability of the method is tested by its applications on a class of nonlinear evolution equations of special interest in mathematical physics. As a result, many exact traveling wave solutions are obtained which include the kink-shaped solutions, bell-shaped solutions, singular solutions and periodic solutions. The method is straightforward and concise, and it can also be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.
