A systemized version of the tanh method is used to solve particular evolution and wave equations. If one deals with conservative systems, seeks travelling solutions in form a finite series tanh. present, boundary conditions are implemented this expansion. The associated velocity can then be determined priori, provided solution vanishes at infinity. Hence, exact closed obtained easily various cases.

With the aid of tanh method, nonlinear wave equations are solved in a perturbative way. First, KdVBurgers equation is investigated limit weak dispersion. As result, general shock profile, with solitary-wave contribution superposed, emerges. For particular choice parameters, comparison exact solution made. Further, MKdVBurgers same and similar results obtained.

The authors present a systematic and formal approach toward finding solitary wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations from the real exponential underlying linear equations. physical concept is one mixing these elementary through nonlinearities in system. emphasis is, however, on mathematical aspects, i.e. procedure necessary to find single solutions. By means examples it shown how various cases pulse-type kink-type are be obtained by this method. An exhaustive list so treated...

The direct algebraic method for constructing travelling wave solutions on nonlinear evolution and equations has been generalized systematized. class of solitary is extended to analytic (rather than rational) functions the real exponential linearized equation. Expanding in an infinite series these exponentials, exact solution PDE obtained, whenever can be summed. Methods solving recursion relation coefficients summing closed form are discussed. algorithm now suited by any symbolic...

In contrast to overtaking interactions, head-on collisions between two electrostatic solitons can be dealt with only by use of an approximate method, which limits the range validity but offers valuable insights. Treatments in plasma physics literature all assumptions stretching space and time expansion dependent variables that are seldom, if ever, discussed. All models force a separability lowest order, corresponding linear waves opposite equally large velocities. A systematic exposition...

A recursion operator is an integro-differential which maps a generalized symmetry of nonlinear PDE to new symmetry. Therefore, the existence guarantees that has infinitely many higher-order symmetries, key feature complete integrability. Completely integrable PDEs have bi-Hamiltonian structure and Lax pair; they can also be solved with inverse scattering transform admit soliton solutions any order. straightforward method for symbolic computation polynomial operators in (1+1) dimensions...
