Abstract.

The two variable -expansion method is employed to construct exact traveling wave solutions with parameters of two higher order nonlinear evolution equations, namely, the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations and the nonlinear Pochhammer-Chree equations. When the parameters are replaced by special values, the well-known solitary wave solutions of these equations are rediscovered from the traveling waves. This method can be thought of as the generalization of well-known original -expansion method proposed by Wang et al. It is shown that the two variable -expansion method provides a more powerful mathematical tool for solving many other nonlinear PDEs in mathematical physics.

1. Introduction

In the recent years, investigations of exact solutions to nonlinear PDEs play an important role in the study of nonlinear physical phenomena. Many powerful methods have been presented, such as the inverse scattering method [1], the Hirota bilinear transform method [2], the truncated Painleve expansion method [3–6], the Backlund transform method [7, 8], the exp-function method [9–13], the tanh-function method [14–17], the Jacobi elliptic function expansion method [18–20], the -expansion method [21–30], the modified -expansion method [31], and the -expansion method [32–34]. The key idea of the one variable -expansion method is that the exact solutions of nonlinear PDEs can be expressed by a polynomial in one variable in which satisfies the second order linear ODE , where and are constants and . The key idea of the two variable -expansion method is that the exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear PDEs can be expressed by a polynomial in two variables and in which satisfies the second order linear ODE , where and are constants. The degree of this polynomial can be determined by considering the homogeneous balance between the highest-order derivatives and the nonlinear terms appearing in the given nonlinear PDEs. The coefficients of this polynomial can be obtained by solving a set of algebraic equations resulted from the process of using this method. Recently, Li et al. [32] have applied the -expansion method and determined the exact solutions of Zakharov equations, while Zayed et al. [33, 34] have used this method to find the exact solutions of the combined KdV-mKdV equation and the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation.

The objective of this paper is to apply the two variable -expansion method to find the exact traveling wave solutions of the higher order nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations [35]

and the higher order nonlinear Pochhammer-Chree equations [36]

where , , , and are constants.

Equation (1) plays an important role in many scientific applications, such as the solid state physics, the nonlinear optics, and the quantum field theory (see [37–39]). Wazwaz [40, 41] investigated the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations and found many types of exact traveling wave solutions including compact solutions, soliton solution, solitary patterns solutions, and periodic solutions using the tanh- function method. Zayed and Gepreel [35] have found the exact solutions of (1) using the -expansion method. Equation (2) represents nonlinear models of longitudinal wave propagation of elastic rods; see [42–47]. Zuo [36] has discussed (2) using the extended -expansion method and found the traveling wave solutions of these equations. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we give the description of the two variable -expansion method. In Section 3, we apply this method to solve (1) and (2). In Section 4, some conclusions are given.

2. Description of the Two Variable -Expansion Method

Before we describe the main steps of this method, we need the following remarks (see [32–34]):

Remark 1. If we consider the second order linear ODE

and set , , then we get

where and are constants.

Remark 2. If , then the general solution of (3) has the following form:

where and are arbitrary constants. Consequently, we have

where .

Remark 3. If , then the general solution of (3) has the following form:

and hence

where .

Remark 4. If , then the general solution of (3) has the following form:

and hence

Suppose we have the following nonlinear evolution equation

where is a polynomial in and its partial derivatives. In the following, we give the main steps of the -expansion method [32–34].

Step 1. The traveling wave transformation

where is a constant and reduces (11) to an ODE in the following form:

where is a polynomial of and its total derivatives with respect to .

Step 2. Assuming that the solution of (13) can be expressed by a polynomial in the two variables and as follows:

where () and () are constants to be determined later.

Step 3. Determine the positive integer in (14) by using the homogeneous balance between the highest-order derivatives and the nonlinear terms in (13). In some nonlinear equations the balance number is not a positive integer. In this case, we make the following transformations [48]:

(a)when , where is a fraction in the lowest terms, we let

then substitute (15) into (13) to get a new equation in the new function with a positive integer balance number;(b)when is a negative number, we let

and substitute (16) into (13) to get a new equation in the new function with a positive integer balance number.

Step 4. Substituting (14) into (13) along with (4) and (6), the left-hand side of (13) can be converted into a polynomial in and , in which the degree of is no longer than 1. Equating each coefficients of this polynomial to zero yields a system of algebraic equations which can be solved by using the Maple or Mathematica to get the values of , , , , , , and , where .

Step 5. Similar to Step 4, substituting (14) into (13) along with (4) and (8) for (or (4) and (10) for ), we obtain the exact solutions of (13) expressed by trigonometric functions (or by rational functions), respectively.

4. Conclusions

The two variable -expansion method is used in this paper to obtain some new solutions of two higher order nonlinear evolution equations, namely, the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations and the nonlinear Pochhammer-Chree equations. As the two parameters and take special values, we obtain the solitary wave solutions. When and in (3) and (14), the two variable -expansion method reduces to the -expansion method. So the two variable -expansion method is an extension of the -expansion method. The proposed method in this paper is more effective and more general than the -expansion method because it gives exact solutions in more general forms. In summary, the advantage of the two variable -expansion method over the -expansion method is that the solutions obtained by using the first method recover the solutions obtained by using the second one. Finally, all solutions obtained in this paper have been checked with the Maple by putting them back into the original equations.
