The (2 + 1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation with time-dependent coefficients is investigated. By means of the Lie group method, we first obtain several geometric symmetries for the equation in terms of coefficient functions and arbitrary functions oft. Based on the obtained symmetries, many nontrivial and time-dependent conservation laws for the equation are obtained with the help of Ibragimov’s new conservation theorem. Applying the characteristic equations of the obtained symmetries, the (2 + 1)-dimensional KP equation is reduced to (1 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations, including a special case of (2 + 1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation and different types of the KdV equation. At the same time, many new exact solutions are derived such as soliton and soliton-like solutions and algebraically explicit analytical solutions.

We firstly give some new functions called generalized hyperbolic functions. By the using of the generalized hyperbolic functions, new kinds of transformations are defined to discover the exact approximate solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. Based on the generalized hyperbolic function transformation of the generalized KdV equation and the coupled equal width wave equations (CEWE), we find new exact solutions of two equations and analyze the properties of them by taking different parameter values of the generalized hyperbolic functions. We think that these solutions are very important to explain some physical phenomena.

An application of the generalized tanh-coth method and the (G′/G)-expansion method to search for exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations is analyzed. These methods are used for the KdV equation with forcing term. The generalized tanh-coth method and the (G′/G)-expansion method were used to construct periodic wave and solitary wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. It is shown that the generalized tanh-coth method and the (G′/G)-expansion method, with the help of symbolic computation, provide a straightforward and powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear problems.

We introduce two subequations with different independent variables for constructing exact solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations. In order to illustrate the efficiency and usefulness, we apply this method to2+1-dimensional KdV equation, which was first derived by Boiti et al. (1986) using the idea of the weak Lax pair. As a result, we obtained many new exact solutions.

AbstractFrom the known Lax pair of the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, the Lie symmetry group method is successfully applied to find exact invariant solutions for the KdV equation with nonlocal symmetries by introducing two suitable auxiliary variables. Meanwhile, based on the prolonged system, the explicit analytic interaction solutions related to the hyperbolic and Jacobi elliptic functions are derived. Figures show the physical interaction between the cnoidal waves and a solitary wave.

AbstractBy employing the generalized$(G'/G)$-expansion method and symbolic computation, we obtain new exact solutions of the (3 + 1) dimensional generalized B-type Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation, which include the traveling wave exact solutions and the non-traveling wave exact solutions showed by the hyperbolic function and the trigonometric function. Meanwhile, some interesting physics structure are discussed.

Nonlinear partial differential equations are widely used to describe complex phenomena in various fields of science, for example the Korteweg-de Vries-Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation (KdV-KS equation) and the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur shallow water wave equation (AKNS-SWW equation). To our knowledge the exact solutions for the first equation were still not obtained and the obtained exact solutions for the second were just N-soliton solutions. In this paper we present kinds of new exact solutions by using the extended tanh-function method.
