Analytic study on two nonlinear evolution equations by using the (G'/G)-expansion method

The validity and reliability of the so-called (G'/G)-expansion method is tested by applying it to two nonlinear evolutionary equations. Solutions in more general forms are obtained. When the parameters are taken as special values, it is observed that the previously known solutions can be recovered. New rational function solutions are also presented. Being concise and less restrictive, the method can be applied to many nonlinear partial differential equations. © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
