A connection between the(G'/G)-expansion method and the truncated Painlevé expansion method and its application to the mKdV equation

Recently the （G′/G）-expansion method was proposed to find the traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. This paper shows that the （G′/G）-expansion method is a special form of the truncated Painlev＇e expansion method by introducing an intermediate expansion method. Then the generalized （G′/G）-（G/G′） expansion method is naturally derived from the standpoint of the nonstandard truncated Painlev＇e expansion. The application of the generalized method to the mKdV equation shows that it extends the range of exact solutions obtained by using the （ G′/ G）-expansion method.

In this work, the (G'/G)-expansion method is proposed for constructing more general exact solutions of two general form of Burgers type equation arising in fluid mechanics namely, Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries (Burgers-KdV) and Burger-Fisher equations.

If we set the parameters in the obtained wider set of solutions as special values, then some previously known solutions can be recovered. The method appears to be easier and faster by means of a symbolic computation system.

In this paper a generalized tanh-function type method is proposed by using the idea of the transformed rational function method. We show that the (G'/G)?-expansion method is a special case of the generalized tanh-function type method, so the (G'/G)?-expansion method is considered as a special deformation application of the transformed rational function method. We demonstrate that all solutions obtained by the (G'/G)?-expansion method were found by the generalized tanh-function type method. As applications, we consider mKdV equation. Compared with the (G'/G) -expansion method, the generalized tanh-function type method gives new and more abundant solutions.
