Extended Fan's Algebraic Method and Its Application to KdV and Variant Boussinesq Equations

An extended Fan's algebraic method is used for constructing exact traveling wave solution of nonlinearpartial differential equations.The key idea of this method is to introduce an auxiliary ordinary differential equationwhich is regarded as an extended elliptic equation and whose degree Υ is expanded to the case of r>4.The efficiency ofthe method is demonstrated by the KdV equation and the variant Boussinesq equations.The results indicate that themethod not only offers all solutions obtained by using Fu's and Fan's methods,but also some new solutions.

Applications of F-expansion to Periodic Wave Solutions for Variant Boussinesq Equations

We present an F-expansion method for finding periodic wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics, which can be thought of as a concentration of extended Jacobi elliptic function expansion method proposed recently. By using the F-expansion, without calculating Jacobi elliptic functions, we obtain simultaneously many periodic wave solutions expressed by various Jacobi elliptic functions for the variant Boussinesq equations. When the modulus m approaches 1 and O, the hyperbolic function solutions （including the solitary wave solutions） and trigonometric solutions are also given respectively.

BOUNDED TRAVELING WAVE SOLUTIONS OF VARIANT BOUSSINESQ EQUATION WITH A DISSIPATION TERM AND DISSIPATION EFFECT

This article studies bounded traveling wave solutions of variant Boussinesq equation with a dissipation term and dissipation effect on them. Firstly, we make qualitative analysis to the bounded traveling wave solutions for the above equation by the theory and method of planar dynamical systems, and obtain their existent conditions, number, and general shape. Secondly, we investigate the dissipation effect on the shape evolution of bounded traveling wave solutions. We find out a critical value r^＊ which can characterize the scale of dissipation effect, and prove that the bounded traveling wave solutions appear as kink profile waves if ｜r｜≥ r^＊; while they appear as damped oscillatory waves if ｜r｜ 〈 r^＊. We also obtain kink profile solitary wave solutions with and without dissipation effect. On the basis of the above discussion, we sensibly design the structure of the approximate damped oscillatory solutions according to the orbits evolution relation corresponding to the component u（ξ） in the global phase portraits, and then obtain the approximate solutions （u（ξ）, H（ξ））. Furthermore, by using homogenization principle, we give their error estimates by establishing the integral equation which reflects the relation between exact and approximate solutions. Finally, we discuss the dissipation effect on the amplitude, frequency, and energy decay of the bounded traveling wave solutions.
