Abstract In this paper, we establish a traveling wave solution by using the Tan-Cot function algorithm for solving
nonlinear partial differential equations. The method is used to obtain new solitary wave solutions for various type of
nonlinear partial differential equations such as (2+1)-Dimensional Bogoyavlenskii system, Konopelchenko-
Dubrovsky coupled system and the coupled nonlinear evolution equations which are important Soliton equations.
Tan-Cot function method has been successfully implemented to establish new solitary wave solutions for the
nonlinear PDEs.
Keywords: nonlinear PDEs, exact solutions, tan-Cot function method, (2+1)-Dimensional Bogoyavlenskii system,

1. Introduction
Exact solutions to nonlinear partial differential
equations NNPDEs play an important role in nonlinear
science, especially in nonlinear physical science since they
can provide much physical information and more insight
into the physical aspects of the problem and thus lead to
further applications. Large varieties of physical, chemical,
and biological phenomena are governed by nonlinear
partial differential equations. One of the most exciting
advances of nonlinear science and theoretical physics has
been the development of methods to look for exact
solutions of nonlinear partialdifferential equations [1]. In
recent years, quite a few methods for obtaining explicit
traveling and solitary wave solutions of nonlinear
evolution equations have been proposed. A variety of
powerful methods, such as, tanh-sech method [2,3,4],
extended tanh method [5,6,7], hyperbolic function method
[8,9], Jacobi elliptic function expansion method [10], F-
expansion method [11], and the First Integral method
[12,13]. The sine-cosine method [3,14,15] has been used
to solve different types of nonlinear systems of PDEs.
In this paper, we applied the Tan-Cot method to solve
(2+1)-Dimensional Bogoyavlenskii system,
Konopelchenko-Dubrovsky coupled system, and the
coupled nonlinear evolution equations given respectively

Consider the nonlinear partial differential equation in
the form

where u(x, y, t) is a traveling wave solution of nonlinear
partial differential equation Eq. (7). We use the
transformations,
