Some explicit travelling wave solutions to constructing exact solutions of nonlinear partial diferential equations of mathematical
physics are presented. By applying a theory of Frobenius decompositions and, more precisely, by using a transformation method to
the coupled Burgers, combined Korteweg-de Vries- (KdV-) modiied KdV and Schr¨ odinger-KdV equation is written as bilinear
ordinary diferential equations and two solutions to describing nonlinear interaction of travelling waves are generated. he
properties of the multiple travelling wave solutions are shown by some igures. All solutions are stable and have applications in
physics.
1. Introduction
he investigation of traveling wave solutions of nonlinear
evolution equations (NLEEs) plays a vital role in diferent
branches of mathematical physics, engineering sciences, and
other technical arenas, such as plasma physics, nonlinear
optics, solid state physics, luid mechanics, chemical physics,
and chemistry.
he Burgers’ equation has been found to describe various
kinds of phenomena such as a mathematical model of
turbulence [1] and the approximate theory of low through
a shock wave traveling in viscous luid [2]. Fletcher using the
Hopf-Cole transformation [3] gave an analytic solution for
the system of two-dimensional Burgers’ equations.
he Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation which models
shallow-water phenomena has been analyzed extensively
using the invariance properties that occur from the Lie
point symmetry generator that admits it. In particular,
travelling wave solutions arise from the combination of
translations in space and time. Also, Galilean invariants
and scale-invariant solutions are dependent on irst and
second Painleve transcendent [4]. Further, the modiied KdV
(mKdV) has attracted interest in a similar way and its Lie
point symmetry generators are known [5]. Recently, the
combined KdV (cKdV) and mKdV equation has been studied
using various methods with a special reference to soliton-
type solutions. For example, simple soliton solutions to cKdV-
mKdV used in plasma and luid physics are obtained in [6].
Here, the particular form uses the fact that the equation
admits a scaling symmetry which is nonexistent for the
general cKdV [7, 8].
he topic of solitons produced by nonlinear interactions
is a very fundamental topic in various ields, including
optical solitons in ibers [9]. he one-dimensional soliton
can be considered as a localized wave pulse that propagates
along one space direction undeformed; that is, dispersion is
completely compensated by the nonlinear efects. here is
an enormous amount of literature about the integrability of
nonlinear equations related to scattering equations, including
especially inverse scattering theories, in relation to solitons
[10]. In particular, analysis related to NLS and KdV equations
has been studied [10–12].
