Subhaschandra Singh * Department of Physics, Imphal College, Imphal, Manipur, India *Corresponding author E-mail: subhasic@yahoo.co.in Abstract This paper shows the applicability of the First Integral Method in obtaining solutions of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (NLPDEs). The method is applied in constructing solutions of Kudryashov-Sinelshchikov equation (KSE) and Generalized Radhakrish- nan-Kundu-Lakshmanan Equation (GRKLE). The First Integral Method, which is based on the Ring Theory of Commutative Algebra, is a direct algebraic method for obtaining exact solutions of NLPDEs. This method is applicable to integrable as well as nonintegrable NLPDEs. The method is an efficient method for obtaining exact solutions of many Nonlinear Evolution Equations (NLEEs). Keywords: Division Theorem; First Integral Method; Generalized Radhakrishnan - Kundu- Lakshmanan Equation (GRKLE); Kudryashov Sinelshchikov Equation (KSE); NLEEs; Optical Solitons. 1. Introduction Nonlinear Evolution Equations (NLEEs) are frequently encoun- tered in the study of many complex phenomena in various branch- es of physics such as Biophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, Flu- id Physics, Neurophysics, Nonlinear Optics, Particle Physics, Plasma Physics, Quantum Field Theory, etc. and in many other branches of science such as Ecology, Physiology etc. as well as in Economics and Social Science. In the recent a few decades, quite a number of methods had been suggested so far for finding exact solutions of NLEEs in Mathematical Physics and the First Integral Method is one of them. The first integral method, which is based on the ring theory of commutative algebra, was first proposed by Z.S. Feng [1] and was further developed by himself [2 - 4]. This method has been applied by many authors in solving different types of NLEEs encountered in science and engineering [5 18]. In the present paper, the first integral method is applied in solving the Kudryashov-Sinelshchikov Equation (KSE) and the General- ized Radhakrishnan- Kundu-Lakshmanan Equation (GRKLE). The rest of the article is arranged as in the following. In section 2, a brief description of the method is presented. In section 3, the method is applied in obtaining the solutions of KSE [19 – 22] and GRKLE [23-25]. In section 4, a brief conclusion is presented. 2. The first integral method Let us consider a general NLPDE in the form (,  , ,  ,  ,  ,  ,...)= 0, (1) where  = (, ) is its solution,  and  represent the spatial and the temporal variables. Let us introduce the transformations,  = (, ) = (),  =  − , (2) where v is a constant to be determined latter. Now, we have,  (. ) =  (. ),  (. ) = −  (. ), 2  2 (. ) = 2  2 (. ) , 2  (.)= − 2  2 (. ), . (3) Using equations (3), we transform the NLEE (1) into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (NLODE) of the form, (,  , ′′ , ′′′ ,...) =0, (4) where the primes denote derivatives with respect to the same vari- able (ξ) such that =   , ′′ = 2  2 , . Let us suppose that the solution of the Non Linear Ordinary Dif- ferential Equation (NLODE) (4) can be expressed as (, ) = () = (). (5) We further introduce the following new independent variables () = (), () =  () =   =   , (6) leading to a system, () = (), () = ( (), ()). (7)
