Exp-function method for solving nonlinear evolution equations with higher order nonlinearity

3rd International Symposium on Nonlinear Dynamics -- SEP 25-28, 2010 -- Shanghai, PEOPLES R CHINAWOS: 000289879400025In this paper, the Exp-function method is used to obtain generalized solitary solutions of the generalized Drinfel'd-Sokolov-Wilson (DSW) system and the generalized (2 + 1)-dimensional Burgers-type equation. Then, some of the solitary solutions are converted to periodic solutions or hyperbolic function solutions by a simple transformation. The results show that the Exp-function method is a powerful and convenient mathematical tool for solving nonlinear evolution equations with higher order nonlinearity. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
