In this article, we investigate the exact and solitary wave solutions for the shallow water wave equations and the generalized Klein-Gordon equation using the exp -expansion method. A wave transformation is applied to convert the problem into the form of an ordinary differential equation. By using this method, we found the explicit solitary wave solutions in terms of the hyperbolic functions, trigonometric functions, exponential functions and rational functions. The extracted solution plays a significant role in many physical phenomena such as electromagnetic waves, nonlinear lattice waves, ion sound waves in plasma, nuclear physics, shallow water waves and so on. It is noted that the method is reliable, straightforward and an effective mathematical tool for analytic treatment of nonlinear systems of partial differential equation in mathematical physics and engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
